Sienna village…Munnar

The hill roads had gruesome and sharp turns that can send shivers down the spine. The breadth of the road could accommodate not more than two bikes at same time, and our driver was so adept at driving on such scales that we were cruising at a speed of 80 kmph.
After a long wait during our travel, we finally reached to the top of the hill where our resort was situated.

Sienna village is a privately owned resort in Munnar and present exotic duplex cottages with a wide panoramic view of the scenery. The sitting room had a television and a sofa set where you can relieve yourself and relax around. The bedroom had a small balcony that open towards the hill side and a dam in front of us. We had a candle light dinner where we could feel the presence of other newly-wed couples around. Apart from Indians, there were many foreigners around in the restaurant trying their hands at eating ‘idli’s with fork and knife..!!!

The serene ambience was complimented with slight cold breeze of air. The rooms were warm and it was perfect occasion to sip a cup of tea while seating in the relaxing chair in the balcony. This place is famous for tea gardens (those are majorly owned by TATA Tea Ltd) and condiments. As you stroll over the walkways, you could smell the mixed fragrance of different types of condiments. We had few pictures of tea gardens and I must admit that these gardens are amazing. They seem to be like a painting beautifully carved with natural shades of colors. The plantations were aligned perfectly by the gardener or else by the nature.
Then we went to flower nursery where couples were seen clicking their best pose in front of camera with beautiful flowers in background. We found it little boring, infact artificial. Then we moved on to visit dams where you can enjoy the boat rides and road shopping. Munnar is also famous for home-made chocolates and sure we had our share too..!!!

We could find a lovely cuisine over the local shop for which were longing for so much of time…bachelor’s own favorite “Maggi”. We stuffed ourselves with 2 plates of maggi over the lunch and still wishing for more..!! After more sight-seeing we decided to shop for some condiments and chocolates for our dear ones to satisfy their raised hope against us.

Munnar is a small hill station and has always been an attraction for foreign tourists. The people are so humble and cooperative that you can’t resist thanking them for their courtesy. It was the time to return back to Hyderabad with lots of memories in our hearts (and camera of course..!!).
