Munnar, alleppy, kumarkonam which place is the best to visit? iam 1st time visiting kerala.?

Munnar is a beautiful getaway landscaped with tea plantations, hills, lakes, forests and winding walks. Located at an altitude of 1,829 m, it is home to South India's highest peak called Anamudi, standing 2,695 m tall. It is also an important commercial centre in the Idukki district. The economy of Munnar thrives primarily from its vast tea estates and coffee plantations. Tourism is also another contributor. Often referred to as the Kashmir of South India, Munnar offers tourists a mix of relaxation and adventure amidst beautiful landscapes. The word Munnar in Tamil means three rivers. Munnar is located where the rivers Mudrapuzha, Nallathani and Kundala converge, and so the name. The history of Munnar can be traced back to the 10th century, which is its recorded history; although various relics that have been discovered point to its existence in the Stone Age. Around the 17th century the people of Tamil origin known as Muthuvans came and settled in Munnar and the nearby areas. It was also around the same time when the first European, the Duke of Wellington was said to have visited this place.

I would try talking you into a an overnight houseboat tour through the back waters of Kerala near Alleppey. It's relaxing, the scenery is gorgeous, and it really lives up the hype.

Be prepared to have bad or very bad food wherever you go in Kerala.
