The sender writes that this is Munnar, Kerala, India
The postcard arrived completely folded in half and then more creases on top of that. I tried to fix it up a bit to make it look a little more presentable.
postmarked on December 12, 2012 with a special 'Once in a Millenium 12-12-12' postmark from Mumbai and signed by eight members of a postcrossing meet-up that took place on 12/12/12!!

Munnar is a high elevation town on the Western Ghats, a range of mountains situated in the Indian state of Kerala.
The name Munnar is believed to mean "three rivers", referring to the town's strategic location at the confluence of the Madhurapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundaly rivers.
Munnar is surrounded by the country's highest tea gardens. Layers and layers of tea estates, mountain mist, waterfalls and wildlife sanctuaries make Munnar almost surrealistically beautiful.
Munnar is also famous for the wild orchids locally called Neelakurinchi which blooms once in 12 years. During this time the entire valley turns violet.
