Idukki To Kalpetta

The mountain country

Post by Bijoy | Bangalore | Dec 3, 2011

Accessible by road from Calicut or Mysore from the western side. It's a 3 hr drive from Mysore through the Bandipur Santuary. Avoid night travel on the highway because of winding roads that are scarry in the dark with the thick vegetation cutting your sight short.

KALPETTA - unforgettable experience.
