1000km of Solitude - A South India Odyssey

Every now & then, I tend to get a jolt which shakes me from my high perch & forces me to take a road less traveled.

With a host of furious fancies
Whereof I am the commander,
With a burning spear and a horse of air
To the wilderness I wander.

...By a knight of ghosts and shadows
I summoned am to tourney
Ten leagues beyond the wide world's end,
Methinks it is no journey.

--- from "Tom O'Bedlam" (Anonymous)

For the restless souls like me who would be more interested in the route details than the story board; route details indicated below... (click to enlarge / download)

Was hoping to complete the 1000km milestone by attempting the Ooty - Agali - Mannarkad (Silent Valley) - Palaghat - Pollachi section. But that would have left folks @ home fuming. Hope to do it sometime. Route indicated below:
