    If you’re staying near Thattekad, the Maram Resort Mamalakandam is a convenient budget option. From the resort’s bus stand a local bus will drop you at the main bus stand, then a shared auto rickshaw can take you to the Hill Palace Museum for under ₹50. For Bhoothathankettu Dam, the same bus line runs every 30 45 minutes and the fare is just a few rupees. This keeps travel costs low while letting you hit both spots.
