It’s not every bus journey that offers a spectacular view of the mountains, lush, green forests and the wildlife. An old model bus that sets off from Pathanamthitta to Kumily every morning, however, is one of its kind.
Starting off at 6.30 a.m., it winds past the countryside Pathanamthitta, reserve forests and picture-perfect water reservoirs to reach Kumily, Idukki district, by 12.30 noon. And for those who alight at Gavi-- a major stopover en route, an even greater pleasure awaits.
The flagship service, which has now become a major tourist draw in the State, is all set to be upgraded further with the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation deciding to launch one more bus in the sector. Starting Sunday, a new bus will commence its journey from Pathanamthitta at 5.30 a.m. to reach Kumily by 11.30 a.m. The return trip leaves Kumily at 12.30 noon to reach here by 6.30 p.m.
