How to Reach Megamalai :

Trusting Google maps is one of the worst decision for every traveller out there sometime it gives us a nightmare. Tourism in Megamalai is under-developed and so Megamalai is one such location which isn’t plotted correctly in Google maps.

Me with my friends went on a day trip to Megamalai from Ramakkalmedu which is not so far from there if the map showed us the right directions. There’s limited bus service for Megamalai as this place is built for the purpose of tea cultivation and not for Tourism in Megamalai. If you’re driving to Megamalai then look for ‘Highwavys Dam’ in Google maps.

Note : There’s a checkpost in the foothills of Megamalai which closes before 6 P.M and no one is allowed after.

Resorts in Megamalai :

For the purpose of Megamalai Tourism & Tourist’s convenience, There are several accommodation facilities available in Megamalai. If you’re looking for a budget friendly stay then you can book the Govt. lodge in Megamalai. But who wants to travel so far and just stay in a small lodge? There’s lot of beautiful resorts available in Megamalai just few kms away from the city.
