Mattupetty Dam

Have a picnic by Mattupetty Dam, nestled in the rolling green hills and tea plantations of Munnar. Relish the fresh air and picturesque natural scenery as you take a boat ride on the reservoir’s placid waters, and view the dam, a vital source of revenue for the region. Explore the surrounding grasslands and forests, crossed by many streams and housing a variety of bird species. If you're lucky, you might spot an elephant nearby, as the majestic beasts often visit the dam area for a drink. 

Munnar

Sitting at the point where three mountain rivers meet, the hill station of Munnar has become known as a tea-growing center in the south of the country. Once a popular summer getaway for well-off British government officials, Munnar owes much of its history and architecture to the time of the Raj, while its present day reputation rests largely on the plantations that roll across the landscape of scenic hills and valleys. The town lies in close proximity to a national park; rich in wildlife, including gaur, langur, and elephants, the park represents one of the main attractions in Munnar. 

Thekkady

Centered on an artificial lake, Thekkady provides a sanctuary to a diverse set of animals and plant species. Dense forests and savanna grasslands spread out across a vast protected area and offer a safe habitat for herds of wild elephants, sambar, bison, deer, and tigers, viewable on hikes and boat and jeep safaris. The list of plants and spices cultivated here remains extensive, and trips to see tea, coffee, vanilla, cardamom, and pepper plantations highlight most holidays in Thekkady.
