Correction - Coorg/Kudagu is district; ideally most ppl would stay at Madikeri, the biggest town. If you start little early as 5:00 AM, do the following circuit & you'll be Thankful you did...

Ooty - Mudumalai - Gudalur - Bathery - Mananthavady - Kutta - Gonikoppal - Virajpet - Madikeri; bewarned roads are shattered after Kutta; but don't let that deter this road; it's mind blowing!!!

day 6 GOKARANA - DEVANAGRE

It's Davangere; Not sure if you can do this in one day since it covers Sirsi; I could be wrong too

You can easily do Davangere - Chennai in one day

Net net, you can save 2 days from Chennai - Munnar & Davangere - Chennai & can utilize that for some other destination

Chinnar? Chinnar near Krishnagiri?

has any one done that route before??

and another doubltful area is should i go ooty - kodagu without going mysore ..thats ooty - sultan batery - kodagu ( coorg)
but i had heard the road to mysore via bandipur forest is awesome

I did munnar to udumalaipet via chinnar.. the roads are good.

Ooty - Mysore - Coorg I would suggest if you have time, I dont think you will miss much as most of the route will be similar. Maybe if you are lucky, instead of stopping at a "zebra crossing" you will have to stop for "elephant or deer crossing".

And like aargee said Chennai - Munnar and Devangere - Chennai can be done in a day if you are up for it.

Always have extra time to fall back on.

actualy i will be starting by friday afternoon directly from office at around 2:30 - 3..so i thought it wil be better to climb ghats early morning rather than doing it late night after travelling around 500kms after office

yes , even we were thinking along the same lines,
for devanagere to chennai.But thought of adding a freakout at bangalore , so added a halt there.

hi, can i know which lock you are using for securing the bike when you go for trips?
I am feeling a bit insecure , about keeping the bike at some place and roaming around, so i thought i will buy the one that you are using.

Thanks in advance.
