Vazuvanchola near Bona falls is also famous for its waterfalls. The estate has cardamom, coconut, pepper and tea. The exact name of the place is Bonaccord named by the British and means good faith. It is believed that around 1850 an estate was established on the top of the hill and near to a river named as Sooryakanthi. Due to lack of sun light, many labors fell in ill and died. Later the management has changed the location and came down and established the estate in the present location. The laborers had been brought from southern Tamil Nadu and their descendants still live in the estate. Lower-priced tea imports following the implementation of General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade pushed the estate into losses. The estate was taken over by a bank and the plantation was shut down after the owner failed to repay the loan on the estate. The families were provided with free ration by the State Government. In 2014, the State Government Labour department convinced the estate management to reopen the estate, but the employees were neither paid salary nor the free ration after that. Currently the State Government is in the process of taking over the estate. (en)
