Tour Details

Unveiling the Highest: Kolukkumalai Tea Estate Trek with Nature Admire

Munnar, a haven of rolling hills and sprawling tea plantations, beckons adventure seekers with a unique experience – the Kolukkumalai Tea Estate Trek. Nestled amidst the clouds at an elevation of over 7,900 ft, Kolukkumalai boasts the world’s highest tea estates, offering breathtaking vistas and a chance to immerse yourself in nature’s bounty. Let Nature Admire be your guide on this unforgettable journey.

A Challenging Yet Rewarding Ascend:

  • Moderate to Difficult Trek: The trek to Kolukkumalai, while not technically challenging, requires a good level of physical fitness due to the distance (approximately 14 km) and uphill climbs.
  • Diverse Terrain: The trail traverses a captivating mix of landscapes, including lush tea plantations, verdant forests, and scenic meadows, keeping the trek visually stimulating.
  • Acclimatization: Due to the altitude, proper acclimatization in Munnar before the trek is highly recommended. This allows your body to adjust to the thinner air and reduces the risk of altitude sickness.
