Useful Tips

If you have another day, you can visit the Anayirankal Dam, Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary, or the scenic Devikulam Lake. You can replace any of these locations instead of Echo Point, which is a moderate hike. The Tea Museum can also be replaced with a visit to Bison valley. We suggest you keep at least a day as a buffer because the climate of Munnar does not cooperate all the time and it often rains, which could affect your plans.
