Trek up to the temple through the lush forests and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. After the temple visit, head to the Dam and Lake Avalanche for some kayaking and boating amidst stunning natural sceneries.
Take on an adventurous Meesapulimala Trek to witness the beautiful sunrise from the top of the Western Ghats. Explore the rolling hills, lush forests and catch a glimpse of exotic flora and fauna while trekking. After that, visit the famous Kolukkumalai Tea Plantation, the highest tea plantation in the world. Learn about the tea-making process and sample some of the finest tea flavors while enjoying panoramic views of the countryside.
Challenge yourself with the trek to the Anamudi Peak, the highest peak in South India. The trail passes through dense forests, rolling hills and gorgeous streams. Marvel at the panoramic views of the surrounding hills as you reach the summit and take a moment to reflect on your unforgettable adventure. Later, visit the beautiful Cheeyappara Waterfalls for a refreshing swim and some leisurely time amidst nature.
If you have more time, you can add the Eravikulam National Park and the Top Station to your itinerary for breathtaking views and wildlife spotting. If time is a constraint, skip the Cheeyappara Waterfall visit. It is important to note that the trekking trails remain closed during monsoons, so plan your adventure accordingly. Carry comfortable clothing and footwear, sunscreen and a hat. Book your tour packages in advance and check for opening/closing time of each site to avoid any last-minute confusion.
