Indian Lake Resort - Cardamom House
 
TRAVEL

Despite our apparent remote location we are amazingly conveniently situated in respect of Rail and Road transport facilities. The transport scene is constantly changing and therefore you should contact your travel agent for up-to date details.

Our closest airports are MADURAI or TIRUCHIRAPALLI (Trichy). The former is 2 hours drive from Cardamom House the latter around 3 hours.

 

INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS  & DOMESTIC CONNECTIONS

 

EUROPE - CHENNAI (Madras) - MADURAI
EUROPE - BANGALORE - MADURAI
EUROPE - ONE OF THE GULF STATES - CHENNAI - MADURAI
EUROPE  - ONE OF THE GULF STATES - BANGALORE - MADURAI
EUROPE  - COLOMBO (Sri Lanka) – TRICHY

These are but a few suggestions. Other routes fly to TRIVANDRUM and KOCHI in neighboring Kerala, but at present there are no direct links with these hubs and one needs to travel by road or rail (or both) which will take around 9 – 10 hours driving.

 

RAIL CONNECTIONS

DINDIGUL JUNCTION is about 13 miles away and takes around 45 minutes by car. Dindigul Junction is a major stop on the main line from Chennai heading down to the Peninsular of South India. There are very frequent trains during both the night as well as the day. Rail transport is cheap but must be arranged in advance. You cannot just board a train, as we are accustomed to do! Most express trains are fully booked!

MADURAI JUNCTION is on the same line as Dindigul and the same trains pass through both stations. Onward transport should be by Taxi which we can arrange for you

ROAD TRANSPORT

Most of the major roads are fairly well maintained. As the rental of Taxis (with drivers) is very economical, many of our guests like to have their own personal car and are free to plan the itinerary themselves.  Such arrangements are ideally made in advance but can easily be made in places like Madurai.
