Spice Garden - Park in Kampiline - Idukki, India

It's a really good place to understand and know about the different types of spices and it's medicinal values. It takes around 20 mins to explain everything. And the people who show around are multilingual and had pretty good knowledge about the spices growing there.

Price is cheap to visit. Rs100 per person, but at the end they try to sell and upsell sarees, spices, Ayurvedic medicines, Oudh. In my opinion, the Bramhi we bought for Rs 2400 was a bit more expensive than regular outside places.

A brief information on medicinal plant and spices, Aryuvedic medicine are sold for different health issues

Interesting to see spices and ayurvedic plants. The tour was around 30 mins long with an English speaking guide. We enjoyed it. But I feel that their main interest was to sell us overprices supplements. I'm a foreigner but even I thought that things cost like 3-4 times as much as they should've been. We didn't buy anything. The mini tour was interesting though so 3 stars from me.

They charged 100 rs/ per person for a tour. There is long waiting time. They take you through jeep to the garden along with 1 tour guide, who explains you the different ayurvedic plants ans there usage. Though this is very informative and interesting but eventually they try to sell you some products based on that tour.We found the products are quite costly, they try to label it as authentic but we don't know it. There are some doctors they try to recommend you medicine as per your requirements.

Known about many medicinal plants but ticket price is high which not much worth for it. People there are only interested to sell as many as much as products they can. They kept pestering us to buy things

If you like nature and flowers and want to gain some knowledge on medicinal stuffs then you can visit this place. They tell you history of plants and their power to heal the human body. I would prefer that you gain knowledge from them but don't buy anything there. They are just cheating you. The guide first tells us about the plants 15 min walk in park like. Then takes us to shop and shows us the medicine bottles. He forces us to take their medicines. I was least interested in the way he spoke. One of my friend asked about a medicine for his mother who is on bed rest and the reply from this arrogant guide was - anyways you are not going to buy anything, then what is the use of showing you the product.. When we go to any shop, is it necessary you have to buy there items?? We were interested in few spices but the way he showed us the item and inbetween he spoke in rude manner - says, if you want to buy then go inside else you can wait outside . Their team is all fake and they are just selling you there items. He also said us to talk to one of the doctor for some personal medicine. The way she spoke, she didn't know English or tamil or hindi. We even doubted if she was a doctor or just wearing 1 white coat made her a doctor. All in all, they are just cheating you. 100rs for entery and that 1 min ride in jeep is just nonsense. Their chocolate factory shop is also just okay. Just because you have wasted so much time and fuel to reach that place, you will think to buy atleast 1 box of chocolate for your family or friends.

It is one of must visit place in Munnar. They have most rare herb in India. Near to garden, there is ayurvedic medicine shop where you can buy medicine made by these herbs. It's better to visit the garden with guide, he can help you in undertaking of the benefits of herbs. The entry fees is 100 rs/ person. Near to garden there chocolate factory where you can buy home made chocolates. It takes almost 2 hours to walkthrough the garden
