    History

    The history of Manjolai Hills is intertwined with the establishment of tea plantations during the British colonial era. In the early 20th century, the British recognized the potential of the region's climate and terrain for tea cultivation. They established vast tea estates, transforming the landscape and creating a thriving industry. The tea estates attracted workers from various parts of Tamil Nadu, contributing to the cultural diversity of the region. Over time, Manjolai became a significant center for tea production, contributing to the economy of Tirunelveli district. After India's independence, the tea estates were managed by various companies, continuing the legacy of tea cultivation. Today, Manjolai Hills stands as a testament to the region's rich agricultural history and its enduring connection to the tea industry. The area retains its old-world charm, offering visitors a glimpse into its colonial past.
