Start your first day in Munnar at Eravikulam National Park. This is a must-visit destination in Munnar, especially during the months of September to November when the Neelakurinji flowers bloom. Witness the sight of lush green landscapes and mountain ranges, the park is also home to the rare and endangered Nilgiri Tahr. The park offers an array of options, from trekking to photography. Make sure to wear sturdy walking shoes and carry a raincoat, as the weather can be unpredictable.
On your second day, start by learning about the history and evolution of the tea industry in Munnar at the Tea Museum. Witness the step-by-step process of tea-making, and get to taste the various blends of freshly brewed tea. Moving forward, head to the Mattupetty Dam, a popular picnic spot which offers a breathtaking view of the valleys of Munnar. The dam is surrounded by lush greenery and stunning views of hills. Opt for a boat ride in the dam to witness the natural beauty of Munnar from a different angle.
If you have an extra day, you can also visit the Top Station, which is famous for its scenic views of the Western Ghats. You can also adventure with rock climbing and rappelling at the Lockhart Gap. But if you have only a day to visit Munnar, try to plan your itinerary efficiently so that you can easily navigate between the places of interest. Always carry a water bottle and an extra layer of clothing, as the climate can be unpredictable. Start your day early in the morning for a hassle-free experience.
