climbing the kodai hills ,one of the toughest hills roads during the monsoon season. there are two routes..
one is from Palani other is from Bathalakundu .
The people travelling from bangalore can take Palani - Kodai route.. this route less crowded and road is also good. but road is very narrow..need to concentrate hardly on the road. Bangalore -> Hosur ->Thoppur -> Mettur -> Bhavani -> Kangeyam -> Dharmavaram -> Palani Temple -> Kodai. the majority of this lane comes under state highways (2 lane). the distance is around 370 kms. but its highly advised to avoid this route during rainy period.
the other route following the NH7 from Bangalore -> Hosur-> Dharmapuri -> Salem -> Nammakal -> Karur -> Dindugal -> Bathalakundu -> Kodaikanal.
distance is arround 450 kms. roads are pretty good with up to Dindugal 4 lane National highway.
from Bathalagundu the hill road commences to the kodai. most of the people prefers this route .
i took the route one during onward journey but unable to use the same route for the return . the Kodai to Palani road was closed because of heavy rain.
Lens used - > Tamron 18 - 250 mm with Nikkon D 5100.
