Meesapulimala Offering a spectacular view of the steep slopes of tea gardens all around, the Meesapulimala hills are still not known by many because this hill station is not for everyone. Only if you are a true nature lover and ready to take the bone-rattling drive up the hills – you will be able to witness the glorious beauty of the undulating tea gardens with majestic mountains in the background.

How to reach meesapulimala

After landing in Kochi, you had to reach the silent valley, about 4 hours away. Twenty kilometers from Munnar, Rhodovalley’s 8km hike offers hikers breathtaking views of meadows, rainforests and high-altitude wildlife. Rhodovalley is so named because of the red rhododendron trees, which bloom here. Reaching the Silent Valley was a challenge since it was a private road with a narrow lane. The area was surrounded by a tea plantation and there are two or three deviations on the way. I did not find anyone on this road before arriving at the Silent Valley base camp. The place is blessed with solitude. No phone calls, no busy schedule, no vehicle noise or pollution. Camp electricity is generated using the micro turbine.
