Munnar & Thekkady Tour Package from Bangalore – 3 Days / 2 Nights

This itinerary covers Munnar and Thekkady in 3 days and 2 nights, with one overnight stay in Munnar and one in Thekkady. It is designed as a compact road trip for travellers who want to experience both destinations within a short break from Bangalore.

The planned itinerary covers Munnar's major sightseeing circuit including Eravikulam National Park, Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point, Kundala Lake and scenic tea-growing landscapes. In Thekkady, the trip focuses on the Periyar region, Periyar Lake, spice plantations and Kumily, with optional activities depending on time and availability.

This is a private road-trip itinerary. The planned route begins in Bangalore, continues to Munnar for the first overnight stay, then travels from Munnar to Thekkady for the second night before returning to Bangalore on Day 3.

Munnar is roughly 470–500 km from Bangalore depending on the route and your exact pickup point. Because this is a long hill journey, an early departure from Bangalore is recommended. Actual travel time varies with traffic, road conditions, weather and meal stops.

The road distance between Munnar and Thekkady is roughly 90–100 km depending on the route. The drive takes several hours because it passes through winding hill roads, plantations and settlements, so the journey time should not be estimated from distance alone.

The itinerary is planned with one night in Munnar and one night in Thekkady. Hotel accommodation, room category, breakfast and other hotel inclusions depend on the package selected and should be confirmed before booking.

Eravikulam National Park near Munnar protects a high-altitude landscape of grasslands and shola forests and is especially known as an important habitat of the endangered Nilgiri tahr. Visitor access is regulated and may be affected by seasonal closures, ticket availability and park rules.

Nilgiri tahr are one of the best-known wildlife attractions of Eravikulam National Park, but sightings are natural and cannot be guaranteed. Visitors must follow the designated tourism route and all instructions issued by park authorities.

No. The park can have seasonal closures and access restrictions, including periods connected with the Nilgiri tahr calving season. Opening dates and visitor regulations can change, so current park status should be reconfirmed before your travel date.

Mattupetty is known for its reservoir, surrounding hills and scenic landscape. It is part of one of Munnar's classic sightseeing routes and is naturally combined with Echo Point and Kundala Lake during the same excursion.

Echo Point is a scenic waterside stop surrounded by hills and greenery and is traditionally known for its natural echo effect. It lies along the popular sightseeing route connecting Mattupetty with Kundala.

Kundala offers a peaceful lake and dam setting surrounded by hills and greenery. It is located beyond Echo Point and works naturally as part of the Mattupetty–Echo Point–Kundala sightseeing circuit.

Yes. Tea-covered hills form an important part of the Munnar experience and can be seen throughout the sightseeing routes and scenic drives. Photo stops can be made where parking, road conditions and available time permit.

Thekkady is best known for the Periyar forest and lake landscape, wildlife experiences and the spice-growing region surrounding Kumily. The destination provides a very different experience from Munnar's tea-covered hills and mountain scenery.

Periyar Lake boating can be planned as an optional experience depending on ticket availability, operating schedules and the Day 3 return journey to Bangalore. Boating charges are included only when specifically mentioned in your confirmed package.

Wildlife may sometimes be seen around the lake and forest, but sightings cannot be guaranteed. Periyar is a natural wildlife habitat rather than a zoo, so what visitors see depends on animal movement, weather, season, time of day and other natural conditions.

A spice plantation visit introduces travellers to crops grown around the Thekkady region, which may include cardamom, pepper, cinnamon and other spices. The exact experience, duration, entry charge and guide arrangement depend on the plantation visited.

Yes. Kathakali and Kalaripayattu performances are popular optional evening experiences around Thekkady and Kumily. They can be considered when the Munnar-to-Thekkady arrival time and current show schedules allow. Tickets are not automatically included in the tour package.

Elephant-related visitor experiences are available through some operators around Thekkady, but they are not part of the core itinerary. If you are interested, discuss the available options before booking so the activity, timing, charges and current operating conditions can be checked.

Chellarkovil and Pandikuzhi can be considered when sufficient time is available in Thekkady, but they are not essential to the core 3-day itinerary. The priority is keeping enough time for the main Periyar and spice-country experiences and the long return journey to Bangalore.

Yes. Families can enjoy the combination of hill scenery, lakes, wildlife landscapes and plantation experiences. Parents should consider the long road journey, winding hill roads and sightseeing schedule when travelling with very young children.

Many senior travellers can take this trip, but it involves long road journeys, winding mountain roads and regular walking at sightseeing locations. Travellers with mobility or medical requirements should discuss them before booking so the pace and sightseeing plan can be considered accordingly.

The cooler months are generally comfortable for sightseeing in both destinations. Monsoon brings especially green landscapes but also heavier rain, mist, slippery surfaces and possible changes to attraction access. The best period ultimately depends on whether you prefer cooler weather, lush monsoon scenery or clearer conditions for outdoor sightseeing.

Carry comfortable walking shoes, a light jacket, rain protection when required, personal medicines, valid identification, drinking water, sunscreen, a power bank and essential belongings. Travellers prone to motion sickness should also carry their usual medication for the winding hill roads.

Meals are included only when specifically mentioned in your confirmed package. Depending on the accommodation selected, breakfast may be available as part of the hotel plan, while other meals and refreshments may be paid for directly during the journey.

Entry tickets, Eravikulam National Park charges, Periyar boating, spice plantation visits, cultural shows and other optional activities are included only when specifically listed in your confirmed package. The final inclusions and exclusions will be communicated before booking.

Vehicle selection depends on the number of travellers, luggage, comfort requirements and availability. A suitable private AC vehicle category will be suggested based on your group size and confirmed travel requirements.

Pickup points will be discussed and confirmed 2 days prior to the trip date. Final pickup details will be shared with travellers before departure.

The final price depends on the number of travellers, vehicle category, travel dates, accommodation selected and any additional activities or services requested. Share your preferred travel date and group size to receive a quotation based on your requirements.

Yes. Reasonable changes can be discussed based on your interests, available time and operational feasibility. Adding attractions or activities may require removing another stop or extending the trip because this is already a compact 3-day itinerary.

Weather, traffic, forest regulations, seasonal closures, ticket availability and local operating conditions can affect the planned schedule. When necessary, the order or duration of sightseeing may be adjusted while keeping the main Munnar and Thekkady itinerary as practical as possible.
