What is Megamalai?
Megamalai, popularly known as the “High Wavy Mountains”, is a serene and offbeat hill station located in the Theni district of Tamil Nadu. Sitting at an elevation of 1,500 meters above sea level, it is famous for its misty tea estates, cardamom plantations, and the rich wildlife of the Megamalai Wildlife Sanctuary. Unlike Ooty or Kodaikanal, Megamalai remains untouched by commercial crowds, making it the perfect “Hidden Paradise” for nature lovers.
