Overview

This Munnar tea hills tour package is a private four-day trip, and every one of its three nights is spent in Munnar, Idukki district, Kerala. You visit the Eravikulam tahr park, a tea museum, Mattupetty and Top Station. It suits couples and slow travellers, with September to March the usual season.

Who it suits

Good to know

Eravikulam closure

Tahr calving shuts the park through February and March; Day 2 then turns to estate and waterfall visits

Hill roads

The climb from Kochi is winding, and the heaviest rain falls from June to August, which slows the drive

Layers

Munnar lies above 1,500 metres, so evenings are cool, and December and January are the coldest months
