The next day, the climate was too good and it was cloudy, we started to Eravaikulam National Park. This park is administered by Kerala Department of Forest & Wildlife. Private vehicles are prohibited, so everyone has to go by the government vehicles. We waited in the queue for 2 Hrs for our turn to come. Indeed the wait was fruitful and we started trekking around to have the wonderful view of the park.

Suddenly, it started drizzling and the place was fully covered with Mist and fog as usual.

Our day was well spent with the scenic beauty of Eravikulam. After that we visited the famous Kanan Devan tea museum. They played a small video of Munnar history and how tea plantations originated. After that they showed how tea powder is prepared from the leaves extracted.

The last day we traveled from Munnar to Kochi. It took 2 Hrs and we visited one the largest mall in India, LuLu Mall. The mall infrastructure and the interior decoration was speechless. The last hop of our trip was Kochi harbour
