Hours of flat highway before the road turns upward. Save something for the climb — it comes right at the end of a long day.

Mostly smooth
Chennai to Dindigul is mostly smooth highway riding, while the Batlagundu–Kodaikanal ghat becomes narrower and more technical, with hairpin bends, climbs and occasional rough patches. Extra caution is recommended during monsoon and low-visibility conditions.
