Eravikulam National Park is a must-visit destination for nature lovers in Munnar. The park is home to the endangered species of Nilgiri Tahr and a variety of flora and fauna. It opens at 8:30 am, so we will start early to avoid the crowd. In the morning, we will explore the Rajamalai region of the park, which is the natural habitat of Nilgiri Tahr. Afternoon will be spent exploring the Anamudi Peak, which is the highest peak in South India. In the evening, we will head to the Tea Museum, which is just a 20-minute drive from the park.
Top Station and Echo Point are two of the most beautiful destinations in Munnar. We will start early in the morning to reach Top Station by 9:00 am, which offers a panoramic view of the Western Ghats. After spending a few hours at Top Station, we will head to the Echo Point, which is just a 20-minute drive from there. Echo Point is known for its natural echo phenomenon that reverberates through the hills. In the evening, we will return to Munnar town and explore the local markets for some souvenir shopping.
Munnar also offers trekking and camping activities for adventure lovers. Kolukkumalai Tea Estate, Mattupetty Dam, and Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary are also worth visiting if you have more time. You can also plan a side trip to Thekkady, which is just a 3-hour drive from Munnar, to explore Periyar National Park and take a boat ride on Periyar Lake.
