Explore Kolukumalai

The Kolukkumalai Sunrise Trek takes you through Kottagudi Tea Plantations in the Theni district of Tamil Nadu, home to the world’s highest tea plantations and to one of the most heavenly sunrises.

Kolukkumalai is the gate to trekkers’ paradise, the second highest peak in the Western Ghats, Meesapulimala. The path from Kolukkumalai to Meesapulimala Peak Trek has recently been closed and has been declared government reserved property.

You can still catch a glimpse of this beauty from the top of Kolukkumalai that lies on the border with Tamil Nadu to your left and Kerala to your right as you head uphill.

Till date, the only route to Kolukkumalai starts in Kerala from the town of Munnar approximately 32 kilometers away.

Kolukkumalai is only accessible by jeeps because of the rugged terrain. Walking up this route is not permitted.
