Dodabetta Tea Park

The Queen of Hill Station, The Nilgiris is a home to a variety of Flora and Fauna. Tourism and Tea have been the main sources of revenue for this district and is often described as the two eyes of the district.

 

While tourism has been growing over the years, the remunerative value to the farmers has not been encouraging over the years and the overall the consumption is showing a slight decline.

 

 

The Department of Horticulture and Plantation Crops has created Tea Plantation at Doddabetta. With a view to increase the awareness of the process of Tea making amongst the tourist and also to promote TEA as a healthy drink, it is propose to develop and establish a TEA PARK near Doddabetta.

 

This Tea Park will also serve to de-congest the tourist traffic during the peak period as people may visit it after visiting Doddabetta and then go towards Kotagiri.
