Manjoor-Ooty Via Love Dale

Manjoor-Katteri junction to go to Coonor or coimbatore

We started from Coimbatore towards Ooty Mettupalayam Road. At Karamadai town take a left towards velliyankadu, Pillor Dam road. From Velliyankadu its Forest and you have to pass to check post. One at Velliyankadu and another at Mulli. From Mulli its dense forest and you must be very careful facing animals. The road is normal walk path of elephants. Avoid ride after 6 PM and beofre morning 6 AM.Also take necessary tools for bike or car repair. Once you passed Veliyankadu next help sport is Manjoor.

From Manjoor you can go to Upper Bhavani(35km). And from Manjoor you have two routes to Ooty via love dale and another one through Yeakkadu(you can also cover Avalanche). Almost same distance but the up and down way to Avalanche power house is extra.
