Begin the day by exploring the charming hill station of Munnar. Visit the Tea Museum, which exhibits the evolution of tea plants and the varied mechanisms used to process tea. Next, visit the Kanan Devan Tea Plantations, which offer stunning views of the green hills. Enjoy a cup of tea while walking through the plantation, and get a chance to see the tea-making process. Head to the Mattupetty Dam, which offers splendid views of the hills, and take a boat ride on the dam's lake. End the day by experiencing the natural beauty of Echo Point, which is a serene location surrounded by hills and a lake. It’s called Echo Point because of the way the mountains reverberate sounds.
Start the day by relishing the view of the Sabarimala hills from Green Mount Cottage. Next, drive to the Kanthalloor Falls, which takes a short trip, and it’s worth it to see the stunning view of the seven-step waterfall. Next, visit the Marayoor Sandalwood Forests, a protected forest area where Sandalwood trees grow naturally, and you also learn how sandalwood oil is made. Don't miss visiting the Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary, which has an incredible variety of flora and fauna. Don't miss the Thoovanam waterfalls, a 1-1.5 km trek up through the Karian Shola National Park.
For more leisurely trip, spend another day in Munnar, there are many other places to check out here such as Eravikulam National Park, and Anamudi Peak. On the other hand, if you only have one day in Kanthaloor, prioritize visiting Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary and don't hesitate to take a guide. Finally, May-June are the best months to visit here when the landscape is blooming, but carry warm clothes as it can get chilly in the early mornings and evenings.
