This ride I had done during my brother's marriage in November 2014. Have already done rides through charmadi and Kudremukh, thought I will give a try through Bisle ghat.
My friends have been warned about the road condition, however I did not care much. Also I had a love for off roads. But the thing about Bisle ghat is that its not really a proper road nor it is offroad!! The road is not completely gone makes it bumpy all through the distance of about more than 50km! and all through that 50km I had to ride for about 20-30kmph speed
. Another worst thing is that there will be absolutely no vehicle at all on that route, nor does people! and there is a scare of naxals activity. Lucky me my bike didn't gave up anywhere in the middle of the forest!!
Here is the video.
The feel of riding home is one of the best you will ever have. And that too for two week holday!! This is the third time i am going by bike and this time it is for the occassion of brother's marriage. I feel for my mom who always get scared of my rides but too sweet to say no! So i started on 29th Nov early morning exactly at 5. My hand gloves were torn but with last min hurry i did not get time to buy a new one. But there was a added advantage of it which i will tell later
With all the bangalore weather changed to chilly cold, it was a bliss to start the ride. For the first few minutes i was shivering but my body got accustomed to it soon. Sun did not come up even after i rode for around 40 km's in mangalore - bangalore highway.
Bangalore to hassan is a boring route if you dont have a super bike! so when i get bored and nothing else to see i would look up! and there was a amazing sky that day!
Some lake on the way.
Took this route,
Bangalore - Chennarayapatna - Shanivara santhe - Bisle ghat - Subrahmanya - Mangalore
Once i crossed shanivara santhe it was all green route.
I dont know what fruit is this but it looked nice! The added advantage of gloves were nothing but to use my touch screen phone without removing it
Forest route started.
Weather was bit sunny so didn't feel the heat much. The route was full of villages and it was pleasure to ride. But once i crossed shanivara santhe the bad roads started! I knew it would be a bad road, but i underestimated the level of it!! There were absolutely no road, or full of stone rubbles. Somehow reached till bisle ghat view and it was a amazing view from there.
First thing my mom and my niece did was to start scolding me when i removed my helmet! And that was for my 'No shave November' beard! To tease them i kept that beard till the last day of my brothers marriage. Every day they both make plans to cut my beard when i sleep
Go pro was busy doing its timelapse video!
here is the link to the video captured.
The worst road continued till Subrahmanya!! But the comforting thing was about the nature! There were absolutely no vehicles and no clue of people as well. Hardly got to see some 2 or 3 cars thats all.
Some old bridge.
Was too late for the timer!
I guess many bikers know about this place! Should have visited during rainy season.
And finally the good roads once reached to Subrahmanya.
Thanks,
