First the travel to Kolukumalai is itself an big attraction. Have you ever moved every part of your body, though you don't intend to, especially to the tunes of Tamil "Disco" songs for 1.5 hour one way journey through a carpet of tea gardens spread from bottom of the hill to the top of the hill. My two kids enjoyed... More

The plantation can only be reached by a 4-Wheel-Drive-Jeep. It takes about 1 hour to reach the top from the entrance to the property. The site offers beautiful view over the... More

The countryside over which we bounced has to be some of the most beautiful on the globe. Green were the steep slopes carpeted in... More

Our driver arranged a jeep ride up the hillside to this the highest tea factory in Kerala. The ride was boneshaking but the factory visit was great. We were shown around individually by a member of staff with good English and we were encouraged to have a go at each of the stages of tea production. The experience here was... More

exorbitant entrance charges, just to show a film.not much to be seen inside.disliked---plantation & processing film is not a common man business for what they charge.
