Start your day with a visit to Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr and the highest peak in South India, Anamudi. Embark on a guided trek to the peak and enjoy breathtaking views of the Western Ghats. The park also features a stunning array of flora and fauna, including the Neelakurinji flower, which blooms once every 12 years. Keep an eye out for the resident bird population and enjoy a picnic lunch in the serene surroundings.
Wake up early and drive to Top Station located at the highest point on the Munnar-Kodaikanal road. This scenic spot offers stunning views of the surrounding valleys and if the weather is clear, you can even get a view of the Tamil Nadu plains. Enjoy a cup of locally brewed tea and a walk around the area. Return to Munnar for an evening of Ayurvedic relaxation at the Kolukkumalai Tea Estate where you can learn the art of tea picking and indulge in a therapeutic massage.
If you have more time, add a visit to the Tea Museum to learn about the history and production of tea in the region. Additionally, for adventure seekers, try out some rock climbing at the Lockhart Gap. If you have less time, skip the massage at Kolukkumalai Tea Estate and spend more time at Eravikulam National Park, which boasts several trekking trails of varying difficulty levels.
