I went on the Madurai-Theni-Thekkady route (some common stretches for your Munnar stretch), and the road is excellent. I hear that the Dindigul-Theni as well as the Theni-Bodi-Munnar road are equally good. You should do Dindigul-Munnar in 3 hours.
Does anyone know the condition of the roads from trichy - dindigul-theni-bodi-munnar???
I'm making a trip next week to Munnar from Chennai and i find the distance considerably less if i take this instead of the dharmapuri - mettur-bhavani-dharapuram-udumalaipet route. I know the conditions till trichy are excellent but im unaware of the situation beyond that.
Can you suggest if anyone of you have travelled this route in the recent past?
Hi Bala,
I am not sure of road between Trichy and Dindigul. But Dindigul - Theni - Bodi - Munnar stretch is good. Took 90 minutes from Dindigul to Bodi and 2Hrs from Bodi to Munnar. Bodi to Bodi Mettu is with 28 hair pin bends and then after normal Kerala roads. Enjoyable roads from Bodi Mettu to Munnar.
