Location
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,
