Thanks guys for the help and the info. I did this trip on the 13th and took my old route because it was before answers came up here.
I did B-lore-Hubli-Ankola-Goa and it was a NIGHTMARE. Beyond Chitradurga 100km was a struggle and the Hubli _ Ankola was hell too, as was the Karwar - Margao entry road of Goa.
I took 9 hours driving time on this route last year and this time it took me 11 and a half hours driving time.
I want an alternative route for the return.
Snaronikar, Abhi,
I looked for this route while coming and the turn off from Haveri to Sirsi looked so small it inspired no confidence at all. For the return if I take this route where is the turning from Ankola to Sirsi?
Ravi,
Obviously you have the latest first hand knowledge so I would be very grateful for any help. I did read the post that you have referred to and I am still a bit confused here.

I suggest Blre -> Shimoga -> Siddapura -> Sirsi -> Ankola -> Karwar -> Goa trust me this is best route to goa right now.
I have travelled 2 weeks back in this route.

This I presume is NOT the Honnavar, Jog, Shimoga route? If so is it better than the Jog route? And if so could you again please guide me on how to get onto this route when I am driving from Karwar?
Again guys I am sorry for the delay in my follow up but I have no Airtel coverage in my resort in Goa and I had to go to a local cybercafe for this posting.
