Lohith, while going to Udupi, this was the route.

B'lore-Hassan-Belur-Mudigere-Aldur-Balehonnur-Sringeri-Agumbe-Udupi. So no NH17 experience until then. (To Sringeri, Chikmagalur-Aldur would've been a better option, but there were route adjustments on the fly, and it wasn't as planned)

But from Udupi to Maravanthe, we waded through the valleys and canyons of NH17 - seen it in its full glory. As HORRRRRIIIIIBLE as people have been saying!

We came back taking this route -
Udupi-Karkala-Kudremukh-Kalasa-Mudigere-Belur-Hassan-B'lore. Like others have mentioned, a stretch of 20 km or so before and after Mudigere is in tatters - but the rest of the way was very good.

It was because we travelled on different roads to and from Udupi that I concluded that the only perfect route (road condition-wise) from Udupi to B'lore is through Sringeri. I do not know the exact distance, though.
