Nilambur – Mysore Route (Distance 155 kilometers): Nilambur - Vazhikkadavu check post-Gudalur-Mudumalai-Bandipur-Gundlupet-Mysore. Keep in mind that, there is a travel restriction at Bandipur during 6 pm and 6 am. The road through the tiger reserve is closed to vehicular traffic during night time. So plan your trip accordingly. You can also go to Ooty by taking a right deviation from Gudalur.
For visiting Ooty on your return leg from Mysore, take left deviation from Masinagudi. 
Road condition in Kerala up to Vazhikkadavu is o.k., the roads in T.N and rest of Karnataka are excellent with good surfacing especially in Mudumalai , Bandipur wildlife
