Start your day early with a visit to the Eravikulam National Park, situated in the Western Ghats. The park is home to several endangered species such as the Nilgiri Tahr, and is a great place for nature enthusiasts and bird watchers. You can volunteer with the park's conservation efforts and take part in activities such as habitat restoration and wildlife monitoring.
After volunteering at the national park, head to the Kundala Dam Lake, a picturesque spot surrounded by rolling hills covered in lush green tea plantations. You can volunteer with local environmental groups and participate in activities such as clean-up drives and tree planting. Take a peaceful boat ride on the lake and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
On day 2, visit the Mattupetty Dam, built to harness the power of the nearby river for electricity generation. You can volunteer with local NGOs to help improve the local community's access to clean water, while also enjoying the natural beauty of the dam and its surroundings.
Wrap up your trip with a visit to the Tata Tea Museum, where you can learn about the history of the tea industry in Munnar and participate in activities such as tea tasting and processing. You can also volunteer with the museum's educational efforts, teaching local children about the importance of sustainability and environmental conservation.
If you have more time, consider visiting other natural attractions such as the Anamudi peak or the Top Station viewpoint. Alternatively, if you have less time, skip the Tea Museum and spend more time volunteering at the national park or the dams.
