Kolukkumalai Jeep Safari
(One Of The Best Sunrise Tour In India By Off Road Jeep)
Reporting station: Suryanelli
Entry Fee
Attraction: The Kolukkumalai has the best ever Sunrise view. Many people gather on the top of Kolukkumalai hills to witness this best sunrise. The trip from Munnar to Kolukkumalai on the rough roads before the sunrise is amazing. This journey ends on the top of the hill where the spectators will be greeted with a spectacular sunrise. As the sun peeps out of the misty clouds gliding the green hills of Kolukkumalai hills, the sky covers it in a beautiful saffron colour across the sky. Slowly the saffron colour changes to bright sunlight showing the beautiful greenery on all hills in the surrounding area. Thus the spectators are not only presented with a beautiful sunrise and beauty of the early morning but also with the freshness of the unpolluted environment.
Kolukkumalai by jeeps to witness and experience nature’s ultimate fireworks of awe- the sunrise over mountain tops, the inhale of pure high altitude air, the rare experience of the antiquated orthodox manufacturing process of tea and the sheer scenic marvels of mountain tops- the paradise on heavens! Kolukkumalai is the world’s highest elevation tea plantation at 7900 feet msl. Kolukkumalai is without argument one of the world’s most beautiful scenic destinations. Started in the early 1900s the estate produces tea using the orthodox method in the time tested tea factory. Little has changed here since the colonial planters left leaving behind their legacy of one of the best quality tea you can get in South India.
