Start your trip with a visit to one of the many Tea Estates in Munnar. Get a chance to witness the tea-making process from the very beginning - from the tea plants to the final product. Some of the most famous tea estates to visit include the Tata Tea Museum, Lockhart Tea Factory, and the Kolukkumalai Tea Estate which is known for being the world's highest tea estate. Learn about the history of tea plantations in the region and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Spend your second day hiking at the Eravikulam National Park, home to a variety of flora and fauna. Some of the animals you might spot include the Nilgiri Tahr, Indian Muntjac, and Indian Porcupine. Hike up to the peak of Anamudi, the highest peak in South India, or take a guided walking tour through the park's trails. The park is also known for its beautiful rolling hills and breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
If you have more time, consider visiting other attractions in Munnar such as the Mattupetty Dam, the Top Station, or the Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary. If you have less time, you can still visit the tea estates or take a shorter hike at Eravikulam National Park. Make sure to bring comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent.
