Nestled in the heart of the Western Ghats, this tea estate, which stands at 8000 feet above sea level, features some of the highest tea plantations in the world. Witness the tea-making process, take a guided tour of the fields and finish up with an aromatic cup of tea, something you won’t forget for a long time.
Kundala Lake, located at a distance of 20 km from Munnar, is a picturesque lake that’s perfect for a picnic. The lake is surrounded by green valleys, rolling hills, and beautiful tea gardens and its crystal-clear waters reflect the surrounding scenery.

If you have an extra day, explore the Mattupetty Dam and the Echo Point, which are great to relax and enjoy nature’s pristine beauty. With more time to spare, consider camping at the hills of Kolukkumala or exploring other tea estates in the region. Alternatively, you can focus on relaxing and taking it easy on your trip to Kolukkumala, forgetting the daily humdrum and cherishing the peace that hills and tea gardens have to offer.
