If you start at 6:30 you would only make it to A2B or Meenakshi Bhavan by 7:30/8 at Shoolagiri. If you had planned Vellore for a breakfast stop over; it would easily be 10 ! Both A2B or Meemakshi Bhavan are good places to stop, though not in the league of Sankam, Belgaum! :) Just try to beat the crowd. 8AM is peak BF time on a weekend at these places. |

Probably Shri Saravana Bhavan at Krishnagiri should be possible at around 8.30 - 9 am. Just beyond Krishnagiri junction towards Salem direction! |

Hotel Aryaas, below the flyover at Satthuvachari at the junction of Katpadi road and NH 46. If not for breakfast, for coffee/tea/lunch. :) |

Possible. But then its a deviation from the regular Chennai route. So if he is fine then by all he can keep that option open. |

Having said that, I will definitely be visiting the place recommended here while we head to Yeracaud in future. |

Another option, in case you see that Shoolagiri hotels (A2B, Kamat, Meenakshi Bhavan) are crowded. Don't stop. Drive past Krishnagiri and take the Chennai road (NH46). About 5km after the Pallikonda toll you should see a CCD on your right (other side of the 4-lane and not on your side). This CCD campus also houses Aryas. So in other words you will have to cross and take a U to come to this place. Its not that big a pain. The place is decent. Its not the same league as A2B, but typically low on crowds. I think CCD and an Arya has also come up on the same side after Pallikonda toll. Can some one confirm? Its been some time since I have been on this road. |

I thought he was generally not ok with CCD. Both CCD and Aryas are on the same side i.e. on your right while driving towards Vellore from Pallikonda toll. Just after Pallidonda toll, you have another option in Hotel Deepam but on your right again forcing you to cross sides. But, by the time he reaches the place, it would be around 10 am. I have seen another restaurant on this stretch, but on the left side somewhere before Pallikonda toll. |

CCD at the COCO bunk is one. There is one more CCD I think on the same side of the highway a bit further. Or is it just another hotel (Vasantha? ) |

Hi All, Have planned a trip to Pondy this weekend. Per the suggestions in previous pages, I am planning to take the Krishnagiri-Vellore-Cheyyar-Vandavasi-Tindivanam-Pondicherry route. Hope that's fine. Still need to zero-in on the turns and diversions to take to stick to this route. Hope I get it sorted out by EOD today. |

After computing the route in Google Maps, this is what I have come up with. I hope that's fine. http://goo.gl/maps/6KTkl |
