Описание: Gap road is located at a distance of 9Km from Pallivasal. This road, connecting Munnar to Madurai (NH 47) originates from Cochin. The expansive panorama of lush green tea plantations, clouds of white mist that resemble soft cotton, the beautiful blue skies with the mist kissed hills for a backdrop, the place is a dream for those seeking solitude in this beautiful valley of Munnar. The place gets its name from the gap formed between two mountains which resemble the shape of a heart.
Lockhart (or Lock Heart) Gap is a gap between two mountains near Munnar, which looks similar to the shape of a heart. You can observe this gap and the surrounding landscape from the Lockhart Gap ViewPoint.
This viewpoint is on Lockhart Gap Road, about 12 km from Munnar. It offers an expansive view of the tea-covered slopes, mist-clad blue hills and the winding roads in the valley. Views of the valley hidden by the fog, scenic stretch of road and a gorgeous sunset are only a few things which attract people to Lockhart Gap Road View Point.
It is a popular picnic spot, heaven for trekkers and a quiet recess for anyone who’s looking for some solitude. The little time you spend at Lockhart Gap Munnar would be enough to refresh and rejuvenate you. And it’s a paradise for photographers too.
Most tourists travel to Munnar via Adimali and Pallivasal. However, the route through Rajakumari and Pooppara is an unforgettable experience.
This road has become a hit among the travellers after the Munnar Gap road, which was damaged in a landslip, was repaired.
Though it entails an additional travel for 30 kilometres, even those who have visited Munnar 30 times are guaranteed to feel the novelty of the experience.
From Adimali, take a deviation left on to Rajakumari road and reach Pooppara. It is only when we get on to the Kochi-Dhanuskhkodi highway that we really experience the pleasure of travel on the route.
As we drive through the mirror-smooth road, we can take in the sights of the Anayirangal dam, which appears as if in a geographical map. The dam appears like a huge swimming pool in the midst of tea estates. The next pit stop is the powerhouse waterfalls. This is literally the “power pack” sight of the route. From a distance, the falls resemble Goa's Dudhsagar. Even from a distance of 2 km, one can see vehicles moving like small dots beside the falls. Travellers can stop their vehicles near the falls and take photographs.Proceed further through the mist-covered tea estates and the twists and turns take you to Devikulam. On the way are numerous sights of interest where one can take photographs.
Since the road is being repaired at Devikulam, the stretch is not in a good condition for 2 km. It is just 10 km more to Munnar from Devikulam.
