Thoppur Bhavani is a very good two lane road. After Bhavani its the same NH47 which is seeing construction work so expect a lot of diversions, am not sure about post Walayar, somebody from "Naadu" can update you.

Cheers.
Thanks again for the info Srikanth. We did take exactly the same route as suggested by you . Roads were good till Palaghat (except for the Krishnagiri-Thoppur stretch) till we took the left to go to Thrissur. This stretch of NH47 is so painful where you will go searching for good patches amidst the potholes. With KSRTC driver's driving skills on this road its purely based on your luck if you manage to get through this road without being pushed out of the road by these buses. This is one stretch to watch out for otherwise the roads inside Kerala were quite good.
We did the following routes when in Kerala. Thrissur-Guruvayur, Guruvayur-Athirampalli-Vazhachal, Vazhachal-Pazhayanur.
