Bus vs train in Kerala/TM

rcreeker · Nov 20th, 2005, 00:10

I'm slowly zeroing in on my itinerary for the South India portion of my 2 month trip in Feb: Land in Kochi. Do the environs there for as long as it takes.
Travel south along the water to beach by train (Varkala or Kovalam...decide then)
To Kanyakumari: Train or bus? To Madurai by train for a couple of days.
To Munnar by bus for a few days
To OOty: Is there a way to get to the toy train by bus without staying in Coimbatore?

Bus to Mettupalayam Thats the station that the toy train starts from . Stay overnight at the Nanda Lodge ,Tell No. 0091 4254 222555 .Clean, cheap ,and just accross the road from the station . Early start required to get the best seat on the train . Manager of hotel will assist (he is trying to get in the lonely planet) Hope this helps.
