Sunrise tour in Top Station , Munnar ( 4 - 5Hr) Guest Review: He picked us up at 4:30 am in the pitch black and bundled us together with another couple into the back of a tiny Jeep. We were driving into the middle of nowhere in the dead of night, along small bumpy roads, with barely enough space to move, and a canopy dropped over the sides so we couldn’t see outside. It felt like we were taking part in an illegal smuggling operation. After 50 minutes we reached our starting point just as the sun was beginning to shed light on the dark sky. Once we reached the summit, we enjoyed a delicious meal among the changing clouds and mist. An hour later, bellies full and feeling well rested we started our descent. On the final stretch, we walked through a few tea plantations.
