Ride to Nilgiris via Geddai: Route details & check-posts encountered

There's a check-post after Mettupalayam where they were verifying the e-pass.

BHPian Ketan recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

So, I had a plan to enter Nilgiris via Geddai route. As per what I read is there are some 3 check posts on this route up the mountains. They usually don't allow folks to drive/ride up from this route, I have heard/read the resistance is more towards KL vehicles.

I was talking to the folks where I have booked my stay in Manjoor in case if they don't allow me to ride up via Manjur-Geddai-Mulli road, then they need to help me.

However, as it happens a many times and it's a kind of fun in its way! I couldn't make it to this route in time and had to travel via Mettupalayam-Ooty road. Stayed one night at Ooty, I was trying to enter the crowded town of Ooty altogether on this ride but I had to.

There's a check-post after Mettupalayam where they were verifying the e-pass. Since it was too much of traffic on this route, they just asked me if you have one and let me go without checking it.

I have returned from Majoor-Geddai-Mulli route. The very first check post while descending down, at Geddai dam is the one who asked me for the e-pass and driving license. The person sitting there took a real good time to check both of these. He even mentioned some details off the license, including guardians name over to his register before letting me go. Second one was probably Mulli checkpost and third one was way towards Athikadavu, may be TN border police check post!!

Such a beautiful route it is!!
