I would suggest you to take the Tambaram-Mudichur-Manimangaalam road to Sriperumbudur. I drove on this stretch in December last and the road is in very good condition. | |

| ![]() Slightly Off topic. Last Sunday when I was riding Bach to Chennai from Bangalore, I counted 11 REs all solo at different points birth ways. And a 200 NS. Any bhpians? I was on my ThunderBird AVL(red). |

| ![]() Planning Bangalore-Chennai this Friday for a pleasure trip. I stay in Banaswadi and plan to start by 5-6am. From the recent posts I felt taking chittoor NH4 is a better option compared to Krishnagiri. Is this the right thing to do? We plan to make a quick stop either at Kanchipuram or Mahabalipuram before heading to Courtyard,Teynampet. Please suggest the right stop between the two options. |

Roads are good and you will merge onto the NH46 highway after Ranipet. I think one option is to stop at Arya Bhavan which is just after the Walajah toll, just few kilometres after you merge onto NH 46 highway from Ranipet. This will also be to your left. After this stop you can proceed to Kanchipuram. | |

| ![]() Thanks Suresg_gs, ampere and NPV. Waanted to quote your replies, but yet to get comfortable with multiquote. I have done some trips to Tirupati, so I am aware of the road condition after the 4-lane. Good to know all the options for breakfast. I generally don't take quick breaks. So, I guess the first stop to be around Ranipet. I plan to complete the Kanchipuram visit on the way to chennai. And plan for Mahabalipuram the next day. Can anyone suggest quick places of interest around teynampet, so that we need not spend all the evening at Hotel. |

-Marina is the closest, but Besant Nagar will be more decent. Dinner - 1. Rooftop restaurant in The Residency Towers if you want a view of the city. 2. Copper Point in GRT Grand if you want Fine Dining Tamilnadu fair. Can suggest more if you can tell your preference. Shopping - Ofcourse T.Nagar Panagal Park. Besides the numerous clothing giants like Pothys, RmKV, TheChennaiSilks, Saravana Stores, NaiduHall, Nalli, there are the street shops lined all along Sir Thyagaraya Road where you can pick up small knick-knacks for anything and everything. You could try Rathna Stores for kitchen utensils/enhancements. Malls are a standard fare, nothing different than Bangalore. But Express Avenue has a really nice and huge Children activity area much better than any mall in Bangalore, if you have to engage them. Temples are the next big thing in Chennai culture - you could visit Kabaaleeshwarar Temple in Mylapore. Hope this should help you pick something for your evening, if not, let me know your specific interest, so can guide better. Last edited by GTO : 13th February 2015 at 10:52.

| ![]() Any improvements on the Walajapet to Poonamalee road conditions (last time the toll booth guy told that if court judgement comes in favor, road conditions would improve and judgement expected on Feb 03)? Quote:
