Hi Folks,

This one is sceanic but bit dangerous road, hope below details and video might help you to prepare and alert before you start.

Ooty, the Queen of Hills in the Indian subcontinent, in the Nilgiris district is connected through five ghat roads. Most of the Nilgiris district is located in the Nilgiri Hills, which is part of the Western Ghats. The ghats roads to the district pass through forests and steep slopes and contain a number of sharp hair-pin bends. The major five ghat roads to the district are: Ooty-Kotagiri Ghat Road, Coonoor Ghat Road, Gudalur Ghat Road, Sigur Ghat Road, and Manjur Ghat Road.

Kalhatti Ghat Road is one of the roads that leads to the Nilgiris district in Tamil Nadu from Mudumalai Tiger Reserve and Bandipur Tiger Reserve in southern India. It is one of most dangerous roads in the Nilgiris district: infamous for fatal road accidents. Bandipur National Park and the Tiger Reserve is in contiguous stretch in the state of Karnataka in southern India borders with Mudumalai Tiger Reserve.

Kalhatti Road, or Steep Ghat Road, or Sigur Ghat (State Highway 67: Mudumalai – Kalhatti – Ooty) is part of the National Highway 67 terminates in Gudulur where it joins onto National Highway 212 towards Gundlupet. There is a short cut-branch off the Gudalur ghat at Theppakadu in Mudumalai, this route via Kalhatty on the Masinagudi Road saves about 30 km and has 36 hairpin bends, and it is the shortest and quickest route from Ooty to Mudumalai National Park.

Out of 36 hairpin bends on the 30-km road, eight hairpin bends are considered very dangerous for vehicles travelling downhill. In 2018, five tourists were killed after their car rolled down into a gorge at the 35th hairpin bend on the road
