Viewpoint
Glenmorgan
Off the beaten path
A tea-estate hamlet above the Pykara powerhouse, with a disused winch railway and a view down a forested gorge to the plains.
Glenmorgan sits at the top of a steep ropeway once used to lower workers to the Pykara hydro powerhouse.
The viewpoint looks over reserved forest that is part of the elephant corridor to Mudumalai.
It stays quiet even in season — a good detour for those who want tea country without the crowds.
