Route: Bangalore -> Krishnagiri -> Thoppur -> Mettur -> Bhavani -> Erode -> Kangayam -> Palladam -> Udumalpet -> Munnar

At the time of the ride, NH 7 and NH 47 are under being 4-laned. Heavy traffic with lot of truck/bus convoys. This route avoids these highways and follows inner roads.

Alternate route: Bangalore -> Maddur -> Kollegal -> Chamrajnagar -> Dhimbam -> Sathyamangalam -> Coimbatore -> Pollachi -> Udumalpet -> Munnar

More interesting :). Roads from Maddur to Chamrajnagar are in bad condition. No information on other places.

Hints

  • Start very early (4:00 AM should be a good start)
  • Scenic and relaxed ride with village traffic is seen between Thoppur to Bhavani, Palladam to Munnar. Lot of traffic on rest of road.
  • Need atleast 3 days. But, a 5 day plan would provide ample time to explore the place.
