Please refer my other post for detailed experience. However, purely from drive/route perspective, sharing additional information below:

1. The roads have quite dense fog in mornings. Please exercise caution. See below images from my trip on 08-Nov.

2. On Palamer section which had unscientifically made rough Concerete roads and flyovers - they road quality was better vs what I saw in Dec'23. I saw less of construction and the most of the joints are smoothened out. But one cannot be care free - so drive with caution but it will be less of pain.

3. Upto Mulbagal, highway repair work and flyover construction work started on what was a rather good 4 lane highway. So, expect diversions into service roads and getting stuck behind slow moving trucks/trailers.

4. Very important and new learning The new electric buses operated by TTD are hoot in the uphill ghat roads with all the tonnes of instant torque available from stand still. Result- they compete with other electric TTD buses and all other vehicles - so overtaking them is going to be a challenge. Please be patient.

I experienced the electric buses point - on my drive to Tirumala last week. Remembered your post and just let them pass me whenever i encountered them.
