Day 2: Thekkady – Idukki – Munnar (Night Stay: Munnar)
Time Activity Travel Notes
Morning Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary Activity. Early morning boat ride. Note: Pre-booking 53 tickets is essential. Travel to the jetty will be by the main Thenicalltaxi bus or a short local transfer, depending on parking accessibility.

Afternoon Idukki Dam View & Photo Stop. Stop at a large, bus-accessible viewpoint. The Thenicalltaxi coach provides a comfortable viewing platform during the journey. Short photo stop.

Day 3: Munnar – Vagamon (Night Stay: Vagamon)
Time Activity Travel Notes
Morning Munnar Sightseeing (Restricted). The Thenicalltaxi coach will struggle with internal Munnar roads. Transfer to multiple smaller local buses/Tempo Travellers is highly recommended for key spots like Eravikulam, Echo Point, etc., to save time and ensure safety. Local travel will be complicated; plan for time delays.
Late Morning Eravikulam National Park (Rajamalai). The bus will drop the group at the entrance. Travel inside is by park buses only. Strict adherence to park rules and group entry times is mandatory.
Afternoon Drive to Vagamon. Check out and begin the journey to Vagamon. Approx. 4 - 4.5 hours drive from Munnar to Vagamon.
Evening Vagamon Meadows (Mottakunnu) & Pine Forest. Check into your resort. The Thenicalltaxi bus can access Vagamon town but parking and tight turns will limit access to smaller local attractions. Overnight stay in Vagamon.
Night Enjoy a well-deserved rest. The long-haul comfort of the Thenicalltaxi bus is the key asset on this trip. Dinner (Optional).
