| ![]() I want to go from Bangalore to Aluva via Mysore. I can start at 2pm, but I do not want to drive after 8pm. I want to reach Aluva by 12:30pm the following day I can budget about Rs. 1000 for a two bedroom accomodation. Is this possible? What are my options? If this is not possible, I will start off at 1am and go via Salem-Coimbatore. Not something I really want to do, but this is will work ![]() |

![]() Anything Unexpected?May be heavy traffic in mornings and evenings and the irritation of going through many small towns. I have done Alappuzha-Changanassery Road and It was in very good condition.This was some 2 weeks back. Last edited by deepclutch : 8th December 2009 at 19:32. | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() I am right now in Kumarakom enjoying ! ![]() Yes NH49 is very nice to drive (Although not like NH7!). Munnar to Thiruvankulam was very nice. But for some distance on the ghats till Andamali. The bypass to Vaikom road from Thiruvankulam was also very clean. I also had satguide maps on a Garmin device, which almost did not work and then caught up on the Vaikom road. Not much of a heavy traffic I would say. Regular usual traffic.

| ![]() Kerala is a very slow drive during day time, but in the early hours (before 8 am) or after 9 pm, the roads are extremely fast. For example, you could do the Trivandrum-Ernakulam stretch of 220 kms in 2.30 hours if you leave TVM at 3 am or drive through the night, will take you 4-5 hours any other time. |

| ![]() I saw Police speed checking last week in Vdakkancherry-Mannuthy stretch and Vyttila byepass (daytime). I guess, they don't stop till 75-80km/hr. Last edited by coolclouds : 9th December 2009 at 17:34. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hi Guys, I want to know if MC Road is in good shape? Especially from Angamaly to Kottayam. Haven't been to Kerala in 5 years. Love that road. Will be visiting Kerala in the last week of this year. So will want to drive on it. |

Muvatupuzha-Kottayam is not in good shape at all. Very bumpy road. Not sure if anything has changed in the last one month due to the Sabarimala season. | |
