Its good to know that the Thrissur - Palakkad NH47 is being repaired. Did you do the drive in a sedan/hatchback or an SUV? Also, by manageable, do you mean the roads are patched or that there are pot holes which need to be drive around? The Palakkad - Walayar stretch has been patched and is drivable now. Its the Walayar - Coimbatore (L&T Start) thats still a problem. Asking all these cause I will be doing Bangalore - Alleppey over the weekend. |

With the Avinashi bypass ready now (remember reading this somewhere, hope I understood correctly :D) for Bangalore-Palakkad we now have both options - Perundurai-Kangeyam-Palladam as well as Avinashi-Palladam - But how are the road conditions on Avinashi-Palladam stretch ? Interestingly, per gmaps distance for both routes from Bangalore to Palladam is same (348km) :) |

The Avinashi bypass may be ready, but what about the other diversions? *** Per the latest updates, Madukkarai-Walayar-Chandranagar stretch is still rough, though it's been patched up. |

I think NPS is referring to taking the Palladam road from Avinashi bypass and not going further. The point he puts forward is, since this bypass is ready one can take the 4-lane till Avinashi and divert to Palladam from here instead of exiting at Perundurai and coming via Kangeyam. |

Ah! That's a point. The unfinished bypass work had been a good enough reason for me to stick to the Kangeyam-Palladam route for quite some time. Might try this route next time |

Avinashi palladam is in good shape and is a faster option as one can now drive on the 4lane till avinashi bypass. |

Check with Kala. I think he has taken that route bypass Palladam. Not aware of any landmarks. GPS should be the best bet. |

This bypass is 4.5KM whereas by NH is 2.1. But you save Rs.50/-. A word of caution though, the panchayat road is not in a very good condition. |
