Need help of Kerala x-bhpians and all guys with a Kerala ride on their "done that" list.
I am planning to do a trip to Kerala this month and need help with the itinerary.I'm from Madurai,TN and looking to ride among the lush Green forested area around Kerala.While I want to go to Waynad after reading all those travelogues,My co-rider is afraid of the wildlife the area,so planned so far to visit athirapally falls via munnar to valparai where munnar is just added to extend the trip.We are looking for 4-5 day trip but can't make it for lack of info on nearby POI.
My queries are,
1.Is Waynad safe for just two persons on a single bike(as opposed to a group).Please give some Places and cities or hill stations around the area that would make for some 2-3 day ride.
2.If Athirapally is better,I have finalized only the Falls and open to suggestions around the area that would make up as lush green eye-candy for 2-3 days ride.
3.Are Rc book,licence,insurance and Emission papers enough for verification at the checkposts?
Please advice on anything that you deem needed for my trip.
Regards and thanks,Deepan


. I am taking off that question from my post.And I'm willing to visit temples,though not expressly. My primary need is to tour in the winding hill roads in the rain and mist. Speaking of which,could you tell me about the climate in Vagamon and Athirapally this time of the year?I understand from other threads that Lodging is difficult in Vagamon, any idea about that?I will look into adding Thrissur to the plan.

. In case you feel you have more time and energy, you have an option of going to the Silent Valley national park in Palakkad before going to Nelliyampathy (I think it's difficult to visit both places in a single day). It's another very very beautiful forest range in the Nilgiris, untouched by man. It's around 125 kms from Thrissur. Google it and you'll get some very interesting info about the place including its history.
.Silent valley sounds great,i heard its home to black panther,it would have been awesome to spot one(from a jeep safari,of course.) and reading about kalamandalam intrigues me.It must be really significant in kerala culture.i even read that 2 prime ministers visited.I am hoping that once we start riding,we would forget our life and extend it to 5-6 days as planned.
).Anyways,I am going to try trick the guy into going there
,But could you help on places around my previous Athirapally-valparai route,just in case, if i fail miserably?
