The next day, after breakfast, explore the Eravikulam National Park where you can see the well-known Nilagiri Thar. Later, proceed to Mattupetty & Kundala Dam where you can enjoy boating through the reservoir flanked by tea gardens on one side and boundless grasslands on the other. The Echo Point, famous for its echo phenomenon, is a popular stopping point for tourists, and you’ll also visit Shooting Point and the Tea Museum. Spend your second night in Munnar, basking in the splendor of this magical destination.
On day three, after breakfast, depart for Kumarakom. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and relax amidst the comfort of your room. Kumarakom is blessed with the Vembanad Lake, a majestic body of water with canals, streams, and distributaries weaving an intricate and delightfully beautiful network along its banks. The bird sanctuary located at the edge of the lands of an old estate is a significant attraction of Kumarakom, with an abundance of all sorts of birds including the Siberian stork that migrates to this area every year. Spend your third night in Kumarakom, experiencing the beauty of this serene location.
On your final day, after enjoying breakfast, pack your bags with a promise to re-visit this part of the world again. We will transfer you on time to Cochin Airport to board your flight home.
