12 days trip across 6 South Indian states

[white walker]

 

Hello folks!

 

I'm planning for a trip next month and looking for best route and stay suggestions.

 

Hyderabad -> Goa -> Murudeshwar -> Udupi -> Wayanad -> Ooty -> Mysore -> Hyderabad

 

Anyone who did the same trip before, please share your experience and number of days.

 

I want to explore hidden jewels in each of these locations, please share if any.

 

I'm feeling excited for my trip and eagerly waiting to share my experience with you all here.

 

Best Regards!

Hyderabad to Goa roads are bad. 

 

Ooty will be overcrowded during weekends. So plan in such a way that you reach Ooty during weekday. 

• Muzhappilangad Beach, drive-in  beach. You can drive on the beach. 
• Attirapally waterfalls 
• Alappuza
• Munnar
• Chikmagalur 

If possible skip Goa and the above places to your list.

I've been to Munnar, so want to try waynad this time and return back to Hyd via ooty-Mysore-Bangalore. I don't think i can cover Alappuzha and Attirapally waterfalls in this route[emoji45]

You guys are now making me rethink about drive to Goa. How bad are the roads and what stretch? I think it will be the same condition if I skip Goa and head to Murudeshwar directly.

Usually , Hyderabad to Goa roads are bad. 
Recent rains made the situation degrade further. 

No need to worry, it will be more time taking. 
Drive time is around 14 hours, so plan accordingly. 
Start at 4AM in the morning, you can comfortable reach Goa by late evening. 

Hyderabad to Kalaburgai is good, from there you will come across speed bumps, potholes, village traffic.

Avoid Ooty during weekends, Waynadu is known for accommodations. Book a decent home stay/ resort. 
Not worth more than a single day.

Muzhappilangad Beach, drive-in  beach. You can drive on the beach. 

How safe is that to drive in sea water? Salt water is highly corrosive. Any precautions to take before entering into the shore? Are there any car wash garage nearby beach? My car doesn't have underbody sheild.
