I, for one take this route always. After a long drive from Bangalore, Angamaly-Ettumanoor section is so refreshing. Angamaly-Moovattupuzha has really good road. For Moovattupuzha-Ettumanoor, speed would be low, but the section has very little traffic. Ettumanoor to Changanacherry is a mad section of road- Always badly maintained and always crowded. Then the thought of home sweet home makes this section always fun. I would be on the route tom. Anyone else? Last edited by WhiteKnight : 19th December 2008 at 11:54. |

Yesterday ,just went to kottayam from muvattupuzha.the roads are maintained fine.and I agree your part that it is a casual ride in the hilly section.It is sabarimala season ,hence the roads are maintained almost fine upto kottayam.I dont know about changanassery though.but last time I went a month back ,it was fine. Even ,I asked my relative in chry ,who said ,they almost 99% chose MC road to reach angamaly.He said MC road is shorter and reaches fast.may be owing to the NH congestion if goes via alappuzha will take more time even if 4 laned..

Sandeep, if you are driving to changanaserry, my suggestion would be to try the Kumily route. The main advantage of this route is that for 95 % of your drive, you will be driving in TN and it is a known fact that TN roads are very good and relatively traffic route. My house is in manimala (hope you know this place, it is some 35 kms from Changanaserry) and I am a regular traveler in the Kumily route.Bangalore to Manimala is exactly 600 kms and it takes around 12 hours with 3 breaks. More over, you can have a tension free drive when compared to all those buses and trucks in NH47 all the way from Salem/Perundurai till EKM.Infact , I will again be traveling in this route on 24 to Manimala. |

Yup it is the first hotel on LT after the signal when you enter from BLR side, also a good place to stop over if one gets too tired while driving back at night. Clean and secure place, they even have suite rooms. |

| ![]() Thanks Joe for updating about the route through Kumily , However i need to make a stop over at Thrissur at a relative place .So i wouldn't be able to take the Kumily route . Seems lots of people are travelling on 20th from Bangalore to Kerala. Hope to see some TBHPians on the way. Thanks in Advance Sandeep |
