A visit to Munnar is incomplete without experiencing its lush tea plantations. Start your day with a tour of Kolukkumalai Tea Estate, the world's highest tea plantation, located at an altitude of 8000 feet. Watch the sunrise over the mountains and learn about the tea-making process. Next, head to Lockhart Tea Factory to see how tea leaves are processed and dried. End your day with a visit to the Tea Museum, showcasing the history of tea cultivation in Munnar.
Begin your day with an early morning Jeep Safari at the Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr. Spot other wildlife such as the Sambar Deer and Giant Malabar Squirrel. After, head to Lakkam Waterfalls, located in a scenic forested area. Take a dip in the refreshing rock pools or just sit back and relax surrounded by nature. In the afternoon, visit the Attukad Waterfalls, known for its picturesque views and mix of serene and roaring cascades.
If you have additional time, consider adding a visit to the Top Station to experience stunning panoramic views of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Another option is to try camping under the stars at one of the nearby campsites.
If you have less time, you can skip the Lockhart Tea Factory and Tea Museum or choose to visit only one of the waterfalls.
