Vehicle can thank thats fine and I bet u cannot do that in 2 hours via bangalore....Yelahanka - Hebbal - ORR - KRpuram - Hoskote will take 2 hours during peak hour traffic (now adays looks like 18 of 24 hours are peak hours)...

Bottomline is you have judge based on the time to reach Bangalore....Otherwise you might be stuck big time crossing ORR and NH4 till Hoskote...

Today I took 1.5 hours to reach office from BigBazaar on OMR to Hebbal...

Thanks guys went to Lepakshi based on what i read here and it was a great day trip!!

Also covered Doddamakali fishing camp on Cauvery river and the Georgia Sunshine village the next day. I took the Kanakpura road going in from Mallavali the road is like what i would think the lunar surface would look like and even though i was in my paj, one could not drive at any speed. Coming back I took the road to Maddur and from there to Bangalore on the Mysore highway.

Both the places (especially Doddamakali) are places to relax and put your feet up. The Doddamakali fishing camp is run by the Jungle lodges folks and has only tented accomodation and no electricity! The route to this place is only by 4x4 in the monsoon but currently cars were making it. I saw some potential offroading trails here!! Will check them out in the monsoons
