Itinerary
Nayamakad Waterfall in Munnar was a captivating escape into nature's embrace. The winding roads through the tea plantations added a touch of adventure to the trip. As I approached the waterfall, the sound of cascading water grew louder, and the mist in the air hinted at the marvel awaiting me.
Located in the Idukki district of Kerala, and quite close to the rather popular hill station of Munnar, Rajamala Hills is a wonderful escape from the humdrum city life. Without the typically crowded feeling of a hill town, this often overlooked piece of heaven is the perfect getaway you can wish for. Wildlife enthusiasts can look forward to the rare Nilgiri Tahr which is a type of mountain goat. Also worth a visit is the Rajamala Wildlife Sanctuary which is a portion of the much larger Eravikulam National Park which is 97 square kilometres in area.
Also known as Lakkom Falls, Munnar’s Lakkam Waterfalls are located 7,300 feet above the sea level. An interesting feature about this waterfall is that it starts from a plateau and not a hill, which is the case with most other falls. Originating from the Eravikulam Plateau, Lakkam Waterfalls collect into a pool. Ensconced in a green surrounding, Lakkam Waterfalls are enclosed by a dense collection of Vaga trees and boulders which one needs to climb to get very close to the falls. Taking pictures apart, the falls are famous for boulder hiking and even bathing in the pool.

I enjoyed the tour vey much! I took the tour on my own, and the driver/guide adjusted to my pace and needs. I learned a lot about the region, its culture, people, nature, animals. Thank you for this memorable experience.
I really recommend the Sandal Wood & Sightseeing Tour, it's a great one day adventure. We were picked up from our hotel by Mani Muthu and he has been a fantastic guide and driver! He made it very clear on what the plan is and accommodate to our requests and needs! We enjoyed Eravikulam (get there early to avoid the queues) and all the stops along the way! We decided to hike in Chinnar (really good) and Mani Muthu made sure that we get there with time to spare! I highly recommend :)
The tour is a great balance between sightseeing from a jeep and exploring on our own. Mani Muthu has been extremely friendly and welcoming our requests. We have also seen some deers! If you want to explore both the national park and the wildlife sanctuary and see from the jeep a breath taking valley, this tour is 100% recommended.
An epic adventure awaits we saw deers, elephants and wild bison as well ! The Jeep Safari was an action-packed ride through stunning landscapes. Our guide was nagu he is fantastic, and the vehicle was good look and safe. Don't miss this thrilling experience
