Others will come and meet on the 29th at Cochin.

Now, something about the places of accomodation near Vagamon and Vaalparai. It's a private British bungalow owned by a team-BHPian and a big rally fan.
It has 3 big suit rooms and bathrooms. Can accomodate upto 25 with extra beds etc.. Rates are still being worked out. Will be near 1000 Rs per head I think.
The whole estate will be under our custody and we have the freedom to roam around and have a blast with our rides and ICE etc...
There are some small water falls nearby, Fishing facilities with Fishing rods, and Athirappally is on the way.

Here's a list from their offer:
Amenities: Television in parlor, Sitting room/library, Room service, Full Meals of your choice, Guest refrigerator, Patio, Room with scenic view of tea estates, Laundry facilities, In-room or on-deck coffee/tea service, Coffee and tea tray in bed before breakfast, Guest-accessible kitchen facilities and Other meals upon special request

Sight-Seeing: Athirapilly Water Falls, Sholayar Dam, Grasslands
Water Sports: Fishing
Adventure: Wild Life Trekking
Other Games: In house
Out In Nature: Hiking trails, Nature preserves and Birdwatching
Rides & Tours: Night safari, Bamboo rafting
Some pics I've got: ImageShack(TM) slideshow

Anybody has any more better options? Suggestions???

Is this near Vagamon or Vaalparai? Or somewhere in between?

Or did you mean near Vazhachal and Vaalparai?

Whereever it is, it sounds good! C'mon the rest of you - this is going to be fun!

I suggest we meet first and THEN drive so that those that make up their mind at the last moment can join in. No fun meeting at the END of the drive.

PS: I'm driving on to Bangalore from Vaalparai via Pollachi/CBE.
