Udhagamandalam is in western Tamil Nadu, on the Salem–Coimbatore side of the state. Chennai drops go through Salem and Villupuram or via Krishnagiri on NH48, and Bangalore is often closer than you'd think by the Hosur road. The last stretch to Udhagamandalam is a ghat road, so we send drivers who do hill driving regularly and keep the speed sensible on the hairpins.
