Idukki is Kerala’s highland district. These are the experiences we recommend first.
Idukki is a district in the Western Ghats known for tea and spice plantations, forests, dams and waterfalls. It is cooler than the coast and best explored with a local driver who knows the roads.
Take a jeep through tea country, stop at Lakshmi Hills, Kottapara view point and a spice garden, and watch the sunset. See Munnar tour packages.
A jungle jeep safari, the 33 Waterfalls, a hanging bridge and a river crossing. See Mankulam tour packages.
Ride an off-road jeep trail, trek in the evening and wake for sunrise above the clouds. See the Kolukkumalai trekking package.
Wild elephants sometimes gather to drink here. Sightings depend on the day and cannot be promised, so watch quietly from a distance.
Reservoirs such as Mattupetty Dam are calm places to stop between hills.
Idukki also has other well-known places, such as Thekkady, Vagamon and the Idukki Arch Dam. They are not part of our standard packages, but we can customise a trip, so ask us.
Packages start at ₹1,999 per person. Compare everything on our Idukki tour packages page.
September to May is comfortable for most people. June to August is monsoon with heavy rain. See our best time guide.
Two days covers Munnar and Mankulam well. Add a night for Kolukkumalai’s sunrise.
