way by the alternative Sighur Ghat road with its spectacular 36-hairpin hill. A one-way
taxi from Ooty to Theppakadu should be ?1000.
Buses between Ooty and Mysore go via Gudalur and stop at Theppakadu (?45, three
hours from Ooty). Smaller buses that can manage the Sighur Ghat road run from Ooty to
Masinagudi (?10, 1½ hours, eight daily). Local buses run every two hours between Masin-
agudi and Theppakadu (?5); shared jeeps also ply this route for ?10 per person if there are
enough passengers, or you can have one to yourself for about ?100. Costs are similar for
jeeps between Masinagudi and Bokkapuram.
