Hi Roy,

Thanks & Regards

I did my visit to this place today. So, just an update to the route and distance.
1. Bangalore - Hosur - Rayakottai - Palakodu - Penagaram - Hoggenakkal - 170Kms
2. Bangalore - Attebelle - Mathigiri - Denkanikottai - Anchetty - Hoggenakkal - 130Kms. (Unless you are equipped with off-road capabilities dont try this )

Is the 2nd route that bad? What vehicle did you drive? A travelogue on that route would be good with details of the bad patches !!

Till Thenkanikottai roads are good. After that the Ghat section. Its drivable, except some patches and hair pins. But after you cross the, I guess, Nattrampalayam, there are no roads in that forest that crosses and reaches Hogenekkal almost for 10-12Kms. Infact after Anchetti roads are bad.

I could not post the full details yesturday since I was dead tired after the visit. Will post the travelogue soon.

Oops. I thought of updating the route & distance discussion and it ended up to look like that
