The 4.5 hour ride takes you to the Kodanad elephant care centre where you stop and admire the way elephants are pampered and trained. Then you travel some distance to the Cheyyara Waterfalls followed by the Attukad waterfalls. As you go along you come upon a plantation where you take a short break and then finally arrive at Munnar, the seductive hill resort with its gently undulating curves swathed in green. Check into your room and then set out to explore the neighborhood.

It is pleasantly cool at a height of 1600 metres and you will enjoy the breakfast as you drink in the scene of surrounding slopes covered with tea plantations. Though there is plenty to see and do in and around Munnar, today’s sightseeing will take you to the Eravikulam National Park, a place of charming natural beauty.
