Vytila>muvatupuzha>idukki>kuttikkanam>vagamon>erattupetta>etmnr>vytila. A total of 350 kilometres. I think its not much more. Can start at 5 am and can reach back at 8 pm.

@all

As Kochu already posted trip chart. I will give some more details about the distance, route and road conditions.
Vytila-Thodupuzha- 55 kms-good road, mostly straight road.
Thodupuzha-moolamattom- 23 kms. Good road. With some corners which should be taken care of.
moolmattom-Idukki- 26 kms. Good roads, good corners and some forest area.
Idukki-Kattappana- 26 kms. Average roads. Enough and more turnings which force us to concentrate.
Kattappana-peermedu.- 56 kms. Not a good road
Peermdu-vagamon:48 km. Average roads
Vagamon-erattupetta- 15 kms.good road.
Erattupetta-vytila-88kms upto thalayolaparambu-good road. Then average road upto thripunithura

Around 330 kms in total.

EXPECTED POINTS OF INTEREST
1. Nadukani view point
2. Painavu
3. Cheruthoni and idukki dam (if there is entry for everyone on coupon basis as it is a festival season, we can walk through both the dams without clicks)
4. calvary mount, a place gives us a great view of idukki dam
5. Amchuruli, another view of the catchment area of idukki dan.
6. Parunthumpara, a newly developed tourist place. Meadows, suicide point and a vast area for get togethers.
7. Vagamon
