I was intrigued by the infamous Anmod ditch so I clicked a few pics here to document it. It is indeed a monster. This is not a ditch that can be taken at slow speed. The drop is too much and it WILL hit even at crawling speed. My A-Star took a hit as well - 170mm GC and lightly loaded. It all depends on the approach.

Easy - it is at the turn to Doodhsagar Jungle Resorts.

Set Doodhsagar Jungle resorts as a stop on Gmaps and watch out for the deviation from the main road to identify the spot.

Without the above, it is not easy to identify the location. I witnessed many sudden braking incidents during my recee - it scared even the likes of XUV700, XUV500, Hector and an Endy. The 500 kicked up quite some dust while braking but none of them got a hit.

There are 3 points of interest:

Look for annotation in the images:

Notice the Doodhsagar Jungle Resorts board on the left:

Notice the marks on the concrete edge and the broken car parts visible:

This spot is in a densely forested area with significant rain and truck traffic. The optimal approach will change with time so best to walk it out of required.
