Start your trip with a visit to the Pine Forest. Enjoy a pleasant walk along the shaded trails in the forest. Next, head over to the Vagamon Lake, a serene and peaceful place. You can go boating or just sit back and relax by the lake. The area also has several food stalls where you can indulge in local delicacies.
Visit the Kurisumala Ashram which is located on a hill. The serene atmosphere and the stunning view of the surroundings makes the uphill climb worth it. Next, head over to the Thangal Para, a pilgrimage center that has a mosque and a dargah. The scenic view around the place is breathtaking, and it is a perfect place for photography enthusiasts.
Begin your day by visiting the Vagamon Meadows which is a vast stretch of green meadows surrounded by misty hills. You can go for trekking or simply take a stroll and enjoy the scenic beauty of the place. Next, head over to the Mottakunnu, a hilltop from where you can see panoramic views of the valleys and hills. It is a perfect spot for sunset watching.
If you have an extra day, you can visit the Murugan Hill, a temple located on top of a hill and the Idukki Dam, one of the highest arch dams in Asia. If you have less time, you can skip the Kurisumala Ashram and spend more time at the Vagamon Meadows. Also, make sure to carry warm clothing as the temperature tends to drop in the evenings.
