+1. The route via Dobbaspet is much better. And road via Urdigere is also fresh at many places. This SH is getting paved fresh, with work going on at some places though. Dont know how is it close to Madhugiri though.

My native is Madhugiri. Dabaspet, Urdigere route is mostly fine now. In between few patches are being completed now. You have to watch out for deviation in few places.

In the month of April this year, a couple of us friends decided to ride to Jayamangali Black Buck Reserve. We stopped half way at Devarayanadurga Hills for a quick breakfast and headed towards the the Black Buck Reserve with the navigation guiding us.

As I was referring to the map for directions, I saw that we would be crossing a river and conveyed the same message through the intercom to the other 2 comrades riding with me. As we rode past the river with a close eye on the map expecting to see the river water, well.. we didn’t find it. It was just a dry bed with boulders, small rocks and thorny shrubs scattered around. So we mumbled to ourselves that the river is long gone.

Put a bright smile on my face, nature is indeed charming. The article says that the river Jayamangali has stayed dry since the last 27 years. But with the relentless rain battering Bangalore and surrounding areas since the last few weeks, this river is alive today!
