Drenched in the mist and greenery,
Pothamedu viewpoint is a spot worth trekking to. This viewpoint enables a
panoramic vista of the valley and if the day is clear, you can also see Muthirapuzha River and Idukki Arch
Dam from quite a height. The view is made of series of emerald hill slopes
where tea, coffee, cardamom, and pepper make a blanket of green all over the
hills.
While you are enjoying the mesmerizing view of the valley, take a sip of
ginger tea from the only tea shop nearby and you would love spending your
evening at Pothamedu. Watching the sun
slide down the horizon in the vast expanse of the Sahyadri ranges is one
perfect way of spending your vacation in this quaint town.

the many places to visit in Munnar
