Here's a short report of our trip from Cochin-Munnar-Kodaikanal. Although Munnar wasnt planned initially, we decided to cover it since we wanted to try the Cochin-Munnar-Kodai route.
Started off from Cochin on 22nd April at 2PM. Roads are in a good shape but was crowded since it was the Easter weekend.
Here's the route info.
Cochin – Muvatupuzha (38kms) – Kothamangalam (50.8kms) – Adimali (101.7kms) – Munnar (133.5)
Kms represents the Odo reading
Reached Munnar at 5.30PM
As the trip to munnar was planned at the last second, we couldnt get any rooms. So opted for Marthoma Retreat Home. It was pretty decent.
Started off for Kodaikanal at 9AM (23rd April). Here's the route info
Munnar – Poopara – Theni – Periyakulam – Kodai Ghat Road to Kodaikanal
Total – 200Kms (Approx)
We had booked the rooms at “The Fern Creek” (3 nights/4 days). Heard about this resort from Trip Advisor. I should say it was one of the best holidays that I have had. As read from the Trip Advisor, excellent service and homely food. Although a bit expensive, it was absolutely mind blowing. Mr Praveen and Mr Anbu treated us really well and made sure that we enjoyed our trip.
We checked in at 1.30PM after a grand reception from the resort staff. They escorted us to our honeymoon suite. After a brief explanation by Praveen, he took us to the restaurant for the lunch.
On 23rd and 24th , Kodai was crowded and raining heavily. Went for a short drive to the Lake but couldnt step out since it was raining. On monday (25th), the climate was on our favor and sun was hot to our relief. Also since the weekend was over, it became less crowded. We decided to check out the places around the lake and the coaker's walk.
PT road is a good place to check out for some good eat outs. You have Pot Luck and another coffee shop right beside it (dont remember the name. Think it was something like “Azriel”). There are many shops here too.
Started our drive back to Cochin on 26th April at 11AM after breakfast. After leaving some valuable comments and feedback, we thanked Praveen and Anbu for the wonderful reception and hospitality that they provided.
Here's the route info:
Kodaikanal – Palani (53kms) – Pollachi (65kms) – Palghat – Thrissur – Cochin
Kms represents the total distance.
Total - 310Kms
Reached back at 4.30PM. The roads are in very good shape. The only bad section was in the 11th hairpin where they are re surfacing due to the recent landslide. Pollachi – Palani section was in a bad shape last year (patched up roads). They have resurfaced it and now it's in excellent condition. Here are the pics.
