The Escape Road:
To Kodaikanal.

Walk from Kerala to Tamil Nadu through the clouds.

Geographically, Kodaikanal is just over the hill from Vattavada. There is an ancient forest path connecting them, often called the 'Escape Road'. If you are driving here, check our Munnar to Vattavada Route Guide first.

The History

Legend says this route was used by smugglers, and before that, by locals fleeing wars. It cuts through deep Shola forests, grassland ridges, and elephant corridors.
