What Makes Pallivasal One of the Top Offbeat Trekking Trails in Munnar?

It started as a post-chai stroll.

I just wanted to stretch my legs. Instead, I found myself bushwhacking through tall grass and wondering if I’d accidentally trespassed into someone’s backyard jungle.

This is Pallivasal.

It’s not famous. It’s not commercial. But it’s one of the most peaceful, raw, and strangely magical offbeat trekking trails in Munnar.

There were no signs. No guided groups. Just mist, birdsong, and the very real possibility of stepping in something squishy.

You Don’t Find Pallivasal. It Finds You.

There’s no trailhead. No welcome sign. Just a narrow path behind a tea shack and a gut feeling that says, “Go.”

And somehow, going feels right.

The trail takes you through jungle, then opens up to surreal views of Munnar’s rolling hills and waterfalls.

At one point I sat on a mossy rock and just stared. No one else around. No camera clicks. No pressure to move.

This is why solo travelers crave offbeat trekking trails in Munnar. For moments like that.

Like Indiana Jones with Bad Directions

There were times I thought I’d taken a wrong turn. And maybe I did.

I slipped, got muddy, and probably scared off a few birds with my questionable singing.

But somehow, it added to the magic.

This wasn’t a sanitized experience. It was wild and real — exactly what offbeat treks in Munnar are meant to be.
