    I like visiting Tamil Nadu, especially Trichi and sorrounding places. As a fan of Kalki I've read 'Ponniyin Selvan' about 5/6 times and in part 2 he practically takes us to 'kodikkarai'. I know the place is probably not same as it was depicted in the novel but i always wanted to visit there and experience 'back to the future'!. Can anybody tell me how can I get there, from Trichi town? How far is it? is it possible to visit within a day?

    Vankv: Kodikkarai is in Nagappattinam District. It is probably less than 100 miles from Trichy near Vedaranyam. Take a car and take this route : Trichy-Tanjore- Tiruvarur- Tiruthuraipoondi-Vedaranyam-Kodikkarai. I was there in 1969. The last Tsunami washed away Chola period monuments from what I read. Still, it is a place to be visited. Have fun!

    There are other routes. You could go to Nagapattinam by train from Trichy and rent a car.

    கோடிக்கரை இன்னும் அதிகம் மாறவில்லை. கோவில் இன்னும் இருக்கிறது. வரப்போகும் ஆடி அமாவாசை என்று எக்கசக்கமான கூட்டம் சமுத்திர ஸ்நானம் செய்ய வருவார்கள் என்பதால் ஒருவேளை பாதை எல்லாம் கூட சீர்படுத்தப்பட்டு இருக்க சான்ஸ் இருக்கிறது. திருச்சியில் இருந்து வேதாரண்யத்துக்கு நேரடி பஸ் இருக்கிறது. இனி வரப்போவது மழைக்காலம் என்பதால் கால நேரத்தைக் கணக்கிட்டுக் கொண்டு பயணிப்பது நல்லது. வாத்தியாரையா சொன்ன இரண்டுமே சரியான ரூட்ஸ் தான் !

    Thank you very much, Rajraj & Madhu for your information. I will certainly visit there next time. We went upto Thiruvaarur by bus from Trichi in 1995. Hopefully I will have some like-minded people to enjoy the journey.

    I forgot to mention that kalki grew up in a hamlet near MaNalmedu about 10 miles from Mayavaram (now Mayiladuthurai). If you are such an ardent fan of Kalki you might want to visit his native place. I don't know whether there is a memorial there. Instead of going to Tiruvarur from Tanjore you go to Mayiladuthurai, visit his village and proceed to Tiruvarur from Mayiladuthurai. There are reasonably good hotels in Kumbakonam, Mayiladuthurai and other towns in Tanjore(old) district. Staying overnight should not be a problem. Have fun !

    Hotels in Kumbakonam are better than hotels in Mayiladuthurai.
