Along the Way
The Road from Kottayam to Munnar
Pickups run from Nagampadam, Kodimatha, Ettumanoor, Pala or any home in the district. A Kottayam railway station to Munnar taxi meets you at the platform exit, a common choice for travellers arriving by overnight train. The Kottayam to Munnar via Muvattupuzha route runs north on the MC Road through Ettumanoor, Kuravilangad and Koothattukulam. At Muvattupuzha, the road joins NH85 and heads east to Kothamangalam, a good lunch stop known for its fresh pineapples and simple Kerala meals. Some drivers prefer the quieter Kottayam to Munnar via Thodupuzha road through Pala, which rejoins the main highway before the hills. Both routes cross the Periyar at Neriamangalam, where the ghat climb begins through thick forest and small spice villages. A Kottayam to Adimali taxi passes the Cheeyappara and Valara waterfalls, both right beside the road. The Kottayam to Munnar distance by road is about 140 km in total. Both falls are fullest from June to October. From Adimali, spice farms give way to tea gardens around Pallivasal and Chithirapuram. The last stretch is the most beautiful part of this Kottayam to Munnar hill drive, with neat rows of tea on every slope and workers picking leaves.
