Mattupetty Dam

Mattupetty Gravity Dam is a famous destination to visit in Munnar. Water is clean and deep blue in color. Dam is surrounded by lush green dense forest. Main activity you can indulge in is boating and sight-seeing.

This place is getting increasingly commercialized, but the infrastructure is still in its developing state. A visit to Mattupetty dam has to be well planned in advance owing to the usual traffic jam that one would face in the last 3 to 4 kilometers. Summer holidays see the heavy rush, otherwise, it is a very calm and peaceful place to enjoy some quality leisure time.

Anamudi

Anamudi at an elevation of 2695 meters above sea level is the highest peak in the Western Ghats and South India. The name Anamudi, when translated to local language Malayalam, means “elephant’s forehead”. The mountain itself resembles the shape of an elephant’s forehead.

The entry point is within the confinement of Eravikulam National Park from where you can climb toward the peak. But unfortunately, it is not allowed to climb until the highest point of the peak due to security reasons. Authorities offer transport in their vehicle to some distance where the drivable section of the road ends. From there it’s an absolute delight for people who enjoy trekking. Tickets can be booked online. It is strongly suggested to book it at least two days before to avoid waiting in the queue. There is no need to take any permission from Forest Department.
