i did bangalore to ooty this month.., and while coming took all the breaks i needed :P

[sourav2688]

Can any one help me with road condition and traffic state if i have to get to Hosur from Hoskote.

Las week tried taking some route with local help but got stranded in traffic for a hour. please help me out. looking to make it to Hosur the fastest way possible.

Thanks.

The fastest route to hosur from hoskote would depend on what time of the day you'd be doing it in. If its rush hour (0800-1100, 1800-2100 hrs), avoid riding thru bangalore, instead take NH207 via chikka tirupathi. Its an average road with random traffic. However, if you're going to be passing by at any other time, the fastest way would be to ride towards bangalore, at KR puram, take the outer ring road towards marathalli and onwards to silk board junction, get onto the elevated flyover to electronic and before you know it, you'll be in hosur. Its stone's throw away from ECity.

Hope that helps.

How about taking the NICE road. Come over till the tumkur road & from there get on the NICE road till ECity?? I know it sounds a bit long but it is a very empty road isnt it??

The time he'd look to make up along the NICE road, he'd have lost it already in getting to NICE, even if its thru Dobbespet.

Are you talking about the traffic?? Anyways the silkboard route would be filled with even more traffic.

BTW i was talking about coming through hebbal & jalahalli cross side to NH4 and not through dobbaspet.

2) bang-coorg-bang

I would suggest this option.Anyways you have tried Mullayangiri and Budiyanagiri earlier.

questions:

1) please suggest which route to take for coorg from bang which will be scenic i heard of nagarhole national park and some other places .also places around coorg , is coorg and madekeri diff or the same?

Coorg or Kodagu is the same. It is the smallest district in Karnataka.Madikeri is the head quarters to coorg district.
The route you can take is:Bangalore > Mandya > Mysore > Hunsur > Kushalanagara>Madkeri

2) route conditions for the above routes .

The road conditions are good for the most part of this route,but Kushalanagar to Madkeri was in bad condition some time back,don't know about the present condition.Interior of Coorg have got pretty decent single lane roads,with occasional bad stretches


3) suggest any other places if you have

If you can extend a day or two you can even cover wayanad, Around 150 Kms from Madkeri.
