Begin your trip with a visit to Kolukkumalai, the world's highest tea estate. The drive to the estate is scenic, and the tea estate itself is situated at an altitude of over 8,000 feet above sea level. Take a guided tour of the plantation to learn about the tea-making process and enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding hills.
Start your day with a visit to Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr and a variety of other fauna and flora. Take a guided tour to learn about the park's ecology and enjoy the natural beauty of the park, including rolling hills, waterfalls, and streams.
Visit the scenic Kundala Lake, where you can go boating or take a walk along the shores. Then, head to Mattupetty Dam, a popular picnic spot known for its picturesque views and serene surroundings. Take a boat ride on the dam and visit the nearby dairy farm for some fresh milk and cheese.
If you have more time, consider visiting other attractions such as the Tea Museum or the Rose Garden. If you have less time, skip Kundala Lake and Mattupetty Dam and spend more time at Eravikulam National Park or the Tea Estate. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing as there will be a fair amount of walking involved during the tour.
