I personally advocate people to take train and bus journeys to get here instead of flights, because of the heavy carbon footprint of air travel.
Directions from Tirunelveli
– from Tirunelveli railway station, take a bus to New Bus Stand (about 10 rs).
– from platform 3 at New Bus Stand, take bus heading to Papanasam. There are 2 types of buses: regular and PP (point to point). Both are numbered 131. If you get a PP bus, take that because it’ll stop at lesser stops. (₹48)

– From Dana bus stop, which is 2 kms from the farm, you can either taken an auto or come walking, if you are travelling light.
