The ancient Kodaikanal-Munnar road brings back memories of lush greenery, tea and coffee plantation aromas, thick forests and clean air. This magnificent road was one of India 's tallest roads and was closed in 1990. It was strengthened by the British for a potential Japanese invasion in the south as an escape route.
It occupies a total of 81 kilometres in the Dindigul and Theni districts of Tamil Nadu and the Idukki district of Kerala. Just south of Vandaravu Hill, the maximum elevation is 8,140 ft.
It was her driver, Shiju, who was at the wheel initially, but the comfort provided by Alturas was too enticing, and Sayanora insisted that she drive. Her handling of the huge SUV was as sweet as her singing songs. During the floods, the roads to Munnar were considerably impaired, but Sayanora displayed her driving sldlls on a massive vehicle there as well as in heavy traffic towns.
The vehicle went to Top Station after passing Munnar, hitting the grasslands of Lolattuppetty, Mattuppetty Dam and Kundala Dam. Sayanora will exclaim at each picturesque spot,
The rear wheel on the left would remain in the air at certain stages, but each hurdle was easily tackled by the singer.
She moved from the driver's seat some time later and played the A R Rahman hits like 'Kathalikkum pennin kaikal thottuneettinal.' Delighted, Sayorana opened the SLTV's sunroof and stretched her head outside to experience the fresh air.
The sights of the green tea gardens were interesting, but the cold was intolerable, and soon Sayonora returned to the warmth of the interior. She then remembered an old incident that took place while visiting Nvorld with the troupe of A R Rahman.
However, before that, some history relevant to the route they were taking was addressed by Sayanora and others in the Alturas. The British built the Munnar-Kodaikanal road as an escape path. They felt that if any attack took place at Kodaikanal, it provided a secure passage. Top Station, a scenic spot, lies along the way. A ropeway existed here a long time ago to transport tea to Theni.
Local kids remembered her when Sayanora stopped the SUV to drink tea from a roadside stall and surrounded the star for selfies. The tea stall owner, meanwhile, gave a rundown of the nearby attractions. A blue hill called Kolukkumala is on the right side of the road. The tallest organic tea garden in the world is situated here. Korangini hill and Meesappulimala are situated on the other side. When the grassland caught fire, it was at Korangini that many trekkers lost their lives. A zigzag path can be seen on the slopes of Kolukkumala. Once, it was used by horses bringing tea. At present, tourists are only allowed via Top Station in Tamil Nadu to Vattavada and Kottakkambur, he says. Sayanora then shared the storey of Rahman 's tour with him. "I was Kanner's innocent girl and she trusted everyone," she says. Someone in the troupe asked her to take her soap and bag while they were preparing a visit to the Niagra waterfalls. Yet she was the butt of jokes in Niagra.
Sayanora later carried the Alturas to Pambadumshola, the home of a rare Nilgiri marten. Then she went to Vattavada, where they grew carrots and strawberries. Pazhathoottam, located 14 km away, was the next destination. The road was narrow, but once again, the singer displayed her driving abilities. Beyond it lay the Kurinji sanctuary. The benefits of Alturas include a low radius of rotation and a 360 degree camera. On the way back, Sayanora received a call from Sena, her daughter. She said in the quietness of the cabin, "Mummy has visited several hills, we will soon go there together," and sang 'Mizhimalurukal' from the film 'Rani Padmini.'
