| ![]() Last time, when I did Cochin-Bangalore day drive, my max speed till Palghat was only 80km/hr but couldn't find any serious difference in running time (compared to other day drives). I think, 80 is a decent speed for Kerala two lane roads. |

In the middle east they have the points system, you loose points when you overspeed each time.. and finally end up loosing the license... Doesn't matter which day you broke the rule!!!! | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Regarding speed check - One of my neighbour, who picked up his relative from calicut airport and was on his bay back home. He was driving 100+kmph and was caught by highway police few km before kannur bypass road. Rs.300/- fine straightaway with a warning - if caught next time -the fine will be Rs.1000/-. (does this mean if caught again at the same place and by same cops/speed gun?) So it seems the cops are serious now to implement the speed limit on the highways (they say to reduce the accidents) ? |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hi, Off topic here: More than the 'reducing the accidents', it is for revenue! They don't bother about the speeding KSRTC buses or the government vehicles! |

Yes quite agree ! other than KSRTC buses, there are Private buses who drive without any regulations and overspeed causing major accidents than the small cars. No one care to restrict these people ![]() | |

| ![]() Those planning to do the Vyttilla - Aroor strech during the night hours in next couple of weeks should budget for at least 2 hours journey time to cover this distance. 4 laning work is going on here, and wook is happening only during night time. |

| ![]() Route from Trissur to Nelliyampathy is as follows: Take NH47 to Alathur (towards Palakkad, approximately 45 kms from Trissur). From Alathur, go via Koduvayur to Kollemgode (approx 25 kms) From Kollengode, route is as follows: Kollengode 26-Nemmara 11-Pothundy-Puliyanpara 30-Seethergundy 3-Nelliyampathy 3. From Alathur, you should take 2 hours to reach Nelliyampathy. There is limited accomodation in Nelliyampathy, beyond which are mostly private plantations. With their permission and forest department permissions, you can go trekking into the evergreen wild jungles - connected to the Parambikulam range. I am told that there are jeep tarcks and trekking trails to Parambikulam/Top Slip/Sholayar from Nelliyampathy. |

| ![]() Thanks hvk sir.. Done the Thrissur - Nelliyampathy route. Route taken Thrissur - Mannuthy - vadakunchery - Chitilanjery - Nenmara - Pothundy - Nelliyampathy. The road conditions are fine. From pothundy dam to nelliampathy, the roads are awesome but narrow. Its a superb drive. Some hotels have come up at the top. Accommodation is also available. Main points of interest are kesavan para , Suicide point (view point) in poabs estate. The main attraction is a jeep ride to manpara (4X4 territory). We missed it because there were some restrictions from forest department. Climate is awesome and the scenery is mind blowing. Hope this helps someone.
