Munnar tourism expected to rise during 2026 Onam season

Tourism in Munnar, Kerala, is expected to see a significant boost during the 2026 Onam holiday period. Travelers are being drawn to the region by the combination of the festive season and the blooming of Neelakurinji flowers in high-altitude areas such as the Chokramudi hills.

Following a period of monsoon-related travel uncertainty involving landslides and traffic restrictions, improving weather conditions and better road access through the Western Ghats are encouraging a return of visitors. Travelers are advised to book accommodations early due to the anticipated crowds of nature lovers and photographers.
