Caste, community, income, nativity and possession certificates: the papers each one asks for, which office it goes to, what it should cost, and the time limit the state gazetted for it. It also sets out the right of appeal, which is rarely mentioned at the counter — including that the law changed in November 2025 and the second-appeal window is now thirty days, not sixty.

Pick whether you are driving up, bringing a tour bus, on a service bus, or living here, and see only the rules that apply to you. Every item carries the date it was announced, and where the reporting disagrees with itself — the two one-way schemes, the two lists of check posts — the page says so instead of choosing one. The entry fee is still only a proposal, and no rate has been fixed.

Nothing has been published about the road past the CSI church since 9 July, so this is drivers and residents telling each other. Tap a stretch — the Adimali climb, Gap Road, the town centre, the Marayoor ghat — to say whether it is clear, slow or blocked. Reports fade after six hours, and the District Collector remains the authority on any closure.

Live IMD weather warnings for Idukki district, rain and fog at five points down the NH-85 hill road, a month-by-month guide to the Munnar year, Eravikulam National Park's open/closed status, and the emergency numbers that matter when the rain gets heavy.
