Pickup at your door
The driver reaches your gate by 5 am and takes Hosur Road, using the elevated tollway from Silk Board over Electronic City. At that hour the Attibele toll, about 32 km out at the Tamil Nadu border, takes a minute. Tamil Nadu cameras check road tax, and the driver carries the permit papers, so nobody needs to get out. A car clears the city faster than a van, so four or five people can sleep through the first hour. Palakkad is 415 km away, and the first proper break is breakfast at Krishnagiri.
Quick breakfast
Krishnagiri comes up about 90 km out, where NH48 turns off for Vellore and Chennai; the car stays on NH44 towards Salem. The rocky hill above the town carries an old Vijayanagara fort, which you see from the highway without a detour. This district calls itself the Mango Capital, and in summer the roadside stalls are full of fruit. Pick up a box of Arcot makkan peda, the town's own sweet, for the car. Twenty minutes is enough for a family. On the way home, remember the Hosur stretch is being widened to six lanes, with work zones.
Tea halt
At Salem, 205 km from home, the Kerala traffic leaves NH44 and turns west on NH544, the road the car follows right up to Palakkad. The driver keeps to the bypass, so the city stays off your route. Ten minutes covers tea and the restroom. Hungry already? Ask for a thattu vadai set, called settu, a street snack that began in Salem. Salem silk and Salem fabric both carry GI tags, but the weaving shops are deep in town and suit another trip. Coimbatore is about 160 km further, and lunch comes before it.
Lunch
Perundurai sits on NH544 about 280 km out, a factory town with a large SIPCOT estate, and it is the lunch stop. Erode is only 18 km away, so the food is the everyday Erode kind, parotta, dosa and plain meals, cheaper than in the big cities. The car pulls up at the hotel door. Chennimalai hill temple is about 12 km off the highway if someone wants a darshan, but that adds well over an hour, so most families keep it for another day. Keep 40 minutes. After lunch the road runs another 80 km to Coimbatore.
Snack
The car skirts Coimbatore on the 28 km NH544 bypass from Neelambur to Madukkarai, so the city never slows you down. A short break around 365 km is for coffee and a snack. Paniyaram is common here, and kaalaan, mushroom deep fried and then simmered in a spicy gravy, is the street favourite. Coimbatore makes about three quarters of India's wet grinders, if someone at home has been asking for one. Fill the water bottles before the border. Fifteen minutes, then Walayar is only 30 km ahead.
Check post
Walayar is the Tamil Nadu and Kerala border on NH544, about 395 km out. Kerala runs tax, motor vehicle, forest and excise check posts here, and goods lorries take a separate service road, so a car usually passes in minutes. The driver shows the permit and tax papers while the family stays seated. Kerala's rule on tax for other state tourist cars has changed more than once, so we check it the week you travel. Beside the highway is the Smrithivanam deer park, 110 acres of mostly teak. Palakkad is 20 km on.
Hotel drop
The car comes into Palakkad through the Palakkad Gap, the break in the Western Ghats that lets the highway into Kerala, about 7.5 hours after pickup. We drop at any address in the city or at a relative's house outside it. Ask the hotel for lunch or dinner with Palakkadan matta, the red parboiled rice grown only in this district; kondattam and murukku made from it travel well as gifts. Palakkad Junction station is at Olavakkode, about 4 km from the municipal bus stand. Flying home? Coimbatore airport is about 62 km back.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

About 415 km one way through Krishnagiri, Salem, Perundurai, Coimbatore and the Walayar border, so about 830 km there and back. A cab takes about 7.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and two short halts. The road is national highway all the way, NH44 to Salem and NH544 from there, with tolls on both.
March to May is hot in the plains. Keep sightseeing for mornings and evenings.
Toll and GST are extra. The Innova Crysta is ₹18,000 for 900 km over 3 days at ₹20/km, plus ₹1,200 for our driver; tolls, the Tamil Nadu and Kerala permits, parking and GST at actuals.
Driving late at night adds a driver night bata. The amount is written in the written quote in advance.
Six people and their bags fit the Innova Crysta. Each car is listed on cab rental in Bangalore.
Yes. You get the fare in writing ahead of booking. A one way taxi is billed at ₹2 a km over the return rate, with the driver return counted.
Not much. The road is four lane highway from Salem to the border, and Kerala's four lane stretch from Walayar onward has service roads. July is the wettest month in Palakkad, and the district gets about 100 cm of rain a year, so expect slower driving in heavy showers and a later arrival. The driver keeps the day's plan loose in July and tells you before he changes a halt.
Yes, with an early start. Children usually sleep through the first hour on Hosur Road, and the stops come roughly every two hours, at Krishnagiri, Salem, Perundurai and Coimbatore. Ask for a child seat at booking if your child needs one. Carry a change of clothes and snacks in a small bag at the seat, so the boot stays shut at halts.
