Along the Way
The Road from Kannur to Ooty
Pickups run from Kannur railway station, Thavakkara, Fort Road or any home in the district. The car climbs the Nedumpoil ghat from Kuthuparamba to Mananthavady, then runs south through Panamaram to Kalpetta. From Kalpetta the road passes Meppadi's tea gardens and Vaduvanchal before crossing into Tamil Nadu. The Kannur to Ooty via Gudalur route then climbs through Naduvattam's misty slopes to the Nilgiris plateau.
