Manjolai - Unrevealed heaven of south tamil nadu -- Manjolai Trip - 1

I have been to MANJOLAI last week. I wanted to share my experience with all of u.
A brief intro is needed for manjolai. (Eventhough my native is very near to this place I have not been here till now) It is situated near southern tip of western ghats. Lots n lots of greenary - Tea plantaion, where ever u turn ur head u can spot only one colour that is green.

There are some view points from this, u can spot so many dams situated near by.

Height 6000ft MSL
Temperature Very chill
Road condition Poor (now they are laying roads there)
Emergency needs Nothing (puncture,fuel etc etc everything we have to take care)

In my next blog I will explain about our trip in detail. Enjoy our trip photo in this blog.


Date of journey : 11/02/2006 – 12/02/2006

Places covered : Tirunelveli – Amba samudram – Singam patti - Manimutaru - Manjolai –Kakachi - Nalu mukku – Kuthirai vetti – Upper Kothaiyar – Kuttiyar

Transportation : TATA sumo

Number of persons : 4

Required Permission:
Prior permission from forest department is compulsory if you are traveling by private vehicles. (Forest office located at ambasamudram – No contact address with us)

Transport available:
Government busses are available. Frequency of them is very less. (Reliability too). Even though it’s costlier, better arrange some local transport like sumo. Those drivers will take care about the permission from the forest officials and will show all the places nearby manjolai.

every body wants southern part of Tamil nadu should not be given any importance.If this is located in any other area it would have got universal importance.even the basic facilities like hotels and lodges are not provided in this area which put the tourists in trouble.The available Govt(EB N forest)guest houses are also for top level officials and ministers.let the govt end this red tapping and open this tourist spot for the public so that the local population comeout from beedi(leaves) making jobs

Boss i didnt go to this place. as i am make a trip to manjolai on this summer with my friend. so later i will share my travel experience with you and the manjolai estate details also, still i am collecting information. But some information i know that you have to make arrangements are

1. First of all this is reserve forest you get prior Permission from Forest Officials to visit this place. The forest Office is in Ambasamudram near by manimuthar. From Manimuthar to ambasamudram is just 10 km.

2. Either you go by govt bus you need not to get any permission from Forest Office

3. In case you want to visit Upper Kothaiyar Dam you want to get Permission from TN Electricity Board Officials.

From Tirunelveli
You get bus for Manjolai and Kothaiyar

Bus Timings
Morning : 4.00 am, 7.00 am
Afternoon : 1.00 pm and 7.00 pm
