PS: Any improvements on the Gudalur stretch? It was pretty pretty bad this May, I saw quite a few alloy breaking potholes then. |

Cafe Coffee day in Gundlupet is a good option. It's open 24 hours. They have south Indian food also available there. The jungle lodges before bandipur forest gate is another option. The Gudalur route is in bad state currently. Better to stick to Masinagudi route itself. |

Sometimes while coming back from Ooty, Masingudi get closed for downward traffic. Hopefully should be able to make it through on the return stretch. |

How is the road from Gudalur to Theppakadu? I'd reaching Gudalur from Nilambur and would continue towards Bangalore, hence this information would be very useful. Prasad |

Theppakkadu Gudalur is average to bad. Generally there are lot of small pot holes especially towards the edges of the road. Apart from that there are 3-4 sections where the road is completely broken and has developed huge craters. And yesterday these were filled with water due to rains and I was stuck behind a slow moving lorry which made it worse. |

Most of that stretch is through Mudumalai. You are not supposed to cross 30kmph in any case. I don't mind bad roads in the jungles if that means people end up driving slowly. Before the speedbreakers came up in Bandipur, people would be driving at highway speeds through that stretch. I say, improve the roads outside the forest (Thorapalli - Gudalur stretch) and keep the jungle stretch bad.:) |

The potholes ruined the otherwise beautiful landscape. Bangalore to Ooty route took 6hrs 10mins with 2 breaks of 10 mins each. Bangalore -> Mysore -> Nanjangud -> Gundlupet -> Bandipur -> Masinagudi -> 36 Hairpin bend -> Ooty Ooty to Bangalore total time 8hrs 20 mins including breaks 3 breaks of 10 mins each Ooty -> Pykara -> Gudalur -> Theppakadu -> Bandipur -> Gundlupet -> Nanjangud -> Mysore -> Bangalore (Please avoid this road) |

Nilanjan, While agreeing to what you have said; the craters in the road would cause problems to Hatches and Sedans. Not to the rash driving buses that much as they were still speeding in whatever stretches they can manage. SUVs with diff would be right at home in that Mudhumalai stretch. I was worried whether my Punto might bottom out in a few of the potholes created. P.S : I make it a point to drive very slow and not to blow my horn inside the forest |
