Plan on about 24 h 55 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 17 h 48 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹4,370, 3-axle ₹5,650, 4–6 axle ₹7,055, 7+ axle ₹8,350 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Munnar to Visakhapatnam toll is the same ~₹1,280 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Munnar's state price.
Fees are revised every 1 April and some plazas change mid-year, so treat results as a close estimate. Spotted a wrong fee or a missing plaza? Tell us — we fix reported errors within 72 hours and log them on our corrections page.
