I am planning to ride from Hyderabad to Kottayam, Kerala this weekend, solo. The longest trip I've ever taken is 250 kilometers, and this one spans around 1300. Bike is Duke 200. I request experienced people to help me out with the route map. The tentative plan is, Hyderabad-Bangalore-Salem-Erode-Coimbatore-Palakkad-Thrissur-Eranakulam-Kottayam. If anybody has a better route or suggestions, please do help me out.

Riding Solo - Hyderabad - Kottayam
Hello everyone,
I am planning to ride from Hyderabad to Kottayam, Kerala this weekend, solo. The longest trip I've ever taken is 250 kilometers, and this one spans around 1300. Bike is Duke 200. I request experienced people to help me out with the route map. The tentative plan is, Hyderabad-Bangalore-Salem-Erode-Coimbatore-Palakkad-Thrissur-Eranakulam-Kottayam. If anybody has a better route or suggestions, please do help me out. -
Re: Riding Solo - Hyderabad - Kottayam
If you have time on hand, try an alternate route for e.g.: Hyd-Karwar-Kottayam (along the coast) or along the hills.
The multi-laned highways tend to get boring and monotonous.
Now Showing: K2K 9000Km of Solo Bliss

My Last few rides:
Kumaon Wanderings - Darma Valley
2400Km of Solo Spiti Sauntering
From the rains of Uttarakhand to the deserts of Ladakh

Re: Riding Solo - Hyderabad - Kottayam
Thank you. Time is not at all a problem for me. How is the road and could you tell me about the traffic also a bit please?Originally posted by dichkaun View PostIf you have time on hand, try an alternate route for e.g.: Hyd-Karwar-Kottayam (along the coast) or along the hills.

Re: Riding Solo - Hyderabad - Kottayam
Here's one option: https://www.google.com/maps?saddr=Hy...sz=7&via=1&z=7
See if you can use google maps in terrain mode and follow the roads that go through green area. Again try this only if you have free time. It is likely to take double the time.

Re: Riding Solo - Hyderabad - Kottayam
Well, I took a flight instead of taking the bike because I had to get there in a hurry. And yes, I will be going some time around June. Please PM me your number, and we can plan this.Originally posted by Richu Royce View PostHey....how did the trip go?

Re: Riding Solo - Hyderabad - Kottayam
It's a bit late to post this, but I have completed my trip from Hyderabad to Kottayam successfully, 19 hours riding including five hours of break in between, three in Bangalore and rest on the way for refreshments. Other than a sore butt, I had not faced any real issues.
