Useful Tips

For nature lovers and photographers, we recommend adding a visit to the mysterious Lockhart Gap, located about an hour's drive away from Munar. If you have more time, you can also visit the Anamudi Peak, the tallest peak in South India, which will take approximately 5 hours to visit.

If you have less time, you can skip the Pothamedu viewpoint and Blossom Park, but you can consider adding a drive towards the idyllic Marayoor Sandalwood Forests nearbyMunnar town center.
