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.

Kodaikanal
Kodaikanal in TamilNadu is one of the best hill station in TN. Kodaikanal is exactly 440Kms from electronic city. Shortest route is thru Palani its 65kms from Palani.
Route : Electronic City -> Hosur -> Krishnagiri -> Dharmapuri -> Salem -> Bhavani -> Perundurai -> Dharapuram -> Palani -> Kodaikanal.
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 :)
Main spots we visited : Cockers walk, Pillar Rock, fairy falls, Green Valley(Suicide point), Guna Caves, View Point, Pine Plantation
