Exploring Connolly’s Plot at Nilambur, Kerala
An exclusive place dedicated to teak and it is one of the oldest teak plantations in the world – the Conolly’s Plot. Named after H. V. Conolly, then Collector of Malabar, in 1842 initiated the action to plant teak here and that resulted in the world-famous teak plantation. The place is home to numerous large teak trees. After a short walk through the Kerala Forest Department area, one has to cross a beautiful hanging bridge, which is the longest in Kerala, built across river Chaliyar, to reach the Conolly’s Plot. The plantation also houses a big tree that has a girth of 420 cm. This is one of the oldest surviving man-made teak plantations in the world. You can stroll along the plot for hours.
