Good Vegetarian Restaurant (Motel) on Chennai - Madurai Highway

Last week we were on our Yatra to Sabarimala from Chennai. We started around 11:00 am in Chennai and were on our way to Trichy.

As we moved some miles from Melmaruvathur .. a fine tickle started in the stomach. We were slowly pestering our chauffeur to stop by a good restaurant, which he did finally @ Adyar Anandha Bhavan (a2b) restaurant in a gas station .. just before Ulundurpet.

The food was normal. Hygeine was not great but OK compared to any highway motel.

Drop in and give your comments..

How to goto Tiruvannamalai Girivalam from Chennai

Great! You have decided to go for Girivalam. This itself will take you the next level. Annamalai is a place where one attains Mukthi with just a thought. Tiruvannamalai is 195 kms from Chennai and well connected by Road. You need to take the Kanayakumari NH till Tindivanam and take a right towards Chengi (Gingee) and proceed straight to the feet of Unnamulai Samedha Annamalaiar Temple

We had our great co-ordinators Manikandan and Asst Director V.K. Kannan (+91 93624 08984) leading from the front. We booked a Tavera (Rs 4600/-) and a Tempo Traveller (Rs 8,000/-) for twenty yatris and set for the journey. It is ideal for anyone to dump self-driving and hire a vehcile as driving back after Girivalam will be bit tough

We reached Tiruvannamalai after three hours and went to the Chakkara Theertham and started our Girivalam .. we had a darshan of Rajagopuram and stood there for a while before the large camphor

With new bitumen laid on Roads the Girivalam path mostly is good for walking. On Namah Shivaya!
