travelled over this weekend...
Took the (1)Tumkur-Davangere-Ranibennur-yellapur-ankola-karwar-goa while going and (2) Goa-Karwar-Hubli-Chitradurga route while coming back.
Bangalore to hubli and back...the stretch is good except for a few stretches where the road is bad...1 km at a time.
the hubli - karwar - goa route is mostly ghat but motorable.
I'd strongly suggest Bangalore-Chitradurga-Hubli-Karwar-Goa route if you are not familiar with the route.
condor-thank you for the directions earlier...really helped me etch the map in my head
