Useful Tips

If you have an extra day in your itinerary, you might be interested in exploring the Kundala Dam Lake or indulge in a spa day at any of the resorts in and around Munnar. On the other hand, if you have less than two days, it might be better to stick to exploring the Kolukumalai Tea Estate only. Ensure that you carry warm clothes, comfortable walking shoes, and a camera for photographs. Plan to start your activities as early as possible to avoid crowds and to bask in the natural beauty at most of the destinations.
