Take a bus to Anakkatty village. Cross the border to Tamil Nadu by walking. A bridge with a temple separates the Kerala state from Tamil Nadu state. The other side of the village is called Anai-katty. Over there, everything is in Tamil Nadu style. Back to Kerala, everything has a distinct Malayali touch. The bus station is on the Kerala side and the auto rikshaw parking is on the other side of the bridge. There are separate Autorikshaw parking for the differently colored Kerala and Tamil Nadu rikshaws. Immediately before the bridge, you can see a check-post of Kerala.
very scenic undulating hills.
23-km ride into the dense forest for ₹325 per head. Tall watchtower and river. Five-hour trip into the 237 km² park. Previous day booking by telephone is essential. You have to report at the park gate between 8AM and 1PM. The roads inside the park are unpaved and the terrain tough. Animal sightings are rare and if you are not a tree bum, be prepared for a massive disappointment.
