496 is the exact km from my home at Whitefield to my parents home @ chalakudy. :) Where exactly was your destination ? Looks like you took the route very sedately and that is reflected on your FE. |

Note that at the bottom left corner, Google Maps routes you through some not-so-ideal roads; the route most of us here prefer is via the outskirts of Idappadi town. |

But it doesn't make sense to take this route while going as it is slightly slower. |

Hi T-BHPians, need some help with the following route : Hunsur-Nagarhole forest- Kutta-Thirunelli. We want to go to Kutta from Hunsur by crossing Nagarhole forest as shown in the map. In very early morning. My doubts are : 1. Google maps, by default, shows the route as Hunsur-Gonikoppa-Kutta (and not through Nagarhole forest). Is the forest route closed? If its open, how's the road condition now. I have done this route in 2014 and road inside forest was patchy & potholed. 2. We (me & 2 friends, all guys) are planning to start at night from Bangalore and reach forest gates at 6-00 AM (thats the time the gates open I guess). Which means we need to cover from Hunsur to the forest gates at 4-00 AM / 5-00 AM. Is the route safe to travel at that time? 3. Why google maps isn't depicting Nagarhole forest in green color in the maps? All forests are usually sown in green. stupid: this is bugging me |

1. Did you do the google search now? The forest road is closed from 6pm-6am. So if you search with the 'Leave Now option' in this time window, it is going to route through Gonikoppa-Kutta, which is open at night also. If you chose the leave at say 6am in maps, it will route you through the forest. I think the road condition will be similar to 2014. I don't recall it being relaid recently (May be wrong though, I have not personally take this route) |
2. 5am should be fine. Don't think you need to be worried-especially since it is an all guys gang. |
3. Interesting point. Not sure why. Definitely used to show green earlier. Maybe some temporary glitch?The forest is still definitely there. :) |

One of them would be the Gundlupet - Muthanga - Bathery route. GMaps routes it through Gudalur. It has been so for a long time. Not sure why. The route via Muthanga is open and perfectly fine. |
