The Kottayam to Thekkady Spice Country Drive
The Kottayam to Thekkady route takes you from the flat rubber plantation country of central Kerala up into the fragrant Cardamom Hills. The road passes through Pala and Mundakkayam before climbing into the spice-growing belt around Kumily and Thekkady.
As you gain altitude, the landscape shifts from rubber and paddy to cardamom, pepper and cinnamon plantations. The air becomes noticeably cooler and carries the aroma of spices — a sign that you are entering one of Kerala's most unique ecological zones.
Thekkady is the gateway to Periyar Tiger Reserve, one of India's finest wildlife sanctuaries. Our drivers drop you right at the Periyar boat jetty, your resort or any specific location in the Kumily–Thekkady area.
