THE HILLS
Whichever way you come in, you’ve finally got to make the last stretch by road, which being a National Highway in Kerala, is a really well-maintained one. At Talapoya, it is recommended that you leave your vehicle at our designated pick-up point, and then make the trek upto Fringe Ford in our pick-up van.
The nearest cities to Fringe Ford are Thalassery (60 km) and Cannore (75 km)
Calicut International Airport (135 km). The entire drive time is estimated at 3.5 hrs.
Kannur International airport (80 Kms). The entire drive time is estimated at 2 hrs.
Almost on cue, the tinkle of water starts, and you turn a corner to see a fresh natural waterfall. 27 streams, some of them perennial, criss-cross the property, and 2 waterfalls are just a walk away. The Nilgiri range traps the generous doses of rainfall that it gets, and tunnels it into perennial streams that run throughout the year. Kabini, the tributary of the river Cauvery, begins its journey from Fringe Ford, as well.
Nestled into the blue mountains, the Nilgiris, shoulder to shoulder with the great wildlife reserves of the South, a short drive away from the getaways of Coorg, Ooty and Kerala’s coastline, this land of the marshes (Wyanad takes its name from Wayals, or marshland), is the easiest way to enter paradise without leaving this planet.
