as they say we can go from banglore-mysore-madikeri-kushalnagar-sulya-kukke subramanya and from there to dharmasthala and please do tell the total distance on each of these roads to dharmasthala.  |
@ Twisted soul:U can take Bangalore- Magadi(Take right near Magadi KSRTC bus Depot,Connects to NH48)-Yediyur-C.R.Ptna- Hassan-Sakleshpura-gundya checkpost-Dharmasthala-Gundya-Shiribagilu-Subramanya and back .The road conditions are not bad but have to be very careful. Since there is road widening project going on on hassan road ,Dont take Nelamangala-yediyur road.U would be taking around 2.5 hours or more just to reach yediyur,where as magadi route u can reach in less than 1.5 hours. I would seriously suggest u not to take Madkeri-somvarpet-shanivarsanthe route as there are no roads after sanivarsanthe. ur bike will take a serious beating. Besides this there are no mechanic or puncture repair shop once you leave shanivarsanthe till subramanya.
Bangalore- Dharmasthala=300kms
Dharmasthala- Subramanya=80ms
Subramanya - Bangalore=280kms
The route that u have quoted, banglore-mysore-madikeri-kushalnagar-sulya-kukke subramanya is way too long and the roads are also not that good(I dont know how it is now,i had done it an year back).
