KDHP Tea Museum

KDHP Tea Museum is located at Nallathanni Estate in Munnar, Idukki district, and is one of the best places to understand the plantation history behind the region’s landscape. Keralam Tourism identifies the institution as the Kannan Devan Hills Plantation Tea Museum and notes that it was established by Tata Tea to preserve the history and evolution of tea cultivation and processing in Munnar. Exhibits include old tea-processing machinery, archival photographs and objects connected with plantation life and infrastructure.

Displays such as historic rollers, power equipment, office furniture and other artefacts help place tea production in a wider social and industrial context. The museum also introduces visitors to how tea is processed, and tea-tasting is a popular part of the experience. Because Munnar’s visual identity is inseparable from its tea estates, the museum adds valuable historical depth to a sightseeing itinerary and is especially worthwhile for travellers interested in heritage, agriculture and local industry.
