Day 7 (29 Dec, 2017)
Route: Tirunelveli – Virudhunagar– Tirumangalam - Madurai - Pallapatti – Batlagundu – Kattakamanpatti - Kodaikanal
Distance: 280km
Travel Time: 5.5hrs (including 1hr break)

Left Tirunelveli at 9:30am, connected beautiful NH4 in few minutes crossed Salaipudur Toll by 10:15am, Etturvattam Toll Plaza by 10:50am and Kappalur Toll Plaza by 11:30am. After crossing Madurai stopped at a restaurant for 10min tea break. Around Pallapatti you have to leave NH4 and take left for Kodaikanal, after this it was a 3 lane undivided highway but road condition was good, around Kattakamanpatti you need to take right for Kodaikanal, which I reached at 12:45pm, again took a 15min break for Coconut water, views were really good from here all paddy fields and coconut trees around.

From this point ghat road starts and Kodaikanal is around 50km, road is 2 lane undivided and not in very good shape, I drove very slow just wanted to enjoy views, stopped at few places for pics and finally reached Kodaikanal at 3pm. Had late lunch at hotel itself and in the evening enjoyed views from there and at night few programs were organised by hotel.
