2 Days in Munnar for Nature Trip
Munnar is like a green dream with its endless tea gardens, misty hills, and cool mountain air. I've lost count of how many times I've visited, but each time feels like the first. The way the sunlight filters through the tea bushes in the morning or the sound of waterfalls hidden in the forests never gets old. This itinerary packs in the best of Munnar's natural beauty without rushing you.

Explore the wild side of Munnar with visits to lush forests and spice plantations, topped off with a taste of local flavors.
Activities
Eravikulam National Park
Start your day with a visit to this stunning national park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr. The rolling grasslands and shola forests are breathtaking, especially if you catch the blooming of the Neelakurinji flowers (which happens once every 12 years). The park has well-marked trails, and you might spot elephants, leopards, or even a tiger if you're lucky.

- Wear sturdy shoes as the terrain can be uneven
Spice Plantation Walk
Head to a local spice plantation to see how cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, and other spices are grown. The fragrant air and lush greenery make this a sensory delight. Many plantations offer guided tours where you can learn about the cultivation process and even buy fresh spices to take home.
- Ask for a small tasting session of the spices
- Wear light clothing as it can get humid
Top Station Sunset
End your day at Top Station, the highest point in Munnar, for panoramic views of the Western Ghats. The sunset here is spectacular, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink over the rolling hills. It's a bit of a drive, but the views are worth it.
- Bring a jacket—it can get chilly at this altitude
- Stop at the small stalls for fresh coconut water
