Along the Way
The Hill Road from Munnar to Thekkady
Pickups run from Munnar town, Chithirapuram, Pallivasal, Anachal, Pothamedu or any estate bungalow. The road first climbs east past Devikulam and the Gap Road area towards Pooppara, with tea gardens on every slope and small waterfalls after the rains. The Munnar to Thekkady via Nedumkandam route drops south from Pooppara through Rajakumari and Udumbanchola. Cardamom plantations, shaded by tall forest trees, cover the hills for most of this stretch. Near Nedumkandam, a Munnar to Ramakkalmedu taxi can detour to the windy hilltop viewpoint with the Kuravan Kurathi statue. From here, you look down over the Tamil Nadu plains, more than 1,000 metres below. The Munnar to Thekkady via Kattappana road through Adimali and Kallarkutty is a longer option used when the Pooppara side is busy. The Munnar to Thekkady distance by road is about 90 km by the first route and around 110 km by the second. A Munnar to Kumily taxi ends in the bustling spice town at the edge of the Periyar forest. The Munnar to Thekkady spice route passes dozens of small spice shops selling cardamom, pepper and cloves. Your driver can suggest an honest shop with fair prices.
