I decided to move some of the info I had previously put on the Ooty page on access roads into the Nilgiris District onto a new page. This will help other towns in the Nilgiris to also link to this information. (Coonoor, Kotagiri, Gudalur, Ketti, Wellington, Manjur etc. ) The real reason I have created this page is to try and document the history of these remarkable roads which I really regard as major engineering feats for their time. To start off with however, I have simply posted thorough route information on these roads as even this is hard to find in India. Petkows 13:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)petkowsReply

Am quiet sceptical about the arvenu bandishola link. Even if it is there , it is not motorable. ---Ninoopauls

The Aravenu Bandishola link is motorable, but as with most roads in the Nilgiris is in fairly poor condition. The road links a number of Badaga hathis and has a medium level of traffic including busses and lorries transporting tea, however they do not utilise this as a through road, but rather as a link to Coonoor or Kotagiri. In the past, during periods of the main Coonoor Mettupalayam Ghat road being closed, many motorists from Coonoor used to the Coonoor to Bandishola to Aravenu to Mettupalayam route to the plains rather then the longer route from Coonoor to Kotagiri to Aravenu to Mettupalayam.

The link to the wiki article on Manjur in Ramanathapuram district is the wrong one as the Manjur on the Karamadai-Manjur road is a different one and is in Coimbatore district only. Please remove the link. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sets/d_momaya 14:47, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Dhaval Momaya.Reply
