Trip to Kumbakonam, Thiruvengadu and Echangudi between 22 and 24th December 2019
On December 22nd, we started our road trip to Kumbakonam We started from Bangalore @ 6 am and Reached Chengam at 9.20 am. there we got some flowers through a known farmer/Friend. First stop @ Thapovanam @ 11.30 am- Gnannanda Thapovanam on Thiruvannamalai thirukovilur road close to thirukovilur. Nice serene place Second stop @ Manampoondi uttarathi mutt(Madhwa mutt). It was a Ekadesi so no food was available at the uthradi mutt. From there we drove to Kumbakonam via Thirukovilur, Ulundurpet, Virudhachalam and reached Kumbakonam via Neelathanallur road. there are not many hotels enroute which serves decent meals especially vegetarain food, so packing some rice would be wise. We stayed at Diamond Hotel. For the past two times we have been staying @ Diamond. New hotel. For a family of 5 with two kids, you get a four bedroom hotel. Hotel is at the center and most of the temples and restaurants are walkable. The Hotel doesn't have a restaurant so you have a lot of choices. ...
