Useful Tips

If you have more time, you can add a visit to the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can engage in eco-tourism activities such as jungle walks, bamboo rafting, and night treks. Also, if you're visiting between June and September, you can opt for the monsoon trek at Munnar Hill Station, which gives you an unparalleled view of the falling rain.

If you have less time, you can skip the Wayanad Heritage Museum and spend more time exploring the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. Alternatively, you can cut the Kundala Lake rafting and opt for the Tata Tea Museum or Mattupetty Dam instead.
