The open tourist zone in the park is known as Rajamalai.

If you are planning to be here, make sure that the days in February and March of the year are not chosen as the park remains closed to visitors during this period. Let me let you know beforehand that due to rush and long queues, the tour to this place will take up half of your day as an online ticketing facility is not available here. So it will take up half of your day to include this position in your 1 day itinerary to Munnar.

Chinnakanal Tea Plantation, Kerala 's Best Plantation : If you've already heard about the tea plantation of Darjeeling, then hold your breath to hear from me about another mesmerising tea plantation in India, the tea plantation of Chinnakanal. With one of the finest teas in the world, the place is blessed. This location is something not to be missed while Munnar is backpacking! You can drive 21 km from Munnar to get to this crystal clear spot.

When you are here, you can go on a jeep ride and navigate around the bushes of tea. The bumpy ride in the field, the smell of the tea, the freshness of the air and the picturesque surroundings will forever leave an ineradicable image in your hearts.

Elephants seen wandering about can be heard to make the view more interesting.

For years, Mattupetty has been the location of choice for tourists eager to spend some fabulous time with loved ones. The lake here provides them with some of the best holiday time to relax. The lake and the dam are only a few miles away and are the tourist attraction's key points. The lake offers a serene view of the surrounding mighty hills, surrounded by endless woods, shoal forest and tea plantation acres.There are different things to do here, besides soaking yourself in the tranquilly of nature. As you indulge in water sports activities such as speed boating, pedal boating, motor boating or row boating, time slips here like sand. For adventure lovers, the Shoal Forest offers excellent trekking trails. For those who love harmony, it is possible to sit on the shore and drink in the placid atmosphere here.

There is also an important thing left to see here, apart from so many activities: the cattle farm. You have to be amazed to know that Mattupetty is considered to be a 'cattle village,' as the place is famous for its Indo-Swiss farming project or the Livestock project. This dedicated cattle farm is just 3 km from the Mattupetty Dam, where one can see thousands of high-yielding cattle of various varieties grazing freely around the farm.For the visitor, the place is always in a friendly form, but I would suggest visiting to extract the maximum from this place in the months between August and May.
