On September 14th  afternoon 2.30pm I started my journey to my home town from Bangalore .My home town is in Cheruvathur,  kasaragod district , Kerala State .

I traveled by road. The route I took is Mangalore - Bangalore Highway . This a partial Toll road. The toll road is very good we can travel in speed up to 140km/hr. But once it reaches sakhaleshpur the road is very bad. 30 km very bad stretch. It takes more than 2 and half hour to cover that distance.
So I suggest Mangalore- Mysore Road  via Iritty Thaliparamba or via Bylakuppe- Kushal-Nagar-Sullia - Kanhangad.

I reached my home on Saturday early morning around 2am. It took around 11 hours 30 mins. In between we stopped for 30 mins to take rest. 

Places to see in Kasaragod district.

1. Valiyparamba Back waters
2. Bekal Fort.
3. Chandragiri Fort
4. Idayilakadu
5. Guruvanam.

Also there is an old Yoga and Naturopathic Center, Kavil Bhavan Yoga and naturopathy located  at Nileshwar.

Nalanda Reort is a cheap and best place to stay.

While returning from kerala I took Mangalore- Mysore Road  via Iritty Thaliparamba. The road condition was very good , only around 4km stretch its very bad, as some road work is going on.
We cannot travel in very high speed in that road as there are lot of hairpin turn and also ghats.
Up to periyapattana we cannot travel in high speed , the average can be 45- 50 km/hr.

After reaching Periyapattana we went to Bylakuppe , which is  a famous Tibetan Settlement in India. That is a place of tourist attraction. There is a Tibetan Monastery called Golden temple and also Nunnery and lot of other Tibetan schools and establishments.

Below are some of the photos from Bylakuppe.
