As Keralites, we often overlook the beauty of our own state. So, for our first post-wedding trip, we decided to explore Kerala itself. While planning, we stumbled upon Iris Holidays, and we couldn't have been happier with the choice. Kannan from their team crafted a wonderful 3-day itinerary for Munnar, making sure we made the most of our short stay.
Our driver, Mr. Anson, was truly exceptional—friendly, reliable, and always willing to go the extra mile. His knowledge of the area was impressive; he even found alternative options for us whenever something on the itinerary wasn’t feasible. With Anson, we felt completely safe and well-guided.
The highlights of our trip included a scenic ride through tea estates, visits to beautiful waterfalls, and a fascinating spice garden tour, where we learned about Kerala’s rich spices. We also watched an electrifying Kalaripayattu show and visited popular spots like Mattupetty Dam, Kundala Dam, Gap Road, Echo Point, and even tried some adventurous activities like an elephant safari and zip lining.
Our stay at Aranyaka was delightful—the views from the hotel were breathtaking, adding an extra layer of charm to our experience.
Overall, we had a fantastic time. The beauty of Kerala is something that can't be captured in photos alone; it's something you have to experience firsthand.
