Start your adventure with a trek to the second-highest peak in the Western Ghats, Meesapulimala. The challenging but breathtaking trek will take you through lush tea plantations and shola forests, where you'll discover incredible views of the valleys and waterfalls. Keep an eye out for the endemic flora and fauna species like the Neelakurinji flower that blooms once in 12 years. The final ascent to the summit offers a panoramic view of the Western Ghats and the plains of Tamil Nadu. After an exhilarating hike, you'll receive a certificate of accomplishment to commemorate the achievement.
Start with a jeep safari to the hidden valley view-point which takes you through the rugged terrain of the Kolukkumalai Tea Estate. The viewpoints on the way offer stunning views of the forest and scenic vistas of the tea plantations. After the safari, head to the Zip Line activity center for an enthralling experience of zip-lining through the lush greenery of the tea estates. The zip line offers a unique view of the valley, which is not attainable on the trek.
If you have more time, you can add a visit to the Kolukkumalai Tea Factory, which offers a guided tour and tea-tasting experience. If you have less time, you can prioritize either the meesapulimala trek or the jeep safari based on your preferences. Make sure you book your activities and accommodations beforehand as these attractions are popular and can be crowded during peak tourist season.
