Elappara
Elappara is a picturesque town located in the Idukki district of Kerala, nestled in the Peerumedu taluk at an elevation of over 1,000 meters above sea level. Known for its cool climate and sprawling tea plantations, Elappara offers a tranquil retreat amid the lush greenery of the Western Ghats.
The town’s name, which translates to “cardamom rock,” reflects its rich history of spice cultivation, particularly cardamom, pepper, and coffee, which have been grown here since the colonial era. Historically, Elappara was part of the Thekkumkur kingdom before being absorbed into the Poonjar dynasty and later the Travancore kingdom.
The region saw early plantation development in the 19th century, with estates like Tyford and Penshwarast pioneering tea cultivation. Today, Elappara remains a plantation township, with most residents engaged in agriculture and estate work.
The MASCO tea brand and estates like MMJ Plantations and Haileyburia Tea Estates are prominent in the area.
