What is the best route plan? My place of origin is "Bangalore"
Should I do Blore - Chikmagalur - Sringeri - Chikmagalur on friday &
Do Chikmagalur - hornadu - udupi - Chiknagalur on Sat
Or should it be vice versa.
Many thanks in advance. |
The itinerary you have planned is very complicated. If you could have taken accomodation at Udupi/Manipal, it would have been easier.
Day1:
Chikmagalur to Sringeri is nearly 90kms (via Aldur, Balehonnur). If you can leave Bangalore early in the morning (say 5 am), and reach Chikmagalur by at least 10 (including breakfast time), you can reach Sringeri by 12.30 pm. You can finish the darshan, have lunch at the temple and leave for Hornadu the same day (unless you have special pooja plans). Hornadu is around 60 kms from Sringeri and should take you max 2.5 hrs (single road). I'm not sure about the temple timings in Hornadu, but if you reach Hornadu by 5, it is about 2 to 2.5 hr drive to Chikmagalur.
You can take Chikmagalur-Aldur-Balehonnur-Jayapura-Sringeri-Hornadu-Kalasa-Balur-Kottigehara-Mudigere-Chikmagalur (Both roads have adequate signposts)
OR
Chikmagalur-Kottigehara-Kalasa-Hornadu-Sringeri-Jayapura-Balehonnur-Aldur-Chikmagalur
Day2: Leave Chikmagalur leisurely (by 9-9.30 am) reach Udupi by 1-1.30, visit temple, have lunch and start back to Bangalore.
There are 2 routes: Ckm-Kottigehara-Kalasa-Kudremukh-Karkala-Manipal-Udupi. Roads are good upto Balur after kottigehara. After Balur till Kalasa, the road is very rough. After kalasa, good roads till Manipal.
Ckm-Balehonnur-Sringeri-Agumbe-Hebri-Manipal-Udupi. This route has good roads all the way till Manipal.
btw, where are you planning to stay in Chikmagalur?
Does anybody know if Charmadi ghat is open? I passed through Shiradi day before yesterday and did not see any diverted buses on this route.
Sorry if I posted this late.
Cheers!!!
