In the evening, witness a short Kathakali or Kalaripayattu demonstration (time permitting).

Full day exploring Munnar attractions. Visit the Eravikulam National Park (home of the endangered Nilgiri Tahr) — booking subject to park timing and season. Continue to the Tea Museum, Mattupetty Dam (boat ride optional), Echo Point, and Top Station for panoramic views.

Family-friendly options: short nature walks and a gentle boat ride at Mattupetty make it easy for children and elders to enjoy.

After breakfast, depart for Thekkady (approx. 3–4 hours). En route, stop at a spice plantation to see and sample native spices — a fun, informative experience for families. Arrive at your hotel near Periyar and relax. Optional evening: attend a cultural performance showcasing Kalaripayattu or local art forms.
