If you are flying
What the road asks of you
A round trip here is billed by the day, not the kilometre
A return journey is charged for at least 250 km per day, because the car stays with you for the whole trip rather than picking up another fare. This route is 153 km each way, so 306 km of driving over 3 days is still billed as 750 km. On a short trip that floor is most of the fare, and two one-way journeys can work out cheaper — worth comparing both before you book.
This route crosses into Kerala
Leaving Tamil Nadu for Kerala means a state permit. Whether you pay it depends on the fare you pick: a toll-included fare has it inside, and nothing is collected at the border; the cheaper fare leaves it out, and it is handed over at the checkpost. The amount is set by Kerala, not by us, and the receipt is theirs.
What is there
Tea estates and the Tea Museum
The plantations the town exists for, and a working museum among them.

Mattupetty Dam

Worth knowing before you go
- Eravikulam usually closes for a period during the tahr calving season — check before planning the day around it.
- Mist sits on these roads in the afternoon more often than not.
