Exploring history through an escape road built by the British
Unseen munnar Episode 74
If we go back in time, we can see how it will all lead to newer avenues of knowledge. The Munnar-Kodaikanal Escape Road, which was closed over three decades ago, also has a lot of historical stories to tell. The journey of history to Escape Road begins in 1864. The British Army was looking for a suitable place to set up a military cantonment for the officers to stay. Colonel Douglas Hamilton, an Army officer at the time, saw the Berijam area in the Palani Hills.
He reported that this was the most suitable area for the establishment of a military cantonment. Many wealthy families came to live in this place called Kodaikanal. The main attraction of the place was the Berijam Lake and the cool climate.
There was also a military outpost named after Douglas Hamilton. The name was Fort Hamilton. Though there was a 'fort' in the name, ironically it was a small hut! An artificial lake was built in the area in 1867. Veer Levine, the then Madurai Collector, donated the money he received from his retirement to build the lake. The dam and reservoir were constructed with that money.
