Tips

If you have an extra day, consider extending your stay in Munnar to visit Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary or take a trek to Kolukkumalai for a breathtaking sunrise. For a shorter trip, cut the Kodaikanal itinerary by skipping the Berijam Lake trek and focus on the main attractions (Lake, Pillar Rocks, and Coaker's Walk) to save both time and travel costs.
