Thanks gentlemen. I didn't know about the Rayakottai route. I will take that for sure post Attibele. Hope it is a good drive to Kochi. Will write back on this forum once done. |

Me too took this route two months back and it was very good except for a small stretch towards end. Btw, the road via Kelamangalam to Rayakottai is very good with almost no traffic. There are few rough sections before TVS factory. |

So you mean after TVS factory all the way to Kelamangalam, its now good? I remember Suresh mentioning there were quite many culverts which were getting done. So are they all done now? |

Did Bangalore-Kochi yesterday. Attibelle-Kelamangalam-Rayakottai-Palacode is mostly good, no issues. |

Following is the route map to avoid thoppur toll as well. The Mecheri-Pennagaram stretch is a treat to drive . I have been on this stretch before. Once you reach Pennagaram, proceed towards the right till you reach a village called Nagadasampatti. From here take a left to proceed towards Palacode. Anyways if in doubt you can ask the locals for guidance. |

I will be driving back to Bangalore from Vaikom on October 26th, Sunday. Since it is the end of long weekend, does it make sense to take the Bhavani - Mettur - Mecheri - Pennagaram - Palacode - Attibele route? I would be reaching Salem by 12:00 noon. I want to avoid the Thoppur - Krishnagiri and Attibele toll booths. I have taken the Mettur route to Join Thoppur and the Palacode route to Join Hosur long back but haven't taken the above route. Is it easy to find directions? I do not have a GPS device. |

A 3:30 AM start from Bangalore and it was a queue-less toll booths in the NH7-NH47. And the recent rains must have plummeted the quality of SH86(Omalur-Sankari)- i took it 20 days back and it was manageable then; but yesterday the potholes were just too many! |

Why the SH, when you started at 3:30. Shouldn't the 4-lane be faster at those times? |
