Bangalore to Kollur via Shimoga, that is via very narrow Agumbe ghats, how could you do it in 6 hours?
Does'nt match with what you remember ??? did'nt get that point....

Dharmasthala to Sakleshpur is about 80 kms and the road from Dharmasthala to the point where it joins the Mangalore highway upto the start of the Ghats is in a very good condition... 4:45pm we left Dharmasthala and 7pm we reached Sakleshpur... the last 20-30 kms of this stretch took me more than an hour...

About Bangalore to Kollur... 4pm in Peenya, 10pm in Kollur....
yup the ghats were narrow, but then the road from bangalore to Hosanagara ( from where the ghats start ) was not narrow and was in good condition with less traffic... and we had to reach kollur by 10pm and so we did...

This journey was done in an Innova with 5 people including me...
