How is Devimane Ghat road? if it is fine and if Haveri - Sirsi is not heavily potholed (it was uneven and I could avg 50km in one hour), I think Kaushik should take the Haveri - Mirjan route...Also Shimoga route is longer, hence why take it when you donot want to visit JogFalls...

Yeah this seems like an optimal solution.
By the way, when i was going to Goa, after Jog Falls, i saw a right turn just before the forest checkpost. I decided to take that. The road was awesome for about a kilometer or so and then it kind of disappeared and looked as if its not been used for years! So i turned around and came back on to NH206.
Was that right turn the one that would have taken me to Siddapur?
Haveri Sirsi road is not too potholed. But its not wide enough for two vehicles to pass without one getting off the road. After a couple of tempos drove me off the road, i started to slow down whenever i saw a bigger vehicle approaching but did not get off the road. That saved me from the hidden menaces on the shoulders. Also look out for buffaloes and bullock carts.
Devimane ghat road is pretty decent. No issues there. Light traffic too.
