Useful tips

If you have more time, you can also visit other nearby attractions such as the Eravikulam National Park, the Top Station or the Pothamedu Viewpoint. For those with less time, we recommend skipping the Mattupetty Dam and Echo Point and visiting only the tea museum and estate for a more relaxed and immersive experience. Additionally, it's always a good idea to carry an extra layer of clothing as the weather can be unpredictable up in the mountains.
