Route: Bangalore-Mysore-Gundlupet-Gopalaswamy Betta-Gudalur-Vazhikadavu-Edakkara-Karulai-Mannarkkad-Mukkali-Aanaikatti-Coimbatore-karamadai-Dhayanur-Geddai-Manjoor-Ooty-Masinagudi
Bangalore-Gundlupet: Good roads Overall.
Gundlupet-Gopalaswamy betta-Gudalur: Gundlupet to Gopalapura, good roads. Entry to Gopalaswamy betta will soon be closed for public. One needs to take a Govt Jeep/Minibus to the top henceforth, like a safari. The ticket counter and parking is ready. Once the amenities like a small restaurant and Restrooms are built, the rule will come int effect. Rules have become very strict in this sector. even cattle grazing is banned in the fringes of the forest too. In all probablity(According to the forest official on duty) the rules can come into existence in another 2 or may be 3 months. Theppakadu to Thorapalli, roads are horrible for cars.
Gudalur to Vazhikadavu: Just brilliant from Nadaguni to Vazhikkadavu, Saves almost 50% of time than what it was few months back.
Vazhikkadavu-Edakkara-Sirulai-Mannarkkad: Overall Good roads, very narrow for most parts of it.
Mannarkkad-Mukkalli -Anaikatti : Mannarkkad-Mukkalli : good Forest roads. from Mukkali roads become a bit bumpy and the condition remains so till you reach coimbatore.
Coimbatore-Karmadai-Mulli-Manjoor-Ooty: Traffic prone, CBE to Karamadai. Once you take diversion for Karamadai, its very lonely good roads. From Dhayanur, roads start to deteriorate a bit, might slower the speeds for people driving. This condition is almost the same till you reach geddai. From Geddai its just good Roads good roads and good roads throughout till ooty.
Ooty-Masinagudi-Bangalore : Overall Good roads.
