About the Coimbatore–Munnar drive

Coimbatore to Munnar is a comfortable one-day drive of 153 km.

You cross 1 toll plaza across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, but none of them publishes fees in the NHAI dataset (they are mostly state or municipal plazas). Based on typical highway fees we estimate about ₹80 for a car — treat it as a budget, not an exact figure.

Munnar is a hill destination: the last stretch climbs ghat roads, where mileage drops by roughly 15–25% and speeds fall sharply. Our fuel figures use flat-road mileage, so add a buffer.
