What are my best options on this route-
Goa-Mangalore-Cochin, NH17
From Cochin --Coimbatore(via-Munnar-Chinnar-Pollachi)--Ooty.
From here how do I go about visiting Kodaikanal and then onwards to Bangalore?
Or Is there a route to Kodai from Cochin and then fromt here I come to Ooty and go to Mysore and onwards to Bangy?
From Coimbatore where do I head first? to Ooty and then Kodai or to Kodai and then to Ooty?
Approx distances and time taken to plan the route is also needed.
@HV: Chief do you have logs for this route?
The route would be as follows:

Don't go to Kochi.
Turn off NH47 at Angamaly (around 30-40 kms before Kochi, 30 odd km after Trissur).
This means instead of taking NH17 all the way to Kochi, turn off it at Kunnamkulam and proceed via Trissur town to Angamali.
Route from Angamali is:
Angamali-Perumbavoor-Kothamangalam-Munnar

From Munnar to Kodaikanal:
Munnar (NH49)-Devikulam-Poopara-Bodi Medu-Bodinaikanaur-Theni-Vathalagundu-Perumalkulam-Kodaikanal (~5 hours)

From Kodaikanal:
Kodai-Perumalkulam-Palani-Udumalaipet-Pollachi-Coimbatore-Mettupalayam-Conoor-Ooty (~8 hours)

I do have log books on all these routes, will mail to you.
