Highly recommended! Fantastic hike! - Fantastic hike. Our guide Suresh was a kind hearted and very knowledgeable person. He took us on the right hike at night time so we could be at a beautiful spot to watch the sunrise. The sunrise was amazing! The clouds in the valley below were magical. While walking back through the tea plantations to the jeep, Suresh explained the tea processing really well. We didn’t know many things. Do carry water and food if you need on the trip. Highly recommend this trip!

Tour of the Sunrise - The driver was punctual kind and very helpful, we started the tour at 4:30 am, after about an hour of driving and, another half hour of walking in the tea plantations we arrived at the beautiful viewpoint.
Super recommended.

Worth getting up early for! - I joined 2 couples who were staying at the same guest house as I (so shared the 4500 rupee cost). Suresh collected us from our accommodation and drove us to Top Point. Along the way, we encountered a bison! At Top Point, we hiked for about 30 minutes to a viewing point and watched the sunrise. Spectacular! Hiked back down and on the way back to our accommodation, we drove past tea plantations and called at 3 lakes / dams where we had the opportunity to walk around, grab a coffee etc. Arrived back just after 0930 (having left at 0430).

Great sunrise hike at the top station with Surya! - Had a great time on the sunrise tour this morning with Surya. We were picked up promptly at 4.30am and expertly driven to a spot just short of the top station. We hiked up for approximately 30mins and we were greeted with stunning sun rise views over the mountains. The best way to start your morning!
Afterwards we hiked down through the tea plantations and took in the stunning views. We stopped at a local tea stand for some breakfast Vadai with tea and coffee which were excellent!
We stopped at a few local tourist sites on our way back and managed to make it back to our hotel by 10am which left us with the rest of the day to relax and enjoy Munnar!
Would highly recommend this tour and Surya! Can be chilly though so bring warm clothes!

Fantastic sunrise views - This was an excellent tour with our guide Suresh- definitely worth the very early morning start. Suresh picked us up from our hotel and took us to an amazing view point- it does include an amount of walking once you’ve left the jeep but he guided us well. The views were incredible and the sunrise was an amazing sight. Would recommend.

Amazing trip with Suresh - We had a great trip with Suresh. He was an excellent guide with good knowledge of the wildlife in the area and was good fun. For a small additional cost he picked us up from our resort.
Most of all though was the amazing location he took us to. After a 30 minute walk we arrived at the most stunning spot to watch the sunrise, a truly memorable experience.
The 4am alarm was well worth it.

Out of this world - We took the sunrise tour and were promptly picked up by Mani at 4:30am and taken to Top Point where we left the car behind and trekked to a spot where the views of the sun rising were out of this world. When I look at my pictures, even I can’t believe they are real! Mani was an excellent driver and guide, pointing out animals on the way and back and full of information about Munnar. Truly a memorable experience!! The walk back through the plantations was beautiful and Mani took so many great photos for us to remember this special experience.

Good quick Munnar tour - Started with a little hiccup as we were picked up late, but this was made up by our driver - Surya. He was accommodating to us and showed us around well. Also a very good driver!

Overpriced - The sunrise at the end is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking, but overall, this tour felt extremely overpriced for what it offered—essentially just transportation and guided walk to the viewpoint.
There was no water provided, which was disappointing. As a solo traveler, I also found the guide to be quite distant, so this experience might be better suited for couples or groups.
The hike up takes about 30 minutes, and it’s in completely darkness.. The only light came from the guide’s phone, which felt quite unprofessional—having a proper torch would have made a big difference. Because of the poor lighting, I accidentally stepped into a huge muddy puddle, soaking my trainers and leggings. Near the top, the trail became very slippery, and I actually hurt my ankle at one point.
Additionally, no one prior warned me about how cold it would be. It was freezing, and on the drive back, the car doors were left open, making it even worse—I was literally shivering the entire way.
I’d also recommend bringing your own breakfast, as I was starving by the time I got back to the hotel.
While the view at the top was stunning, the overall experience didn’t match the price I paid. I left feeling a bit disappointed.
