The permission should be obtained for a
trek from Berijam lake to Top Station. Berijam is a secluded lake about
24 kms from Kodai and special permission is required to enter place.
This permission too is available at the DFO office at 10 am everyday
(except Mondays and Tuesdays). In case the permission is not available
for Berijam, you might have to start your trek from Poondi village. At
the other end, Top Station is 34 kms from Munnar and is in Theni
district of TN. However, in the course of your trek, you would be
crossing into Kerala for sometime atleast.
The trek distance is 22 miles
or about 36 kms. The initial 20 kms would be on a wide jeep track which
is still in use. Diversions could be confusing. The first major one is
about 2 kms from Berijam where there are 3 roads intersecting - take the
right. Proceed further through beautiful Pine forest for another 4 kms
where you get a fork - a track to the right going downwards and one
straight on, in the same plane — Continue straight on. Another 4 kms
later, you should see around 4 dilapidated buildings which were formerly
forest quarters at ‘Vandaravu’. Berijam to this forest quarters should
take about 3 to 3.5 hours of trekking.
