Prologue :DAY 1 : July 3rd - Pilgrimage road trip :P
Bangalore-Nelmangala- Kunigal- Yediyur(temple)- Adichunchingiri(temple)- Hassan- Sakleshpur- dharmasthala(temple) : 328 km overallDAY 2 :
Dharmasthala- Mangalore- Udupi : 150km approx
Its 5am. Alarm rings. Freshened up. Packed our bags and checked out of the room by 5.45. it was still dark outside. had breakfast at a hotel nearby as we didn wanna ride in the dark. Left the hotel by 6.15. Roads from dharmasthala were decent. The plan for day-2 was to spend time in beaches of mangalore and ride along to udupi by evenin. It was a much relaxed day as we had to ride only about 150kms. So we gave as many stops as possible. Did many photography sessions. Scenery was fantabulous!! Especially the stretch near bantwal, there was a lake next to the road and we had to ride next to it for 2-3km. Water on one side and greenery on the other. It was beautiful! Took a deviation to NH13. End of ghat section. But beautiful roads again. As we entered mangalore, it began to rain heavily. We spent some time in ullal beach and panambur beach. and finally reached Kaup beach (next to surathkal beach) at around 12.30. Had lunch. Udupi was around 40km from there. So we spent lot of time at Kaup beach. reached udupi by 5pm and found ourselves a decent room. Went to the famous Krishna temple in Udupi. Finshed darshan by 6.30 and went to malpe beach and spent time there. had dinner and got back to the room. Decided to go to Kudremukh and back to blore. slept by 9 as we had to get up early. we had to cover 450km on day 3.

DAY 3 :
Udupi- Manipal- Karkala- Kudremukh- Belur- Bangalore : 470
Woke up by 3.30. checked out of the room by 4.30. headed towards karkala (50km) through manipal. Had light breakfast on our way. reached kudremukh by 10. Not much description bout the ride to kudremukh. Let the pics do the talking :P.. left kudremukh around 11. Next stop was belur for lunch. Roads were bad in some stretches. But the ghat section was beautiful with tea n coffee plantations on both sides. Reached belur around 2pm. Hogged properly in belur. Belur- Hassan stretch was kickass - Country side roads and I love riding in such roads. Hassan-bangalore was the same old boring road again. Thankfully no rain til we reached blore. Reached home by 8. Overall it was an amazing trip and loved every micrometer I rode
