The news of inauguration of a 3-star hotel near Pappanamcode by K.B. Ganesh Kumar had appeared in local news papers a while ago. The new Hotel White Dammar is located a little further from Pappanamcode Jn. (less than 1km), towards Neyyattinkara/Nagercoil side. The name of the hotel did enthuse us and we decided to try it out.
