- Enter Palghat town and take the road towards ottapalam. After you cross Ottapalam, the next major point is Shornur and then wadakanchery. This road many be approximately 20 km more compared the NH. Watchful about taking left turn towards Shornur at Vaniyakulam . The straight road goes to Pattambi and Guruvayur.
- You can avoid palghat town and continue in NH-47. Take a right turn at alathur junction towards alathur town. Continue towards pazhayannur, chellakara and then wadakanchery.
