Hi rjstyles69,akroy , thanks first for ur suggestions.

And yes i have read the travelogues of NIP, akroy & urs for info, which speaks abt a place called Kakkabe. But still i posted here cos i am going there for the 1st time, and didnt knw the best route, i heard that the Hunsur-Piriyapatna-Kushalnagar route was under repair for road-widening back in July-Aug time, bt not sure if its done at this point of time.
So if anyone has been to Coorg via this route recently, plz confirm

Secondly, i am bit confused as to where to halt in Coorg, or rather the best place to halt if i have to cover
Madikeri city,Bhagamandala,Talakaveri,Kushalanagar Monastery,Irupu falls,Abbey Falls without much detour.

This is what i understand after reading all the coorg tour articles in this website.

Route would be from BLR-MYS ROAD-HUNSUR-PIRIYAPATNA-KUSHALNAGAR
visit the monastery, Irupu falls & head to some closeby Homestay or Madikeri town (some hotel in that case) for night halt. Next day visit places within Madikeri town like Raja Seat, Abbey falls. and then head to Talacauvery-Bhagamandala.

Now can someone tell me how far is Talakaveri-Bhagamandala from Madikeri town and from there we plan to visit Harangi Dam b4 heading back to BLR.

Also Bck to blr via Piriyapatna-Hunsur or is the Virajpete route better. If so also let me know the Virajpete route, how the route is ?

Hope to get some help on this.
THanks in advance
