Bangalore to Munnar - Day #1

Bangalore - Hosur - Krishnagiri - Dharmapuri - Thoppur - Bhavani - Palladam - Udhamalpettai - Maraiyur - Munnar

We left early Thursday morning at about 5:45 from pizza corner on Hosur road in Koramangala. We rode straight on down Hosur road, through Krishnagiri and on. We took a diversion before Salem, the Mettur dam route to Bhavani. This cut out Salem and Erode and then on to Udhamalpettai.

The first 2/3’s of the ride was was uneventful, almost boring. One interesting thing we saw was a wind farm just before Udhamalpettai. There were these HUGE windmills, with massive rotors. They made a deep low "whoosh" on every revolution. Now consider that there were hundreds of these!
