    Interesting places around Bangalore-Goa stretch

    Folks,

    I have been touring in and around Kerala and Tamil Nadu for quite some time now. I would like to move to the Bangalore-Goa stretch. There seems to be a lot of interesting places on that as well as the western ghats. If any of you know of such places, please share with us. We would like to know about all the places there and target them one at a time. The area we are talking about is clearly shown in the map.

    Do share information such as:
    1. Name of the place
    2. Type: such as hill station, forest, etc.
    3. Specific locations in that destination that must not be missed
    4. Distance from known location such as Bangalore
    5. Road conditions
    6. Fuel availability
    7. Cost of stay: cheap, moderate, expensive
    8. Availability of food



    Please help. Thanks in advance!

      nice thread me wanted to open a similar thread...

      never ridden on this stretch but will share a litt;e knaan.

      chennai-bangs-kemmangundi-350+250 kms(riding time(arnd 12 hrs with breaks for pics)

      Kemmangundi -agumbe (3 hrs - not sure abt kms)

      agumbe - Kodachadri(4hrs)

      Kodachhadri - Jog falls - honavar beach - gokarma - karvar - Goa.

      while coming back take the west coast rd through mangalore, Coorg and back home.

      I guess PKM, santoosh and the bangi guys can be of greater help

        So, finally, the compass is slowly pointing towards North!

        @Bangalore guys: Looking forward to your inputs.
        All men dream, but not equally. Those that dream at night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act upon their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. - T. E. Lawrence
