Thane to Kottayam and back via different routes in our Hyundai i20

The Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve can be skipped if you are tight on time.

BHPian anoop.u recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Completed the trip as per suggestions from BHPians (with a few deviations thanks to Google & my kids).

Thane to Kottayam:

• Day 1: Thane -> Pune -> Satara -> Belgavi -> Davanagere
• Day 2: Davanagere -> Hosur -> Dindigul -> Cumbum -> Kumily -> Kottayam

Kottayam to Thane:

Day 1: Kottayam -> Kumily -> Cumbum -> Dindigul -> Tiruppur -> Sathyamangalam -> Tumakuru
Day 2: Tumakuru -> Vijayapura -> Solapur -> Pune -> Thane

NOTES:

Satara Road to be avoided, not at all drivable post sundown. Solapur route is the better option as of now.

Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve can be skipped if you are tight on time. I did the Bandipur reserve last trip and wanted to cover Sathyamangalam this trip.

Signing off with a photo of the steed from the return journey.
