    A quick way to get to Bhoothathankettu Dam from Thattekad is to hop on the local bus that leaves the village every 30 45 minutes; the fare is just a few rupees. From the main bus stand you can catch a shared auto rickshaw to Hill Palace Museum for under ₹50, and the ride takes about 20 minutes. If you’re planning a day trip, you might want to check the bus timings in advance to make sure you catch the last departure before sunset.
