Recommendations

If you have extra time, visit the Idukki Wildlife Sanctuary, the Elephant Arrival Spot, or the Anayirangal Dam. A trip to Munnar is incomplete without tasting the local cuisine, especially the appams with stew and puttu with kadala curry. Try to catch a glimpse of the Neelakurinji flower that blooms once every 12 years (next bloom in 2030). Hire a private tour guide to maximize your experience and avoid crowd.
