Both of these roads are in good condition. And very scenic routes
Another possible route would be
Bangalore - Hassan- Belur-Chikmagalur-Aldur-Sringeri-Agumbe-Someshwara-Parkala-Udupi
The choice is yours. All routes approxiamte distance would be 430kms |
Having driven in this area last weekend (was in Kudremukh and returned by Shiradi ghats), please take option 1 : BLR -> Hassan -> Belur -> Mudigere -> Charmadi -> Karkala -> Udupi. NH13 is in top shape (towards Karkala). Alternately turn off towards Moodbidri if you want to bypass Mangalore
Shiradi ghats is a mess. It took more than 75-80 minutes to travel 20km coupled with heavy truck traffic. All the asphalted parts between the concreted widened sections are non-existent. Some parts look like they have never been laid in the first place. So, the only place where this road is done up and complete is in the govt's books.
