About Munnar & Kolukkumalai: Tea Estates & Sunrise Treks

The real highlight here is the 4x4 off-road jeep ride that takes you from the base camp up to Kolukkumalai peak for sunrise. It is a bumpy, exhilarating ascent that drops you right into the clouds, long before the regular tourist crowds arrive at the viewpoint.
