Glenlorna Tea Estate

A tea estate in Coorg ? Well, that was the first time I have heard of a tea plantation in coffee country, Coorg. So, when Tata Plantations asked me if I was interested in staying there, I nodded rather vigorously. Apparently tea was grown here since 1914 and like many other estates, this was a part of the British legacy too. The bungalow is still named after the erstwhile British residents and stands surrounded by 1200 acres of  lush green tea.

At a distance of 1 km from Barapole River Rafting Point, 20 km from Gonikoppal, 21 km from Kutta and 76 km from Madikeri, Glenlorna is a tea estate situated near Hudikeri town in Coorg district of Karnataka. Owned by Tata Plantations, this is the only tea estate in the center of the coffee-dominated Coorg and among the must-visit places for nature lovers while holidaying in this region of Karnataka.
