The road distance from Hyderabad to Munnar is 994 km via NH44 — too long for most people to drive in one go.
You cross 13 toll plazas across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala. For a car the published fees add up to ₹1,195 one way, about ₹1.20 per km, which is on the expensive side for Indian highways. 2 plazas on this route do not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹160 extra to be safe.
At 20 h of realistic driving time, plan an overnight halt roughly halfway — two drivers sharing the wheel is the safer option if you must do it in one day.
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.

Plan on about 20 h including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 14 h 15 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹4,610, 3-axle ₹5,710, 4–6 axle ₹7,295, 7+ axle ₹8,440 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Munnar to Hyderabad toll is the same ~₹1,355 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Munnar's state price.
