Your next stop will be at Thangal Para, a sacred Muslim monument. It is believed that Sheikh Fariduddin lived here around the 18th century. People of all religions visit the shrine, which is surrounded by hills and valleys. A unique feature of the shrine is that it has a natural pond that never dries up. After spending some time exploring the place, proceed to your final stop for the day.
Spend your evening at the Vagamon Meadows, an expansive stretch of green hills. Its beautiful scenery, cool breeze, and peaceful environment make it the perfect place for a picnic. There are a variety of mountain flowers and butterflies that can be spotted here. You can also indulge in some paragliding if adventure is on your itinerary.
Head out early for a drive to Mundakayam Ghat, which is best experienced in the morning hours. This ghat road provides fantastic views of verdant grasslands and steep slopes. Take a moment to stop and appreciate the view, breathe in the fresh air, and listen to the birds chirping.
Next, we recommend visiting the beautiful St. Mary's Church that has some very lovely gardens. The tranquil environment of the church, surrounded by the mountains, makes it an ideal place for quiet contemplation.

The hilltop is home to a monastery where prayers are held multiple times a day. The hike up the hill is an adventure, but once you reach the top, the views are breathtaking, providing a sense of peace and tranquillity.
Finish your trip with a visit to the local Tea Estate. Take a guided tour that will provide an insight into the tea plantation's history, production, and unique cultivation methods.

If you have more time, we suggest visiting the Vagamon Lake, Orchid Garden, and Butterfly Park. The Itinerary can be customized depending on the specific preference of the visitors. For those with less time, it is recommended to drop the visit to the Tea Estate and spend more time at other locations. Make sure to carry comfortable clothing and hiking shoes for the outdoor adventures. Also, carry plenty of water, insect repellent lotion, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun.
