1. What should I see in Munnar?
   In Munnar, don't miss the Eravikulam National Park. It is full of green hills and rare animals. Also, visit the Tea Museum if you love tea, and see the beautiful Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point, and Kundala Lake. Each spot is really pretty!
    
2. What can I do in Thekkady?
   Thekkady is great for fun activities. You can go on a boat ride on Periyar Lake and see lots of animals. There are also wildlife safaris in the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. If you like spices, check out the spice plantation tours. And in the evening, watch the cool Kathakali and Kalaripayattu shows!
    
3. What is a Shikara ride, and how is it different from riding on a boathouse?
   A Shikara ride is a ride in a small, open boat. It is a closer look at the backwaters than a big houseboat ride. It feels more special because you can see everything up close. Houseboats are bigger and more about relaxing and seeing things from a distance.
