A Friday night drive and a Monday daytime return

On 22nd May 2015, Friday I started by 3PM from Bangalore and there were horrible traffic jams at Attibelle, Krishnagiri toll booths. Lost 15-20 minutes each. Took the Omalur-Sankari detour and I am sure would have saved time at the two toll booths that got skipped. It was a breeze after Sankari, only to be bogged down at Kuthiran and inside Kochi due to the Metro work. Reached home at 11:30PM.

While coming back I took the Sankari-Omalur detour as well as the Palacode-Rayakkotai-Kedamangalam-Attibelle route. The Rayakkotai-Kedamangalam-Attibelle route is excellent throughout except for a few rough stretches, which is manageable. Started at 7:30AM from N Paravur and reached E.City at 4:30PM. Had a relaxed drive, skipped 4 tolls and got a better FE.


The Sankari-Omalur detour, starts with a deviation from Sankari Byepass and gets on to the Sankari-Tharamangalam State Highway. This connecting road is a narrow single lane road with lots of twists and turns and deserted.
