Teabungalows
Meghamalai is located in Tamil Nadu about 85 kilometers from Thekkadi in Kerala, 43 kms
off Chinnamanoor, on the Thekkadi - Madurai Interstate Highway. Once the exclusive preserve of a group of plantations, Meghamalai today has become the
cynosure of every tourist. The largest plantation, the Highwavys Group, is a tea
plantation owned previously by Hindustan Lever and today run successfully by the
Woodbriar group. Flanked on one side by the Periyar Tiger Reserve and on the other by the proposed
Meghamalai Wildlife Sanctuary, the Highwavys group of Estates lie ensconced in a
geographic depression shaped like a bowl, bordered by rising mountain ranges on all
sides with a 7 kilometer lake winding across itself. Meghamalai is also home to rare species of birds, flora and mammal life. Wild Gaurs and
Elephants are commonly sighted across the few plantations but more so within the
Highwavys Group of Estates.
