Carmelgiri Botanical Garden, Munnar

It was a good garden with wide varieties of cactus. I was surprised to see some fruits like apple, orange, guava and strawberry growing in such a small plant. They charge 50 rs per adult. There is also well maintained toilet facility inside and they charge rs 5. If you love plants specially indoor ones then it is a must visit place. There is restaurant and a spice store attached to this place. The restaurant seems to be very crowded always. So I assume the food to be good although I didn't try it. The spice store has variety of spices and home made chocolate made in their factory right behind the store. Try the black cardamom and nutmeg. The incense stick with lemon grass flavour is too good.

Great garden for cactus lovers. I am a huge fan so I really enjoyed this garden. The cactus are quite rare and they have a good selection of hybrid ones too. They also have a section for fruit plants and other plants. I totally recommend it
