Start your day early with a visit to Rajamalai or Eravikulam National Park, a protected area known for its endangered Nilgiri Tahr. Enjoy a 40-minute scenic drive along the winding roads of the park and spot wildlife such as Sambar Deer, Otters, and a variety of bird species. Don't forget to take a guided trek to the Anamudi Peak, the highest peak in South India at 2,695 m.
Start your morning by taking a tour around the Tea Museum, where you can learn about the evolution of tea making and processing while enjoying picturesque views of the tea plantation. Afterward, take a 25-minute drive to Pothamedu View Point, one of the best viewpoints in Munnar to enjoy panoramic views of the Western Ghats and take family photos.
Visit Echo Point, a scenic lakeside spot with a mountainside viewpoint. Shout out your name or any word, and the sound will echo up to seven times. Afterward, drive for 10 minutes to Kundala Lake, an artificial reservoir surrounded by lush green tea gardens. Rent a pedal boat or indulge in a Shikara ride while admiring the tranquil environment.
Drive for an hour to Top Station, a scenic location perched at an altitude of 1700m above sea level. Top Station is the spot to witness the sunrise and sunset amidst the Western Ghats. Afterward, you can trek for about two hours in the nearby Kolukkumalai tea estate, the world's highest organic tea plantation, nestled on the top of the rolling hills.
For travelers with more time, plan a visit to Mattupetty Dam or Cheeyappara and Valara waterfalls. To save time, combine Kundala lake and Top Station to a single day trip. For travelers with less time, combine Day 2 and Day 3 itinerary to a single day trip.
