District travel guide

Poovar and Ponmudi: choose the coast or the hill

Poovar is a boat-and-estuary outing; Ponmudi is a hill-road trip through Kallar. Decide which landscape fits your day, then use the listed operators and official contacts to confirm boarding points, forest access, weather limits and accommodation. A directory listing is not a current booking confirmation.
