Tips

If you have an extra day, consider a day‑trip to the nearby Vagamon hills for additional trekking and paragliding opportunities. To shorten the trip, you can combine the morning visit to Top Station with the afternoon at Eravikulam National Park, skipping the Kolukkumalai tea plantation, which will still give you a rich Munnar experience in just two days.
