GLENMORGAN ROPEWAY
Sholur, Nilgiris, Tamilnadu, India
Glenmorgan is a scenic countryside in Ooty, which is full of eucalyptus and tea plantations. This tea estate is ideal place for picnics and has a big lake constituting the fore bay for the Pykara Power House. This power house is around 3 KM down the hill of Singara and is considered to be the highest plant in Asia. The Pykara Power Plant measures over 38.78 metres in height and is connected with a haulage way (mechanical ropeway). It takes around 1 hour by trolley to reach this power plant from Glenmorgan. Tourists can get a beautiful view of the Moyar Valley, Pykara Power Plant, certain parts of Mysore and Mudumalai Wild Life Sanctuary. Further, there are many rest houses available at Glenmorgan and Singara for tourists and officers of the electricity board.
