1) Has anyone gone there recently? Any idea how is the ghat road now? good, better, worse? How much time it will take to cross that 10-12km stretch after sakleshpur.
2) Also we plan to return through NH206, pls let me know any good petrol pump on NH17 some where between Udupi and Honnavar? Any Reliance pumps....
3) Planning to have lunch in Mangalore. Any good place to lunch? I heard abt Hotel Taj Mahal from a friend...so far plan is to lunch there, is there any other place u suggest?

Abhi
I just drove from bang few days back...nd trust me....the roads are really bad ..it took us three hours to cover the ghats...i would advise you NOT to travel durin the nights and if possilbe..take the mysore route...but there the roads after madikeri are in a bad shape..but atleast there isnt much congestion...so mangeable....
