Road Condition in Munnar

mdmahesh · 23rd September 2008, 19:08

I am planning to drive from bangalore to munnar. I have read all the travelogues and queries from TBHP forum. Some of friends said , road in munnar is too narrow and currently due to rain it may be tough to drive.

Any recent travellers to munnar can suggest current condition.

I had gone to Munnar on 10 sep.That time it was raining heavily..If you the type of guy who loves to be in rain, it shouldn't matter.Roads are ok.Not at all bad.. From Udumalpet to Munnar (around 80 kms), it passes through the forest, and are narrow but is not at all an issue in driving in decent speeds. Try calling up some hotel in Munnar about the climate.
Plan to go through Bhavani, Dharapuram route for Udumalai as the roads are excellent and that way you can avoid Tiruppur.
