Along the Way
The Road from Thekkady to Alleppey
Pickups run from Kumily town, the Thekkady lake road, Chelimada, Amaravathy or any spice-estate homestay. A Kumily to Alleppey taxi heads west past Vandiperiyar, where tea factories line the Periyar river and the air smells of fresh leaf. The road climbs gently to Peermade and Kuttikkanam, with tea gardens and pine trees on both sides. The old Ammachi Kottaram palace stands just off the road at Kuttikkanam. After Kuttikkanam, the Thekkady to Alleppey via Mundakayam ghat drops steeply through forest and rubber estates. From Mundakayam, the road runs through Kanjirappally and Ponkunnam to Kottayam. The Thekkady to Alleppey via Kottayam stretch then heads south-west to Changanassery and joins the AC Road, built straight across the paddy fields. A Thekkady to Kuttanad taxi follows this road through the rice bowl of Kerala, where farms lie below the level of the canals. Herons and ducks gather in the fields after the harvest. The Thekkady to Alleppey distance by road is about 140 km in total. A Thekkady to Alappuzha taxi ends at Alleppey town, the beach, Punnamada Lake or a resort along the canals. Most lakeside stays are within 10 km of the town centre, so the final stretch is quick.
