So the next best alternative is through the Shiradi Ghat which after Sakleshpur......

The route you're referring to is the shortest link between Blr and Mlr(NH48)!

This is the route i'm planning to take for my trip.

Hey dude, if you need any help near the Sakleshpur region, ring me at 09659940991(I'm stationed at Pondicherry now) and I can arrange for you.

Hey nice plan.. which route are you planning to take because the Madikeri -Sulia route is closed due to road rework. So now the route is a detour from madikeri which I dont have much idea about. So the next best alternative is through the Shiradi Ghat which after Sakleshpur has about 30-40 kms of horrible road. So need to take a call. Rest of the stretch on the Sakleshpur route manageable.

Take a call on which route you wanna take... Both have its plus and minus.

One more route is through Sringeri which I havent gone but would like to do that stretch . I have done Sringeri and back to Mysore through the Kudremukh route which is Heavenly to be honest. Enquire regrading all routes possible and choose the best

Hey Makky and Roshan thanks for the inputs.

I guess there is a route from Mysore road as well for Mangalore (I never knew of that).

This is what I am planning to take.

I stay near Bommanhalli. So i'm planning to hit the NICE road from PESSE college and ride to NH4 and from there its all the way NH4...

This route would be a bit longer due to NICE stretch but the reason i'm keen on this one is that i know this route and more over it being a clean route can be covered at good pace.

Inputs on this??


And another thing I want to know is about the weather over there. Scope of rains?

@Harshit: Take the Neelamangala-Hassan-Sakleshpur-Mangalore route.

Or if you have time in hand are feeling a bit adventurous, from Hassan head up north to Belur-Mudigere-Kottigehara-Kalasa-Karkala-Moodabidri-Mangalore to ride through the AWESOME Kudremukh reserve! But ensure you are in Mangalore in daylight.

If its a one day ride, im always game. More than a day need to be informed in advance to get permission from home.

The NICE road(PESSE)-NH4 route via Kengeri is a much better one than Bommanahalli-Banashankari-Mysore road-Blr Uni-Chandra layout-NH4 and Bannerghatta road-Uttarahalli-Kengeri-NH4.

PS: You can take the Magadi road if you want to escape from Bengaluru Metro and the jam-packed Nelamangala. You would join NH48 a km or two before Mallya's stud farm at Kunigal.

Nelamangala is not jam packed anymore, now that the road-widening and the expressway are done with. It's a smooth and easy ride past all the previous bottlenecks.

Belur-Kalasa-Mangalore is a superb route, but are the roads in good condition?

My bad, I should have been more clearer! Yes, Blr-Nelamangala road is very good. I, myself drove on the same road a month ago. However, once you hit NH48 after Nelamagala, it's disappointing, thanks road-widening work.

Anyone there???????

I've not got any latest info on those roads, but how bad can it be. All I can say is Kudremukh makes it worth it!

@nox2505: I don't know of any link for places in Hosur. And I'm not sure if there are any apartments for rent in Hosur. But around Hosur in the direction of Bangalore there are a few apartment complex's!

I second that. But the roads were awful whenever I've ridden there, and the last I rode there was a year ago. Not sure if it owuld be fixed now. Anyway, if the chap's taking this route, I'd say allow for lots of time..
