Enter Palakkad town, and go through town towards the Kozhikode/Ottapalam road via Olavakkot. If I recall right, after entering town, you will come to a right turn to get onto the Olavakkot road without wading through the town. | |

Distance is about 650 kms, i believe. I regularly take this route to get to my place in Kulanada, with a stop at Mundakayam. Let me know if you want any further details. | ||

I have done from Tiruvalla - Bangalore on 31st August via, this route. The roads on Kumaly Ghats (Including Tamilnadu section) are not in great shape, but okay. There are some large potholes in this section, Thanks to the monsoon. It is not bad throughout though. It was in the good shape when I travelled on March. Tiruvalla - Bangalore it is 615 kms through this route. |

| ![]() Guys, Request your feedback on the following: a. Salem - Coimbatore: How much of this is 4-lane? What are the road conditions? b. Coimbatore - Palakkad: Latest road conditions? c. Palakkad - Cherai: What would be the optimal route? I would preferably want to avoid the Palakkad - Thrissur stretch. |

It is quite some time since I visited that part of the region, courtesy my re-location to Chennai, if my memory serves correct what I heard was instead of the road from the Nagarhole park entrance from the HD Kote side to Bavalli, the highway would go via Karapura after taking a left at the park entrance and skirting along the Kabini Backwaters, this would ensure lesser disturbance for the animals. Possibly this could be the reference made in the program though I am just guessing. |

Unless you want to get inside Coimbatore city, the roads are good in the bye-pass. Same as above L&T toll Sorry, I don't have much idea; is this Cherai beach you're talking about? | |

This would be better than going through Trissur town. Another option would be to take the Palakkad-Ottapalam-Shoranur-Perumpilavu-Kunnamkulam route. I think I would prefer the Aluva route. | |

| ![]() I was thinking, From Palakkad You Can Reach via NH47 till Thalore Bypass or from Kuttanellur,Reach Ollur and Take Iringalakuda-Kodungallur-Cherai? This Can save Traffic inside Thrissur City(to a Certain Extent) as well as save 4-5kms too. ![]() |
