Start your trip with a visit to the Periyakanal Waterfalls, which are located in a picturesque valley surrounded by hills covered in coffee and spice plantations. Take a dip in the refreshing pool at the base of the falls or hike to the top for a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside.
Take a scenic drive to Thekkady, where you can explore the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. Embark on a jungle walk, bamboo rafting, or even a tiger trail. Afterward, take a stroll through the bustling Kumily spice market and load up on flavorful souvenirs to take home.
On your final day, visit the picturesque tea estate of Vangamon. Take a guided tour to learn about the history and production of tea. Enjoy a cup of freshly brewed tea while admiring the scenic view. Before heading back, explore the Vangamon Pine Forest and take a relaxing stroll while being engulfed in nature.
For those with more time, consider a boat ride or an elephant ride in the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. You can also spend an extra day in Vangamon to explore the Indo-Swiss Dairy Farm and the Vagamon Meadows. For those with less time, consider skipping Thekkady altogether and exploring the tea and spice plantations around Bodinayakanur instead.
