Start your adventure by visiting Eravikulam National Park, home to an array of unique flora and fauna. The park is famous for its endangered Nilgiri Tahr, a type of mountain goat. Trek to the top of Anamudi Peak, located within the park, for a stunning view of the surrounding hills and valleys. Be sure to bring your camera and binoculars to capture the breathtaking scenery and wildlife.
Visit Top Station, a high-altitude viewpoint that offers panoramic views of the Western Ghats. The drive to Top Station is scenic and passes through tea plantations and misty valleys. At Kundala Lake, rent a pedal boat or go for a leisurely walk around the lake. The lake is surrounded by lush green hills and is a popular picnic spot.
Get ready for a challenging trek to Meesapulimala Peak, the second highest peak in the Western Ghats. The trek takes you through grasslands, shola forests, and rugged terrain. From the peak, you can see the sunrise, and on a clear day, the Arabian Sea. Afterward, visit the Kolukkumalai Tea Estate, the highest tea plantation in the world. Learn the art of tea-making, watch the tea-pickers in action, and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed tea.
Consider visiting the Mattupetty Dam and Echo Point on Day 2, which are nearby Top Station and Kundala Lake. To maximize your fun, hire a local guide for the treks who can provide insight into the local flora and fauna.
