Day 3 started with a nice misty morning but continued with disappointment. Bikes aren't allowed in Nagerhole or for that matter, any national parks in Karnataka except Bandipur, which is a national highway.

Proceeded to ooty via Tholpetaa National Park and Pykara. Nice scenic drive and noticeably, very few speed breakers unlike Karnataka

Day 3

Day 3 started with a nice misty morning but continued with disappointment. Bikes aren't allowed in Nagerhole national park or any other national park in Karnataka, except Bandipur which is a national highway. This information is not known even among locals.

Then proceed to Ooty via Tholpetaa National Park and Pykara. Nice scenic drive and noticeably with fewer speed breakers unlike Karnataka.

Enjoyed the evening. See the photos
