Re: Bangalore - Kannur : Route Queries

Hi All,

Just overheard that Gonikopplal-Makuta- Iritty route is open for travelers from Bangalore. Request a confirmation please.

Also, if this route is open any information on where the medical checkup/ pass checking/ swab checking is happening will be appreciated.

Thanks

Is this route still open and is the swab checking still being done mandatorily? I'm planning to drive down with my pregnant wife, perhaps next week.

Yes and No.

Sometimes they do it and sometimes they do not (as per last weeks updates from people who traveled). It is not officially completely taken off. So depends on the day and time you pass.

For sure, no testing post 6pm.

Re: Bangalore - Kannur : Route Queries

Hi BHPians,
These days my usual route via NH75 is Nelamangala Town> Kunigal> Bellur Cross> Nagamangala> Srirangapatna and then join usual route onto mysore road.
Has anyone travelled further straight onto Bellur Cross towards Channarayapattana> Piriyapatna. This route takes you to Anechoukoor Check Post and toward elephant camp road.

Has any one taken this route & how is the road condition? This route is also as first preference on google map!

People known to me have taken this route several times, although I have never tried. As per them, roads are pretty good throughout except that there are too many humps.
The route would be Anechowkoor- Periyapatna- Bettadapura - Ramanathapura - Arakalgud- Holenarsipura - Channarayapattana.

Re: Bangalore - Kannur : Route Queries

Saw in another group:
KA health officials have informed that effective Monday 22nd February, all travelers crossing into Karnataka via Makootta check post between Kannur and Kodagu need to mandatorily carry RT-PCR negative report. Checking will be done at Makkutta check post. This also applies to bus passengers including drivers and staff.

Re: Bangalore - Kannur : Route Queries

Traveled today and there was strict checking for test result. It was at about 5:30am and still the checking was there. Even trucks were not spared. I have carried the test result. Not sure how long this is going to continue.

My brother-in-Law and sister crossed the check post today (Monday) at around the same time you did. He said it took just 2-3 minutes for the process as they were carrying the reports.
However, no passage if you do not have the report that too RT-PCR, not antigen test and they seem to be very strict about that.
