You can still enjoy the misty mornings and the quiet forest trails after sunset. A short walk to the nearest viewpoint, like the Pothamedu View Point, is doable in a few hours the trail is about 5 km and takes roughly an hour each way on a decent day. The Eravikulam National Park is a bit farther; a 10 km trek would probably push you past dark and would be better left for daylight. If you want to stay in the area overnight, consider staying at a local resort such as Chandys Drizzle Drops, which is only about 8.7 km away.
