This diversion to Akkikavu is the "official" route for people going from Wadakancheri etc to Kozhikode airport since a long time,since it saves the hassle of going via kunnamkulam to connect to the Thrissur-Kunnamkulam-Kuttipuram road. | |

@ranjitp1 -> just believing that the following was the route my friend took (very long time back) that avoided the railway gates as well as Kunnamkulam town:- Alathur-Ottupara Jn-Pannithadam-Kecheri-Guruvayur. Maybe 5 kms or so longer than Kunnamkulam route but helped drop someone who was going near Amala as well on that day. Our original planned route was Palakkad-Trichur-Guruvayur and had to divert at Alathur because of some road-blocks somewhere near Mannuthi. Last edited by ajithbr : 29th June 2011 at 22:46. | |

| Tirurangadi - Aluva We did a quick trip from Tirurangadi, Malappuram District to Aluva, Ernakulam District, the previous day! The roads were very good in condition.  My articulation skills are less than average. For that matter, I'm sharing the track details :  Quick stats!

Well, I guess Bangalore - Mysore - Gundelpet - Sulthan Bathery - Calicut - Thrissur - Ekm would be better. If so the total kms will come to around ~550kms. Also, you have many good choices from Sulthan Bathery to Ekm. Quote:

| re: All Roads to Kerala Quote:
Well. While going towards Ernakulam side, you can bypass Valachery Town by taking a right turn near Kanjipura (before reaching the Vattapara curve) and enter back into the NH near Moodal. We always take this route and ends up saving time. EDIT : This road is known by the name Kuttipuramkunnu-KIillinikode road. The highway guides traffic through this route whenever there is an accident at the notorious Vattapara curve. ...and I was asking whether you bypassed the Valachery town, this way.

Via Coimbatore- Bangalore to Palakkad is approx 410 kms and palakkad to Ernakulam is 163 kms. The total distance is approx 575 kms.I have travelled once in this stretch. Bangalore-Mysore- Nanjangudu-Gudalur-Nadugani-Nilambur-Melattoor-Perinthalmanna-Pattambi-Shoranur-Wadakancherry-Trichur-Bypass-Enrnakulam The distance for the above route seems to be 520 kms as per google map.

Also, if anyone is concerned about kms, they can save 18-20 kms via Hosur-Rayakottai-Palakkodu and another 10 kms by Omallur-Shankagiri route. Again, Mettur route is shorter but the road is not in great condition. Last Friday I tried this route but returned to NH7 itself after few kms. All above distances are approximate. EDIT: As per the log sent by HVK sometime back, HSR Layout - Edappally byepass is 539kms and Palakkad byepass to Edappally byepass - 129 kms only through the regular NH7-NH47 route.
