After lunch, continue your drive to Munnar (approx. 2 hours), the misty hill town known for its sprawling tea gardens, cool climate, and serene landscapes.

By evening, visit Punarjani Traditional Village, a cultural hub that preserves Kerala’s rich art forms. Witness live performances of Kathakali (classical dance-drama) and Kalaripayattu (ancient martial arts) in an intimate setting that gives you an up-close cultural experience.
