The park spreads across the Southern Western Ghats mountains with its name in the local vernacular meaning ‘streams and pools’. The predominant feature of the physical geography of the park is comprised of a central rolling plateau and ‘Anaimudi’ the highest peak in South India.

Situated in a tea plantation, the Tea Museum showcases photographs and machinery used in the production of tea from the colonial era when the tea plantations were first established in the hills around Munnar. The historical exhibits showcase the transition of production with rudimentary tea rollers to the machinery used in an automated tea factory today. 

A trip to Pothanmedu is worth the views that nature lovers would cherish, spectacular sunrises and sunsets framing the Munthirapuzha River, a perpetual breeze that threaten to blow one off the peak, speculative birds in the sky, tea, coffee and cardamom plantations all awaiting a benign light to paint its magic.

The waterfall is created after a stream travels on an elongated journey that traverses numerous slopes, dense stretches of vegetation, drops from enormous heights, eventually becoming visible, a vision of beauty displaying itself to visitors, the cogent power of nature’s beauty and power. Simply spectacular, worth a visit.

Situated about 10 km from Munnar town, languorous vistas and a sprightly waterfall first greet vsitors to Nyayamkad. Some seek delight in a swirling pool created beneath the 1500m waterfall, others, avid anglers could spend a day at ‘Gravel Banks’, a spot downstream, where schools of Trout pass through. 

A scenic picnic spot located 8 kilometres away from Munnar with rolling grassland slopes and vast range of exotic flora and fauna make it favourite spot for tourists. Visitors also visit the Sita Devi lake. Nearby at different times through the year.Streams flowing past the area are also perfect for trout fishing.
