Overview

Are you prepared for two days of tranquility? Give yourself the gift of stress-free “Me-time” and embark on a journey into happiness with our exhilarating Munnar Adventure that includes a Kollukkumalai Sunrise Trek! Zip-line your way to bliss and join us for this divine experience.

Please answer our questions:

Can Munnar bring you happiness?

Can watching a sunrise from a tea estate make you forget about your day-to-day stresses?

Can kayaking and zip-lining give meaning to your life?

Take a trip to discover the answers. I believe the people you choose to travel with can influence the responses to these questions. Choose wisely; choose Tripbae!

Munnar, situated in the Idukki district of the southwestern Indian state of Kerala, is both a town and a hill station. Positioned at an altitude of approximately 1,600 meters (5,200 feet) above mean sea level, Munnar is nestled within the Western Ghats mountain range. Often referred to as the “Kashmir of South India”,  it has earned popularity as a sought-after honeymoon destination

On Day 1, we’ll kick off the adventure with thrilling activities like zip-lining and kayaking. Following the excitement, we’ll visit Mirchi Waterfalls and conclude the day by enjoying the sunset at Phantom Hill Sunset Point.

On Day 2, we’ll start early by heading to the Kollukulamai Sunrise Point to witness the sunrise, followed by a visit to Jaguar View Point. Next on the itinerary is Signal View Point, offering panoramic views of the Munnar Valley. We’ll then explore the Chocolate Factory and take some time for shopping in Munnar City before heading back to Bengaluru.

We expect a certain level of cooperation from our fellow hikers. Your attentiveness to the basic requests from the Trek Lead is crucial for ensuring the safety of the entire group. At Tripbae, we do the best we can to benefit the group collectively.

Note: Please do not bring trolley bags for this trip; only backpacks are allowed. This rule applies specifically to the Munnar trip.
