Start your cultural immersion by visiting the Munnar Tea Museum to learn about the tea industry's history in Munnar. Next, explore Mattupetty Dam, an awe-inspiring feat of engineering surrounded by stunning natural beauty. End your day with a visit to Kundala Dam, known for its picturesque views.
On day two, take an early morning drive to Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr. After a guided trek, make your way to Top Station, known for its panoramic views of the valley below. End your day at the Marayoor Sandalwood Forests, one of the only places in the world where sandalwood trees grow naturally.
Begin your day by visiting a local spice plantation to learn about the herbs and spices commonly used in Munnar cuisine. Next, take a cultural tour of the Mudra Cultural Centre, which showcases traditional dance forms and art. Finally, end your day at the Attukad Waterfalls, a gorgeous and peaceful spot that's perfect for an evening picnic.
If you have more time, consider hiking in the Chokramudi Peak or camping at Periyakanal Waterfall. For a more relaxed itinerary, you could remove one of the dam visits on day one. Another option is to skip the spice plantation visit on day three if you're not interested in learning about Munnar cuisine.
