For those with less time, consider skipping the Mattupetty Dam and Kundala Lake Boating. Be sure to carry warm clothes in case it gets cold in the evenings as Munnar is situated on a hill station. Make sure you bring mosquito repellent as well, given the high altitude climate they are common here. If you prefer to hire a local guide for any of your trips, you can find them at a reasonable price at the entrance of the National Park and Tea Museums.
