Day 1: Bangalore-Bidadi-Maddur-KM Doddi-Malavalli-Kollegal-Kunagalli-Honganuru-BR Hills-Kgudi-Nagavalli-Chamarajanagar-Gundlupet-Bandipur-Masinagudi-Ooty-Kodanad View Point-Ooty:
Bangalore-Maddur: Good roads overall.
Maddur-Malavalli: Road widening in progress, though few sections are open for usage and diversions exist.
Malavalli-Kollegala: Good two lane roads.
Kollegala-Kunagalli-Honganuru-BR Hills: Bad roads from Kollegala to Honganuru. From checkpost, roads are good.
BR Hills-Kgudi-Nagavalli: Good forest roads throughout. However road humps exist once you descend, which may be harsh if you are at higher speeds.
Nagavalli-Chamarajnagar-Gundlupet: Broken section at many places on this stretch. Not a stretch for consistent speeds
Gundlupet-Bandipur-Masinagudi-Ooty: Good roads overall. Small section just after Masinagudi still in same bad state. A big relief is that Sandynulla to Ooty is relaid. The forest checkpost operates from 6 AM to 9PM.
Day 2 : Ooty-Emerald Dam-Manjoor-Geddai-Mulli-Agali-Mannarkkad-Parali-Kuzhalmannam-Nemmara
Ooty to Manjoor: Very good ghat roads.
Manjoor-Thaishola-Melkundah: Initial stretch is wide and neatly marked. After that its average (or may be above average) estate road.
Manjoor-Geddai-Mulli: Good roads overall but pretty narrow. Wildlife movement area. Certain sections are relaid and in good shape.The Mulli Checkpost operates from 6AM to 6PM on both, Ooty and Thavalm Routes.
Mulli-Elachivazhy-Thavalam Attappadi: Till about 4 kms from Mulli checkpost roads are very bad. After its decent single lane roads with undulations and depressions. Not a high speed stretch. One can get confused as there are very few signboards and quite a lot of diversions. Whatever exists are all in Malayalam.
Attappadi-Silent Valley-Mannarkkad: Silent Valley is in bad shape. Innumerable potholes that can destablilise the vehicle. Infact the front wheel of a bus got inside a big pothole and got stuck. Finally it was pulled using a JCB, during which traffic had piled up on either side.
Mannarkkad-Mundur-Parali-Kuzhalmannam-Alathur-Nemmara: Till you hit NH47 roads are narrow but traffic free, after Mundur. The route can be a bit confusing too.
