Hey Guys, I'm in a weekend mood already !!
I'm planning for a ride to Savanadurga which is around 65 kms from here, along with a friend (2 RTR 180s) on Saturday. I'm thinking of reaching the place through Magadi Road (A friend of mine said the route has lots of twisties) and return through the Mysore road route after visiting Manchanabele dam and Big Banyan Tree.

Companions for the trip as well as suggestions/additions for the route are most welcome !!

Be careful on magadi road.. awesome roads but mad traffic as in some dude will flash his headlights overtaking some bus and will be in your lane and expect you to go offroad for him!

Thanks for the heads-up Avin ! I'm planning to go early in the morning, so I don't think traffic would be an issue ! Hoping that it wouldn't be !

Count me in for Sunday if you guys change plans. Have loads of work lined up for Saturday and can't afford to delay it.

Aditya, I'l confirm it to you by tomorrow !

Did that route a few months back in the exactly opposite direction! First the banyan tree(They claim it to be a single banyan tree spread over an acre!! Worth a visit ). The views near Manchanabele dam are awesome.. But the roads are a bit steep there so ride safe. The road to Savanadurga was a bit bad! Lots of pot holes so we were forced to ride very slow! We dint climb up because we were running short of time but if you find time climb up! Looked adventurous. Then back to Bangi via Magadi road after stopping in some dhaba after Magadi for lunch. Don't remember the name of the place though. But not so good food!

We should Savandurga in morning. A place void of trees and shade not good in afternoon. We can visit Banyan tree and Manchanabele after that and have lunch and come back.

I thought so too. Now waiting for Aditya's confirmation and anybody else who is willing to join !

Its better you guys do Savanadurga first as Bangi heat is too much these days!

[rohitraghavan]
