Had you taken any pics on way to Kotagiri/at Kotagiri?
Thank you. I did not take any photos on the way to Kotagiri since I had to get there in a hurry to drop a friend's family who were travelling from there to Coimbatore to catch their train. Many years ago, I had spent one year at Kotagiri. So it was more like taking the family to show the place where I had lived for one year. The drive is fantastic through the forest. Again I could not take the family to Kodanadu view point because of the lack of time.

Reg. Car: Any issues like over heating? How was the rear seat comfort?

BTW, do your son wear seatbelt?
Thank you. There was no issue of overheating although on NH4 we were constantly doing 100-130 kmph. The petrol swift handled it all quite well. Again there were no complaints from my wife and son about the rear seat comfort. The roads were good, so that helped. This was the first time that my wife had to sit at the back for such a long distance - she has a severe back pain problem and so she generally never sits at the back.

Getting my son to wear the seat belt at the back is quite a task - since he would lie down for a while and then play for a while etc. I know that is not safe. But if he sits in the front seat (which I allow only very very rarely and only when we are going a couple of kilometers) he wears the seat belt.
