Start your day by visiting the serene Kalvari Mount. The mount has a small quaint church that is often used for worship. The panoramic view of the hills from the mountain top is breathtaking and a perfect way to kickstart your day.
Next on the list is Nadukani, a hill station that is situated in the Western Ghats. The scenic beauty of the place is beyond words, making it the perfect location for trekking and a peaceful retreat into nature.
Head to Nature Treat Restaurant for lunch and relish the taste of authentic Kerala food amidst the serene beauty of nature. The restaurant is famous for its fish delicacies, but make sure to leave room for some delicious payasam!
Visit the Elephant Junction and get up close with elephants. You can take a ride on an elephant, learn about their lifestyle and their importance in Kerala culture. You can also feed and bathe them if you like!
End your day at the Hill View Park and enjoy the sunset. The park has well-maintained gardens and a spectacular view of the valley below. You can also see the hills of Tamil Nadu in the distance.
If you have more time, add a visit to the Idukki Dam and the Keezharkuthu Falls. If you have less time, consider skipping the Elephant Junction. Make sure to carry sunscreen, hats and comfortable walking shoes.
