What is the “Safe” and “Scenic” road route from Coimbatore to Kodaikanal?
The safe and scenic route from Coimbatore to Kodaikanal is Coimbatore to Karur (on the way to Tiruchi) on NH 67, then Karur to Dindigul and Kodai Road on NH 7 and then Kodaikanal. This route although very safe and very fast because of the quality of the road, is not necessarily as scenic, but very safe even in nights. The other route from Coimbatore to Pollachi, Udumalaipettai and then to Munar on NH 209 followed by Kerala state highway 4 and then NH 49 and Tamil Nadu State Highway 18 to Kodaikkanal is scenic, slightly mountainous, but distance wise shortest and advisable for day driving only.
