The tea leaves from the Kolukkumalai tea plantation in Munnar are well-known for their unique scent. For distribution, the leaves undergo a human selection, processing, and packing process. Additionally, the colonial-era factory continues to process tea using traditional methods. In addition to sampling tea, visitors come here to take in the captivating scenery. Here, you can trek down the hills, enjoy a safari throughout the tea estate, and receive a factory tour with a guide. Additionally, Kolukkumalai Tea Estate offers lodging for a night or two.
However, remember that the drive isn't for the faint of heart before you get ready for the visit. The route to this picturesque tea estate is difficult and unpaved, despite the mesmerising views. You can only get here in a local jeep or a 4x4 drive. So, when you travel to Munnar's unspoiled splendour, be ready for an off-road experience. A journey to Kolukkumalai offers an intimate experience in the realm of tea production in addition to sightseeing. Visitors are welcome to tour the historic tea factory, where they can observe the painstaking steps involved in making tea, from picking the delicate leaves to packing them. The factory tour offers fascinating insights into the skill and commitment required to produce this fine tea.
