点评:The top station is just a raised viewing platform from which one can have a good view of the valley and mountains if there is no fog. However, this view can be seen from other less crowded places along the road leading to top station. The infrastructure in the top station is very rudimentary, and food is available only from roadside shanty restaurants. Beware there are NO good restroom facilities. There is one make shift one we noticed with long lines which is better avoided.
You can visit Mettupatty dam and Kundla dams on the way. The problem is that at Top station where you would turn around to come back in to Munnar there is NO TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT may be this is in TamilNadu and the jurisdiction is different not sure, but tourists would have to suffer through hours of nightmare to turn around and start driving back to Munnar. It would be wise to turn back before reaching top station intersection if possible. This would NOT be the only traffic jam you would face. The other would be where the top station highway meets Munnar colony road in Munnar town on the way back. We were stuck for 2+ hours at this point.
Munnar has decent sights but it DOES NOT HAVE the infrastructure to handle influx of tourists and the city authorities DO NOT seem to have the will to address any of it. There is potential to manage the traffic better and improve road infrastructure to relieve traffic bottle necks, but there are no signs of those happening as of yet.
Pro tip: If you are still inclined to go to Munnar, avoid weekends and holidays, and also do yourself a favor and pack a lot of patience.
翻译:山顶站只是一个升高的观景台,如果没有雾,从那里可以欣赏到山谷和山脉的美景。但是,从通往山顶站的路上其他人烟稀少的地方也可以看到这种景色。山顶站的基础设施非常简陋,食物只能从路边的简陋餐馆买到。请注意,这里没有好的卫生间设施。我们注意到有一个临时的卫生间,排队很长,最好避免。
您可以在途中参观 Mettupatty 水坝和 Kundla 水坝。问题是,在您掉头返回 Munnar 的山顶站没有交通管理,这可能是在 TamilNadu,管辖范围不同,不确定,但游客将不得不忍受数小时的噩梦才能掉头并开始开车返回 Munnar。如果可能的话,在到达山顶站交叉路口之前掉头是明智的。这不会是您将遇到的唯一交通堵塞。另一个是回程时上车站高速公路与 Munnar 镇的 Munnar 殖民地道路交汇的地方。我们当时被困了 2 个多小时。
Munnar 的景色不错,但没有基础设施来处理大量游客的涌入,而市政当局似乎没有意愿解决任何问题。可以更好地管理交通并改善道路基础设施以缓解交通瓶颈,但目前还没有迹象表明这些正在发生。
专业提示:如果您仍然倾向于前往 Munnar,请避开周末和假期,同时也要帮自己一个忙,多带点耐心。
