Palani
Palani in TamilNadu is a holy place which gave us an unholy feeling. It was the worst place were worship has become a real business, we could find the priests literally asking for money and the exact dialogue was give money for the gods. entering Palani we have to take 30rs ticket for cars, from there on u can find many agents who will misguide u for sure, they approach as though they r helping us and later on ditch u.
If going to palani, dont listen to any one who approaches u, directly park the vehicle,and take the winch to go up, if using stairs u will meet atleast 10 priests asking you to give money. For all the offerings made,money is being charged by the priests, on top of the fixed amount set for the offerings.
Reaching palani --- palani is exactly 375 km from electronic city, Head straight on the hosur road, Hosur -> Krishnagiri -> Dharmapuri -> salem -> Bhavani -> Perunthurai(Take left from NH47 at Perunthurai) -> Dharapuram -> Palani.

Palani -> Kodaikanal route is excellent u can really enjoy the scenic beauty, out of the 64 kms 50kms is Ghats road and its an excellent drive. On the way you can get a Dam also :)
Reaching Kodaikanal you will find hundreds of people to guide u, Better avoid them all, there are a number of Hotels and resorts in kodaikanal, as its a small place its easy to find them out.
One of the best thing there is almost all the tourist spots are on the same route,that too within 15Kms span.
Best is to stay near the kodaikanal lake, you can enjoy a bicycle ride around the lake, and enjoy Boating.
From the lake take the road towards right and on the way u will find all the Spots, and just follow the road and it will take a full round and u will reach the Lake again :)

Hoganakkal
Hoganakkal In Tamil Nadu is a beautiful water falls,140kms from e-City, Bangalore. There you find the famous bamboo boats and can go beneath the falls... its a very good place to visit, you will get fresh fried fish to eat at the shore. The boats generally costs Rs 750/-, The best route to follow is .... Reach Hosur from Ec, after the hosur bus stand take a right to the Royakotta road, head straight to Royakotta ... then reach palakkode and from palakkode to hoganakkal.
The place is also reachable from Salem.. via Dharmapuri. while going from EC dont take the Krishnagiri route as you will have to pay Tolls and also travel 40 kms extra. :)
We have already visited the place 4 times and still feel to go there again, the place is too good, to this place the transportation is not at all a problem as there are so many Tamil Nadu state buses in this route, you ca get the bus from Hosur, Krishnagiri, and if coming from salem you get the bus at Dharmapuri. There is a bus directly from bangalore and it passes EC by 6:30am
