There is no road from Glenmorgan to Masinagaudi other than the regular road via Kalhatti. There is only a winch for Tamilnadu Electricity Board employees from Glenmorgan to Moyar Power House.
There is NO road as shown by Google Maps.

Google can get you in trouble in places like these.
That winch is restricted to travel by only TNEB employees. Public not allowed. In yesteryears, one could always talk sweetly & get in.
There is a TN state run lodge for stay in Theppakadu.
You can yourself see in the Satellite Images the winch - and that is where the G maps has drawn it as "Singara Rd". Ley me tell you how G Maps works:
1. They have lots of fools turning on their locations in their phones
2. G Maps tracks those who have turned on their locations
3. The employees of TNEB commute daily on this winch
4. They have their locations turned on in their phones
5. G Maps spies on them, sees them "driving" daily on this "route"
6. It sees their speed is >10 kmph, so it concludes they are on a vehicle, and hence, the "road"
7. Some johnnies in G Maps look at the "track" images, sees the path of the winch, concludes it is a road
8. They draw it as a road,. christens it "Singara Rd".
It is one of the steepest winches in the world at 40 or 45 Degree gradient. This is a restricted area. Driving/ riding/ cycling is strictly prohibited.
One can examine the images in Satellite and conclude the same. One can also see the sluice pipes carrying water down to the power house running parallel to the winch.
What if there's heavy rains in the Nilgiris. Do the roads still remain in good shape, at least the stretch from Pykara to Glenmorgan?

Road to Glenmorgan rarely gets disrupted due to rains.
