Introduction

Anayirangal is a popular picnic destination with a reservoir and dam, about 22 kilometers (14 miles) from Munnar. It is a place of exquisite beauty complete with tea gardens and evergreen forests surrounded by stark hills. Capture in your lens the lush green carpet of tea plants from different perspectives. Take in a panoramic view of the serene waters of the reservoir ensconced amidst dense Tata Tea estates, and the low hanging clouds. You might even spot a herd of elephants by the water’s edge. Make sure you maintain safe distance and not disturb the animals in their natural habitat. Photographic opportunities galore and around every bend you are rewarded with a breathtaking view. This place is ideally visited along with Munnar.
