I will be doing Visakhapatnam-Kochi next week on my NHC. Vizag-Chennai is 810 km by NH5, a 4-lane GQ highway. I have done this stretch before - 12 hrs max, lunch included.

After a day's rest at Chennai, I will be doing Chennai-Kochi. This route is new to me. I gather that the ideal route would be:
Chennai-Vellore-Krishnagiri (NH46)
Krishnagiri -Salem (NH7)
Salem-Coimbatore-Palakkad-Thrissur-Kochi (NH 47).

Please advise on road conditions & lunch stop if I were to start from Chennai by 5AM.
