At a distance of 13 km from Munnar Bus Stand, the Indo-Swiss Farm is a dairy farm located in the quaint village of Mattupetty, Munnar. It is one of the prominent places to visit as part of Munnar - Thekkady tour packages.

Spread over 469 acres of lush green grasslands, the Indo-Swiss Dairy Farm in Kerala is a cattle development and research center that was launched in 1963 on mutual agreement between the India Government and the Swiss Confederation. The main objective of the Indo-Swiss Farm was to improve the quality of livestock farming in Kerala. Later, for the betterment and strengthening of the organization, the farm project was rehabilitated under the Indian Government and finally named the Indo-Swiss Project.

Maintained by the Milk Marketing Board and Kerala Livestock Development, the farm is laid out in three distinct sections - Animal Husbandry, Fodder, and Semen Bank. It is home to nearly 400 cattle of 100 varieties. Fresh milk, cheese, and chocolate are just a few of the dairy items that visitors may try at the farm. A tourist visiting the farm also gets an opportunity to experience the scenic beauty of the Mattupetty Dam and Lake, Tea plantations, and Kundala Lake and enjoy the blissful ambiance of the surroundings.
