Review of Munnar’s Anakulam elephant and waterfalls tour, with tea estates, river crossings, jeep transport, meals, costs, and practical tips.
“We went to 1 waterfall rather than the 2 in the itinerary. We weren’t taken to multiple places on the itinerary - we drove past them but I don’t count that as visiting them.
