Here is something to get you started with planning short road trips in & around Kottayam. The map below show suggested boundaries (in boxes) and pivots (bulleted names).
\nYou can use the sample routes given after the map to plan a circuit based on your distance, time and location preferences. Use Google Maps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can plan a route quickly and it is immensely flexible. You can plan a circular route thereby not having to return via the same places, make a very short route based on your location, mix places up for a longer day-trip, include visits to friends’ & relatives’ places etc.<\/p>\n

This would be an answer to the frustrating and not very uncommon situation of “Where to go? What to do?”.\"shortcircuitgmaps\"<\/p>\n

Sample Routes<\/h2>\n

1. KOTTAYAM-Ettumanoor\/Manarcadu-PALA-Marangattupilli-KURAVILANGADU-Kanakkari-Ettumanoor-KOTTAYAM

6. Here is one Specialty Route<\/strong> that takes you from low-lands to high-range via mid-lands in about 70kms (one way):
\nThanneermukkom-Edayazham-Kallara-Pala-Erattupetta-Teekoy-Ayyampara
\n(View map<\/a>)<\/p>\n

To demonstrate the flexibility of the routes consider this:
\nIn Route 1, from Kuravilangadu, jump to Kallara on Route 2 (Kuravilangadu-Kuruppumthara-Kallara) and proceed to Thanneermukkom\/Cherthala.
\nOn return, go via Kumarakom. There you have it – a remix!\u00a0 Keep making mixes and you won’t easily run out of\u00a0 routes to go.<\/p>\n

The Specialty Route mentioned above will be a suitable addition to the itinerary of visiting friends and family. Give it a little thought and you could sketch up more specialty routes, like a taste-route which link places with good food, a friends’-route or a holiday family-route!<\/p>\n

Note<\/h3>\n

The roads vary greatly in their characteristics – width, quality of tarring, amount of traffic, foot traffic, population density etc.
\nNever stop being alert, even on familiar roads.<\/strong><\/p>\n
