Answer 7

this is the shortest and the best route for munnar from chennai

chennai

villipuram

trichy

dindigul

vatalgundu

periyakulam

theni

bodi (bodinaicknur)

devikolam

munnar

up to bodi it is national and state highway from chennai and the road will be very good after bodi up to devikolam all the road is fair and after devikolam up to munnar you will have some patches and road will not be as good as between chennai and dindigul.

the total distance is 500 k.m from chennai to munnar .

it is a 10 to 12 hour journey if you drive comfortabaly with some tea and lunch/dinner break

you can reach dindigul by 6 to 7 hours which is 330 k.m from chennai as it is national highway no 45 and from dindigul to bodi it is state highway no 36. and that also good and again from bodi it is national highway no 49 up to munnar.
