Q: How do I reach Maharaja Mettu Viewpoint and what can I see?
A: To reach Maharaja Mettu, you must travel through the private tea estates of Megamalai. The best way is via a Rengha Travels luxury 4×4 service, as the final stretch involves rugged terrain. From the viewpoint, you can see a panoramic bird’s-eye view of the Cumbum Valley, the Venniar Tea Estate, and the Suruli Falls catchment area.
