I would like to answer my own question.. the route is now very good till the end point where u can drive.. it's not very steep but yes it is curvy..the road is completely made without a single pothole till you park your car and take forest vehicle for further route.. Now when you board govt vehicle for ride to 3 points the road are not well. But since u just have to sit and enjoy the beautiful nature , you should be least bothered.

The reservoir of the dam is spread over a length of nearly 11 km. The dam is at a distance of 2+ hrs drive from Ooty. There is a TNEB guest-house there. The reservoir extends into Avalanchi Forest Reserve. A eco-tourism drive by the Forest department takes you to the upper-end of the reservoir (actually, shows you the origin of the Bhavani river). Both of these locations are different, approached differently, and hours of drive away from each other.

The answer above is absolutely correct. The per-head fees is Rs 250/-, and an additional fees for cameras and video-cameras; phone cameras are not charged. I would suggest reaching by 9 am. The first organised bus trip starts at 9-30 am. Buses run every 30-min till 4 pm. It takes about 2 hrs for a full trip. There is no way to turn back half-way, unless you meet a returning bus and return (this is to be pre-warned regarding emergencies)

Ooty temperature is around 27°C on a sunny day in the shade. Sun can be scorching - carry sun-screen (SPF 30 will suffice). Thunderstorms have started, and will continue through June. The normal time of occurrence is mid-day to afternoon. During the rain, temperature drops to 21°C, if there is no wind. Wind-chill factor of 2-5°C applies with wind-speed. Other than weather (it's far better than the weather in the plains), Ooty is horribly crowded just now - just about everybody from the plains can be seen on the week-ends. Weekdays are more manageable. Getting around by road can be taxing on the nerves - sometimes, it takes 2 hrs to cover 7 km on the main road (NH181). Outside of Ooty is comfortable - even to attractions.

Cabs can bi arranged by the hotel. One full day for ooty local tour which includes beautiful places like botanical Garden, visit to tea factory nd Dodabatta which is really good. Day 2 can be Pykara falls boating at pykara lake nd pine forest. Amazing places. For pykara trip charges are v nominal i think 1300 or so for sedan

Every Chance it will be raining now. Temperatures are between 23 high and 20 low.

no..At Avalanche eco tourism check post after parking your vehicle you will be shifted to their vehicle as you huy ticket that Mahinda van will take you till the lake
