Day 1 in Munnar
Kick off your Munnar trip with its most famous sights—rolling tea gardens, misty hills, and a visit to Kerala’s highest peak. Start early to soak in the cool mountain air and avoid the afternoon crowds.
Activities
Tea Gardens & Eravikulam National Park
Begin your morning at the Tata Tea Museum to learn about Munnar’s tea legacy, then head straight to the endless green carpets of the Kolukkumalai Tea Estate—one of the highest organic tea plantations in the world. Post-lunch, visit Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr. The park’s rolling grasslands and Anamudi Peak (Kerala’s highest) offer breathtaking views.
- Carry a light jacket—it gets windy at Kolukkumalai.

Mattupetty Dam & Echo Point
Wind down with a scenic boat ride at Mattupetty Dam, surrounded by lush hills. The calm waters reflect the sky perfectly. A short drive away, stop at Echo Point—shout into the valley and wait for nature to reply. It’s touristy but fun, especially in the late afternoon light.
