ലോക്ക്ഹാർട്ട് ടീ ഫാക്ടറി
An old tea estate factory founded in 1879. Visitors can tour the tea-making process and taste tea, and there is a viewpoint at nearby Lockhart Gap.
The factory lies on the mountain road about 12 km toward Devikulam and Thekkady. It is one of the oldest tea estates in the area. A small tea museum inside the factory offers guided tours of the production line, covering withering, rolling and drying after plucking, and you can taste several types of tea (a few hundred rupees for the visit). The Lockhart Gap viewpoint nearby overlooks a deep valley and is often visited together with the Chokramudi hike.
