How To Reach Manjolai Hills

Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India
General Overview: Manjolai Hills is a breathtaking hill station nestled at an elevation of about 1,162 meters within the Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve. It is often referred to as the Ooty of Tirunelveli due to its lush green tea plantations and misty weather. The area is a mosaic of tea estate s, tropical evergreen forests, and serene waterfalls that feed the Thamirabarani river system. Historically, these hills were leased to the Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation in 1925 for tea cultivation. Today, it remains a tranquil escape from the scorching heat of the plains. The region includes famous spots like Kakkachi, Nalumukku, and Oothu, each offering unique vistas of the Western Ghats. Because it lies within a protected tiger reserve, human intervention is minimal, preserving the virgin beauty of the wilderness. Visitors can witness the harmonious coexistence of man-made plantations and wild jungle. The air here is infused with the aroma of fresh tea leaves and mountain herbs. Recent environmental policies suggest that human settlements may eventually be moved to protect the core forest area, making it a "must-visit" before it becomes strictly restricted. It is a paradise for those seeking solitude and raw nature. :
