I had a trip of my life. Left Guruvayoor at 6 am, Ponnani-Kuttipuram-Valancherry-Peruthanmlla-Nelambur-Gudallur-Gundalprt-Mysore-Bangalore.
To start with, it was a drive along the coast of Arabian sea. A twist at Thavannur and it took us to the ghats of the Malabar. A little drive away and we were into the plantation area. Madhu, by the way, the best ever breakfast break that we have had was at Angadipuram. They served a vada with dosha.
The road was broken, understandably because of rains. We couldnt have asked for a better mosaic of Kerala. Coast, hills, forest, etc. To say that it was one of our best ever drives would be an understatement. Kerala is truely Gods Own Country.
Between Gudallur and Gundelpet was just forest and we were stopped by elephants..
It is great to drive along such routes if you have a partner who can encourage you to go into the unknown. Neena was just that. . We broke journey at Windflower at Mysore and if you are looking for some good Indian-continental dishes, this is the place. We stayed overnight at his place and took a drive into the Mysore city and Neena could not resist buying a Mysore silk saree.
Altogether a a lovely outing and I recommend you all to drive this way. I know that Madhu does it every now and then I am I jelous of him.
