Availability of food enroute is not a problem. You pass through Hosur, then Adyar Ananda Bhavan at the BPCL Bunk in Chinnar (this is around 30 kms from Hosur).

Krishnagiri town has a few decent hotels if you go into the city.

Next stop would by Tiruvannamalai. There are plenty of decent places to stop and eat there.

You could eat at Thirukoyilur or Panruti as well. The roads are very narrow at places in Panruti town and you might have difficulty parking.

If you see my earlier post I've mentioned the distance as approx 390 - 400 kms. I did Bangalore - Panruti 45 days back and the route is good. Watch out for small deviations in the Tiruvanamalai - Thirukoyilur stretch. Small culverts/bridges are being constructed. Its a newly laid road.

Another problem could be paddy dumped on the road. Sometimes these are protected by big stones kept on the road. Watch out for them if there's paddy on the road. This is also in the same stretch.

You might have trouble in Tiruvanamalai finding the right to take towards Tirukoyilur. Just ask. Its easier that way.

Once you enter Panruti its a one way for quite some distance into the town. This will finally lead to a junction. You need to take the right here towards Sethiathoppu and Kumbakonam.
