Ramakkalmedu

Ramakkalmedu is a hill station located about 15 Km from Nedumkandom. The main tourism importance of this place is the presence of excellent wind from TamilNadu. Rolling green hills and the fresh mountain air make Ramakalmedu an enchanting retreat. The hills top also offers a panoramic view of picturesque villages of Bodi and Cumbum on the Eastern slop of the western ghats.

Chathurangapara View Point

Reviewed By 1abhijitl - Pune, India

First experience of touching the base of a windmill and hearing the sound of the turbine mounted on a hill top. The drive is nearly upto the top and then one needs to walk a 30deg climb for say 200m and then we see Tamil Nadu villages deep down below and also some other windmill turbines far away in then plane. Western Ghats separate the two states in fact the windmill is on Tamil Nadu land instead of Kerala. Good Photo shoot , picnic and fresh air view and any hill top is a always full of wind, so enjoy nature Ima green environment surrounded by hills , windmills and deep down planes. I am sure there are trekking routes here but did not attempt

Top Station

Reviewed By Varadharajanm5 - Bengaluru, India

Top Station is a highest point near Munnar. This place is the last sight seeing in this route....Mattupetty dam, Echo Point, Kundala Lake and then Top Station. From the parking area you need to walk long to reach to the main entrance of the top station view area. Top station view point is actually a highest point where both kerala and tamilnadu border meets. Both the forest zone highest point meet in this place. You need to get the entrance ticket. You can visualize good photographic locations and natural scenic beauty until you reach the ticket counter. From the ticket counter entrance you need to walk down approximately 100 to 150 steps to reach another thrilling and exciting view point. That is the actual place where you can have 360 degree view of the valley. But it will be breathe taking exercise to reach that place. Definitely not to try for old age people. If you have having heart problems and breathing issues do not try to walk down. Because getting to top is much difficult, it is very steep while climbing back. There are also no proper fencing or hand grip / side rails provided to hold and climb the steps. Otherwise this is one of the place you should never miss and have some natural scenic photo shoots. Be alert while taking selfie also.

Lock Heart Gap

Reviewed By murugavelp2017 - Chennai District, India

As others rightly pointed out its a nice view /drive through a road with tea gardens all around. One caution ,don't depend on Google map from munnar to this location as it's totally incorrect and we were struck in very narrow road with lot of potholes with no space to even turn back . With much difficulty,we turned back . Just set destination as thekkady or devikulam and you will reach this place easily.
