The Letchmi Hill Trek is one of Munnar’s most rewarding trails, unfolding at about 1,420 metres above sea level. Starting around 8:30–9:00 AM, the journey begins through undulating tea plantations, where each leaf tells a story of Munnar’s colonial legacy and the hardworking communities that keep its tea heritage alive.

As the trail ascends along the western ridge, you’ll pass grasslands, rocky slopes, and shola forests, with sweeping views of Idukki Dam, Anamudi Peak, and the mist-covered valleys of the Western Ghats. Your guide shares fascinating insights into the history of tea in Munnar, its socio-economic role, and the delicate processes of cultivating, plucking, and roasting tea — traditions introduced by Scottish planters over a century ago.

Just 3 km west of Mistletoe, the Pettimudi Peak—fondly called the Lion-Head Mount—offers a gentle, scenic self-guided day hike. Reach the foothills by e-bike (30 minutes through village and plantation roads) or by car/auto in 15 minutes.

From there, a one-hour uphill walk offers sweeping views of misty valleys and ridgelines. Adventurous walkers can hike directly from Mistletoe and reach the summit in under two hours. Sunrise and sunset bathe the hill in golden light—perfect for photography and quiet reflection.

Rising to nearly 2,400 metres above sea level near Gap Road, Chokkanmudi Peak stands as a majestic guardian of the Western Ghats. The journey begins with a one-hour drive from Mistletoe to the foothills.

This three-hour guided hike traverses grassy ridges and shola patches, offering open, panoramic views instead of shaded trails. On clear days, the summit rewards hikers with views of three distant dams, including the iconic Idukki Dam.
