Don't forget to capture the perfect Insta-worthy shot at the picturesque tea gardens.
Start your day with an adventurous hike at the Mattupetty Dam, where you can spot rare species of birds and even elephants if you're lucky. Next, head over to Kundala Lake for some thrilling activities like boating and speed boating surrounded by the hills and tea plantations. If you're an adventure junkie, try your hand at trout fishing or rappelling. The Echo Point near the lake is a must-visit to experience the unique echo effect.
If you have extra time, don't miss out on the Eravikulam National Park, home to endangered species like the Nilgiri Tahr and rare orchids. For those who love spice, visit the Spice Garden in Munnar to learn about the different types of spices found in Kerala. If you have less time, skip Mattupetty Dam and Kundala Lake and visit the Lockhart Tea Museum or the Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary instead.
