| BHPian | Hi, I was looking at visiting Coorg (Kodagu valley to be precise) next month. I wanted some info regarding the same... 1.) I have heard KSRTC volvos run on this route. But timings? From Blore bus stand... their online site doesnt have anything on this route. 2.) If not Volvos, how good or bad are the Rajahamsa buses of KSRTC? What about KPN volvo? 2.) Is the place better in Aug or in Sep 3.) Any one been to Club Mahindra Kodagu Valley resort? 4.) Are bikes available on hire there? Thanks in advance ![]() |

2.Rajahamsas ar OK...since the road from Bangalore all the way to Periyapatna is good,you'll be on bad roads only the last 40 km..but nothing like the volvos. 3.Sept is my choice as the rains would have subsided,but pls do check the weather conditions before leaving. 4.Club Mahindra is a very good place. 5.I have no clue about bike rentals,sorry.

| Bunny! Was wondering... if you are starting out from Bangalore... why not drive down? The roads are really beautiful - baby butt smooth till you get off the Bangalore Mysore road after which it narrows down but the scenary more than makes up for it! Im not too sure if you get bikes for hire up there - another reason for you to take your own set of wheels to get there! Have heard that the club mahindra experience is really good - simply enjoy maadi! Are you planning a trek of somethin? there are some nice place you could trek to, including the highest peak in the range "Dhadiyandamole" its simply awesome.! |

| BHPian | Updates: Bookings for 30thsep and 1st oct made at the Club Mahindra Resort. Problem is how to get there. Im in Mumbai, and my wife is studyin MDS from Davanagere (730km from Mumbai, around 260km from Blore) 28th sep: will be taking an overnight volvo to Davanagere (~730km) 29th sep: Will be taking an overnight 2*2 bus to Blore - No Volvos available. 30th sep: will take the 7am KSRTC Volvo to Madikeri/Mercara. Arrive at 1pm 30th sep and 1st oct: In Madikeri 2nd Oct: 9am KSRTC Rajhamsa Executive to Blore. Arrive by 3:30pm 2nd oct: Take the 4pm VRL Volvo to DVG, from where I continue for Mumbai. Wanted some help from Blore guys: How much would it cost to hire a car from Blore on self drive basis for 3 days? Secondly, are warm clothes really required in those days? |

| Distinguished - BHPian ![]() | Bunny hiring a car from bangy wouldnt be a good idea. I rather suggest that you hire a jeep in Coorg. Its been raining on and off and hence hiring a jeep there would make more sense. edit : Warm clothes arent really needed, carry a Windcheater with you. Just in case you have planned for a trek, buy rubber boots from Madikeri town. Costs about 300/- bucks a pair.

| Distinguished - BHPian ![]() | Bunny yeah you can hire jeeps there with drivers . It really doesnt make sense in you hiring a car right from bangy and then not being able to use the car on terrains which are accessible only by a jeep. Read Nip's and my travelogue about our coorg trips. Should give you a fair idea where you need to be looking for some un-adulterated adventure.

| No idea if there is a direct bus, but may be a better idea to go to Mysore and switch buses there.

This bus departs from Shimoga at 9.15 pm and from what I've seen of this bus, it is always crowded (it also passes through Hassan, my hometown). As far as private buses are concerned, I do not think there are any direct buses to Madikeri from Shimoga/Harihar/Davanagere. I'd suggest you to travel to Mysore via Shimoga and then catch a bus from there to Madikeri.
