Why are you going tokecheri to reach thrissur?Keep straight on the thrissur road from Wadakancheri. From kecheri after sobha,take a right after aryas towards Lulu convention centre and keep on the road and the road ends up on mg road From Nh47,come straight into thrissur from mannuthy get onto the round and take the left onto mg road after navaratna restaurant | |

![]() I will mostly take Vadakkencherry-Mannuthy-Thrissur this time and probably try Alathur-Kecheri-Choondal for a Guruvayoor trip sometime later. Just the fact that I have 2 options gives a more comfortable feeling, like a Plan B just in case I need to use it. | |

Just back from kerala and I came in through the Walayar check post. probably 10kms after this you come to a McDonalds on the left and immediately after that a flyover is being built as part of the 4 lane highway. if you go left you bypass palakkad town and if you take the right under the flyover you go through palakkad and then straight to Shornur and Thrissur via kolazhy.. This route I think is better and faster. | |

This time I plan to avoid Chengapalli-Coimbatore bypass-Walayar and take the 4 lane roads only upto Avinashi, then Mangalam-Palladam-Pollachi-Kollengode-Vadakkencherry-Mannuthy-Trichur. Am quite familar with this route upto Pollachi and roads are good too. Planning an early start so should be in Pollachi before noon and at Thrissur in the afternoon.

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Expert opinion needed. I will be driving from Bangalore to Payyanur today. Will be taking the route Bangalore- Mandya-Srirangapattana- Hunsur-Gonikoppal- Vallithode- Payyavoor-Thaliparamba-Payyanur. Between Gonikoppal and Vallithode, Heggala stretch forest area, I heard it is a restricted route and is time bound. Between what time is this stretch restricted? We are starting from Bangalore at 14:00h. -UB |

Don't take via Payyavoor, instead go straight and take Irikkur - Sreekantapuram route. Road is in excellent condition. | |

| ![]() Anyone travelled from Bangalore to Kottayam via Theni-Cumbum-Kumily-Ettumaoor route recently, say in last 3-4 months. How is the general road condition from Theni to Etumanoor. 7-8 months back, while driving from Changnachery to Bangalore, I had taken the Kanjirapally - vandiperiyar-Kumily-Theni route. And if I remember correctly, the stretch between Kumily to Theni was not smooth and had a lot of pothole stretches. Hence always preferred the Thenkasi-Thenmala route. However, this time I need to travel to Etumanoor and considering the pathetic condition of MC road from chengannur to Kottayam, thought I will take Theni-Etumanoor route. Also it would save me around 100kms. And if I start at around 3am from bangalore, will it be possible to make it to etumanoor by say 11-12pm, considering the following - normal driving speeds that is neither too fast nor too slow - saturday morning traffic conditions from Kumily to Etumanoor - ghat roads - anything else, I missed out FundaG |

| ![]() Quoting an old post of Ranjit Quote:
Onward Planning to take Pollachi-Alathur-Wadakkancheri-Thrissur with customary stop at SNR Chips ![]() Return is planned via Thrissur-Mannuthy-Vadakkencherry-Nemmara-Kollengode-Pollachi Questions: 1. Kollengode-Alathur-NH47 -> Is there any bridge(s) construction here as part of road widening work ? I need to go over to the other side to Alathur town and then towards Pazhayannur so wondering if my landmarks from 2 years ago will still be valid. 2. Mannuthy-Vadkkencherry - how to spot this turn off ? Any landmark/signage ? Last edited by NPV : 7th November 2014 at 17:05. | |

It will take you 13-14hrs to reach Kottayam from Bangalore. If you want to save time do the entire Cumbum-Ettumanoor route at night so that you reach Mundakayam at around 5-6AM. | |
