Re: Information needed on Kerala Ride

Thanks for the approval.
My queries are:
1. I am planning to do this circuit in December 17-22. Is it a good climate?

2. I haven't ridden in any of these roads previously. My draft is based on Google maps. What is the road condition?

3. Need suggestions for stay, preferably 2 or 3 options at a place, to avoid last minute tensions if one fails. If i get a cheap deal, i am open to places which are closeby to one i planned, unless it doesn't deviate much from the planned route. Budget stays in the range of 600₹ would be great.

4. Places to visit in Munnar, Vagamon, Valparai and any other places worth visiting in the planned route?

5. My ride is Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350. Is this itinerary do-able in the estimated time frame or do i need to extend my days?

6. What documents should i carry along with me for this inter-state ride? Will xerox suffice or i need to carry original documents?

7. Is riding at night allowed in kerala? I heard that some roads are closed after 7 pm. I will be riding only if there is some unavoidable situation arises.

Re: Information needed on Kerala Ride

One thing I want to tell you is that your trip would be very very scenic! ... Roads will have never ending curves and corners. All you need to keep in mind is to enjoy to your fullest, yet not get over excited and enter into MotoGP mode.

Alternatively you can go through my "Exploring South India -2 " ( in my signature) and include destinations like "Kodai" & Ooty.

Wish you luck.

Thanks for the reply. I visited Kodai and Ooty last year. And due to budget constraints, I am choosing this circuit.
