Since there are many possible routes, which are a totally "NO NO" and which can be considered as travelable without adding to the extra miles(minimal)/ time. |
My comments on the routes in the order
1.Can try, Should cross the forest section before 5 pm, The road in the forest is little bad.
2.NO NO NO NO NO (Pic attached of one of the two buses still doing service on this route. Note the chassis and the footstep)
3.NO(the road from HD Kote to Kerala border is bad) Should cross the forest section before 5 pm
4.Recomended, The condition is also good as on 9th Nov 2008
5.Can try, Should cross the forest section before 5 pm
One more Update: The tender which was supposed to opened and finalised last month for the Virajpet Makuta road repair has been cancelled for the 4th time
