A Scenic Escape to Kollukumalai – Powered by a Theni Call Taxi! Destination: Kollukumalai Tea Estate, Tamil Nadu

if you’re looking for a place where the air is fresh, the views are jaw-dropping, and your phone signal is basically 'on vacation' — Kollukumalai is it.

So I kicked off this trip from Theni, nice and early, with just a backpack, a warm hoodie, and a craving for something peaceful. And instead of dealing with buses or rough driving, I booked a local Theni call taxi — smooth, on time, and honestly? A total lifesaver. The driver knew every twist and turn, which is important — because the road to Kollukumalai isn’t a road... it’s an adventure.

As we started climbing, the air got cooler, the sun peeked through the trees, and suddenly I was surrounded by nothing but misty hills and endless green. It’s like the mountains were slowly pulling me out of real life and into something magical.

And then — we arrived.

Kollukumalai is like a dream floating above the clouds. Picture this: rows and rows of lush tea plantations, mountain air that smells like earth and eucalyptus, and complete silence... except for the wind and a few birds. Pure therapy.

I got to visit their old-school tea factory — where they still make tea the traditional way — no high-tech nonsense, just real, rich flavour. And sipping that hot tea up there? Next level. Like, if peace had a taste, that would be it.

There are a few tiny stalls selling chai, omelets, and hot bajjis — nothing fancy, but exactly what your soul needs up in the hills.

And the best part? My Theni taxi driver didn’t just drop me off. He stopped at every perfect view, helped take photos, and made sure I soaked in every moment.

So if you're in or near Theni and craving a nature escape — Kollukumalai is calling, and trust me, it’s not just a trip, it’s a total reset button. Mountains, mist, and magic — all just a taxi ride away."
