This unique setting offers not only spectacular views but also the quality of tea that is distinct and premium because of the high-altitude cultivation. It's one place not to miss in Munnar for anyone who wants a visual experience of seeing the quintessential beauty of the Western Ghats.

The Kolukkumalai Tea Estate Munnar is famous for centuries-old tea processing. Founded by the British during the colonial era, the estate still uses the old techniques to produce the flavoured tea that everybody hammers for, giving an unusual experience for those who visit.

The original equipment and the classic techniques give a unique flavour to the teas here, distinct from others.

The journey to Kolukkumalai Munnar itself is an adventure. The winding roads leading to the estate are steep and rugged, but the views compensate for every moment you spend here. On the way, you will see miles of lush green tea plantations spread across the hillside and dotted with mist-covered peaks that touch the sky. For any nature enthusiast and photographer, this place is paradise. Kolukkumalai Hills are lovely by the time of sunrise. The steep tea gardens shine like gold with mist as the rising sun.
