  • @ RanjithMN - Fantabulous photos. Loved the 2 ZMRs in front of the waterfall. I have to visit this Aliyar dam soon. After all this, the return ride mustve been yawningly boring ....

              Praful - you spoke my mind; Though bad roads, I want to drive/ride this route after looking at the pics. I know Valparari & Nelliymapathi, Athirapalli are all scenic drives but was hesitating for the bad roads. Should be great in two-wheels.

              • In a way, bad roads are fun too! From Athirapalli upto TN border, roads are bad, you can keep an average of around 30~40 kmph

                  Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the seat.

                        I did a ride on jan this year Coimbatore-Pollachi-Valparai-Athirapally-Palakkad-Coimbatore. It took more than 2 hours to ride that 80km valparai-athirappay stretch. My wrists took a toss. However, the Pollachi-Valparai-Solaiyaar was well laid.

                        kudos, to KL riders to ride this stretch as just a part of their ride holding up the energy level.

                          I'd prefer to have bad/broken roads over smooth tarmac.

                              Well true for bad roads; but I don't prefer muddy, big potholed or broken roads unless I play NFS III
