    Return Journey: Coorg-Virajpet-Vadakara-Quilandy-Kuttipuram-Edappal-Thrissur. (Actually I'm not familiar with the route,so don't know much details )

    We are planning a 4/5 day trip
    Please suggest the road map ,nice places to stay and safety tips.

    Thanks and Regards.

        Some Xbhpians from Mumbai and Pune are currently riding in the same area (damn, I missed it ). You can pm them for the latest update once they are back. They started the ride on 11th Aug and will be back on 19th Aug. Professor Biker, Reverrend, Alex Joseph from Pune and Sachin Nair, Rahul Kakkar n one more guy from Mumbai.

        Cheers,

            ThOmMy - Can you do an approximate itinerary based on the number of days & we can shape up from there?

              Yes bro,

              Day 1 : Kochi-Munnar
              Day 2 : Munnar-Ooty
              Day 3: Ooty-Coorg
              Return Trip (Day 4):
              Coorg-Muzhuppilangadu,Kannur. (Got to meet some of our friends there )
              Then finally back to Cochin.

              Brother,can you give an insight into the condition of roads Munnar-Ooty-Coorg ? (I'd been through Valparai-Munnar once but this is another route I suppose.)

              We'd also be much grateful if you could help us in choosing hotels for stay at Ooty and Coorg.

              Regards.
              love with the road.

                EKM - Thiruvamkulam - Puthencruz - Kolenchery - MVPA - Kothamangalam - Nerimangalam - Adimali - Munnar
                OR
                EKM - Aluva - Kalady - Perumbavoor - Kothamangalam - Nerimangalam - Adimali - Munnar

                The latter is shorter

                Are you sure you just want to ride & excluding local site seeing?
                Munnar - Udumalaipet - Annur - Mettupalayam - Ooty
                OR
                Munnar - Udumalaipet - Pollachi - Coimbatore - Mettupalayam - Ooty

                OR
                Ooty - Masinagudi - Gudalur - Sulthan Bathery - Virajpet - Madikeri
                OR
                Ooty - Masinagudi - Gudalur - Meppadi - Kalpetta - Kutta - Virajpet - Madikeri (Some mind blowing scenic route though very long & MAY BE tiresome)

                Fine

                Hotels you can find them on the fly as this is no season & you can even bargain for some discounts.

                  The latter is shorter
                  We shall select the first one out of the two

                  We do love to do sight seeing en-route bro. (This is my fourth trip to Munnar,not all were bike trips though.) So some sightseeing in Day 1 may be enough. I know Munnar is a lot more to see. But,time constraints. Have to be back home before Onam.

                  Since,you have specially mentioned that the third one has mind-blowing scenic beauty,we can't avoid it. So,we'll pursue that route itself.
