TVM-Nagercoil route is bad. Congested and potholed. From there till Madurai, 4 lane is under construction. Be cautious while driving on this route since both tracks are not opened for vehicles at many places, the traffic is on two way direction (even though it might seem that its a four way track). Warning sign boards are very rare. Recently, there had been a lot of accidents including those from Kerala.
The alternate road from Gopalapuram chungam to Alathur during 2007 Sep was really bad. Hope they repaired it.
I did not stay at Palani. Hence, can't comment on hotels.
Have a safe journey! |
