Welcome onboard Sailaja.

I would suggest the following plan:

Day 1:

• Hyderabad > Bangalore > Mysuru 
• Stay at Mysuru for the night
• Day 1 is going to be little hectic, Start early in the morning at 5AM

Day 2:

• Mysuru > Bandhipur > Ooty
• Visit Mysuru place by 9AM in the morning.
• Palace opens at 10 AM, crowd will be on lower side. 
• Drive down to Bandhipur, do a forest safari. 
• You can easily spot deer and elephants 
• Once safari is done drive down to Ooty

 

Day 3:

• Ooty local exploration

Don't visit Coorg in summer.  It is like any-other city. On the up side resorts are cheap in summer. 

 

Also for Ooty visit, try to reach Ooty on a weekday. It is have less crowd. 

Summer holidays + weekend is a dangerous combo. Plan accordingly. 

Bangalore to Mysuru road will have high traffic. Keep safe distance and drive cautiously.

You can refer my Travelogue for Bangalore Mysore Ooty  : 

 

Please be Noted that Bandipur is closed between 9:00 P:M and 6:00 A:M 

Gudalur route is bit safer than 36 hair pin road and also longer distance 

Expect fair amount of traffic on ghat sections and here G Maps helped us a lot where it was showing distance the on coming vehicle in opposite direction is 

Do try to Visit Himavad Gopala Swamy Betta on the Way to Ooty from Mysore  - Around 10 km from Gundlupete , it falls towards right before Bandipur forest while heading to Ooty from Mysore .

Wishing you a Happy Journey

We did Hyderabad to Coorg in one single leg around 7 years back, started early around 4 am and reached Coorg by evening before dark. Followed below route:

 

Hyderabad -> Anantour -> Doddaballapura (this bypass BLR and  connects you to the Mysoor Higway) ->  NICE Ring Road -> Mysuru -> Coorg

 

Till Doddaballapura it was a non stop drive after that we took many break for lunch and evening tea. We covered most places in Coorg, Golden Temple (a bit far), Elephant Camp (again a short drive away).

Coorg is too hot summer. My suggest is to visit only Ooty and skip Coorg.
