Start your trip with a visit to the Aliyar Dam which is surrounded by lush greenery and offers many recreational activities. After that, head to Arulmigu Masani Amman Temple - an ancient Hindu temple located on the banks of a scenic lake. End the day by visiting the Topslip Tiger Forest which offers a unique and exciting experience of wildlife spotting.
Start early and take a drive to Nallamudi Viewpoint which offers breathtaking views of tea plantations and mountains. After that, head to Sholayar Dam which is the second-highest masonry dam in Asia. Take a break and enjoy a cup of locally grown tea and snacks at a tea estate. End the day with a drive through the popular tourist town of Valparai, where you can view the beautiful architecture of British bungalows.
Begin your day by exploring the Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary, which offers a wide range of fauna and flora. Take a relaxing boat safari in the afternoon on the Parambikulam reservoir, and spot langurs, crocodiles, and otters. After that, visit the famous Annaimalai Tiger Reserve which is renowned for its lush green tropical forests and tiger conservation initiatives.
If you have more time, add a visit to the Marudhamalai Hill Temple, which is an ancient temple situated on a hilltop and offers an amazing mountain view. Alternatively, if you have less time, skip the boat safari and spend more time at Annamalai Tiger Reserve. It is best to visit Parabikulam and Annamalai during the winter season (November to February), as it is the best time to spot wildlife.
