[Surhea]

Hi all,

Planning a road trip from Bangalore through Mysore, Siddhapura, Coorg, Chikmagalur, Shimoga, Mangalore to Goa over 10 days in Dec.

Any suggestions on the best routes to take?

Also suggestions welcome on overnight stays in the various locations and information on local sightseeing.

Thanks much..

Surhea.

Best routes,
Bangalore - Mandya - Mysore.
Mysore - Kushalnagara - Siddapura -Madikeri.
Madikeri-Holenarasipura-Gorur-Hassan-Halebeedu-Belur-Chikmagalur (other route is Madikeri-Shanivarsanthe-Sakleshpura-Mudigere-Chikmagalur)
Chikmagalur - Kaimara - Lingadahally -Kemmanugundi-Lingadahally- Tarikere - Shimoga.
But Why Mangalore from Shimoga ?
Anyways
Shimoga - Theerathally - Agumbe - Manipal - Udupi- Mangalore.
Mangalore - Udupi-Bhatkala-Kumta-Karwar-Goa
Some of the sightseeing places have been marked as bold.

Thanks Sushrutha,

Not familiar with this route. That's the reason for the 'Shimoga - Mangalore' thing ;-)

Thanks so much for the suggestions.
