Tour Overview
Kolukkumalai Trekking is a popular trekking experience in the Western Ghats mountain range of India. The trek is known for its scenic beauty, stunning views, and challenging terrain. Kolukkumalai is a hill station located in the Indian state of Kerala and is considered one of the highest tea plantations in the world. The trek starts early in the morning with a jeep ride from the base camp to the starting point of the trek. The trek takes around 5-6 hours to complete and covers a distance of around 10 kilometers. The trek involves hiking through dense forests, steep climbs, and rocky terrain. As you ascend, the view of the surrounding valleys and hills become more breathtaking. The trek offers stunning panoramic views of the Western Ghats mountain range, including the famous Anaimudi peak, the highest peak in South India. The highlight of the Kolukkumalai Trekking experience is the view of the sunrise from the top. The sunrise from the hill station is considered one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring experiences in the region. The trek also includes a visit to the Kolukkumalai tea estate, where you can witness the process of tea-making and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed tea. The trek is suitable for experienced trekkers and requires a good level of physical fitness. It is recommended to wear comfortable and sturdy trekking shoes and carry enough water and snacks for the trek.
