Fit the meal into your route
Fit the meal around the reporting and return times of your confirmed Periyar programme. Kumily provides a town stop for a separate meal; a resort restaurant may need an advance reservation. Check breakfast timing if your outing begins early.
Match the food stop to the day
Decide whether you need a sit-down meal, a café break or food to take away, then check the relevant outlet and serving session. Do not assume that every place serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Ask about preparation time if fitting food between booked activities.
