Also any idea whether the road condition will be good if I take BLR-HUBLI-DHARWAR (left to connect to NH4A) - PANJIM? The reason I am asking is, Google map shows lesser time!
Don't think about doing NH4A, atleast for another years time, take NH63 - Yellapur - Ankola - Madgaon route. Keep arround 11 to 12 hrs in total including all sorts of breaks.

NH4A is a hit or miss IMHO. Plus road is horrible in patches. Either the Yellapur or Amboli route are the best bets. NH4 A might be a little lesser in distance but it takes more time definitely with added headache of trying to avoid potholes.

re: Bangalore - Goa : Route Queries

Hi

I am goin to Goa for just one day, going by train from Udupi to Madgaon and coming back next day, doing the trip mainly to enjoy the train journey.

I am driving from Bangalore to Udupi and on the way back via Kudremukh and stay in Kalasa back to Banglaore.

I have a 5 year old son.
Any suggestions on places to stay?

TIA

Santosh - try this route if you want to avoid Gokarna

Shimoga - Sagar -Talaguppa - Sirsi - Yellapur- Ankola - Goa

Heard that road from Jog till Honnavar and parts of NH17 are not in good condition.

The road were broken in some streaches after this year's monsoon, and its single lane highway with lots of traffic both ways, so it will slow you down, though you will meet NH17 at Ankola, but with wider road/some traffic halted at Gokarna/ and better road condition, with no potholes(last time when I visited was 15th August). In Jog to honnavar route, some of the ghat section were broken/with holes, after you cross the ghat then its ok till Honnavar.

So your suggestion is as below, correct me if i am wrong.

Shimoga, Karnataka, India to Goa, India - Google Maps

How is Sagar to Sirsi road ?
I remember Sirsi to Yellapur and from there to Ankola is a single lane but very good road. This status was last year when i did Sirsi trip.

Request you to please go through the last 3 pages, there are ample discussion on good roads & conditions on Goa routes, you will get your answer for sure, in none of the routes it will not exceed 670kms.

Sagar to Siri road condition is very good other than few patches which you can manage, its a single road though.

re: Bangalore - Goa : Route Queries

Yes - your info is useful. Planning to do the same. Is Yeswanthpur - Peenya - Nelmangala still a painful stretch? Specially while going - say @ 4 am? While returning I can take the D'blr - D'halli. But nowadays Airport road is always blocked

Hope those planning to do this route in future will find the information useful.

The elevated toll road solves all the problem.
You need to take that route and not the freeway. That is very easy and no issues on traffic at all.

re: Bangalore - Goa : Route Queries

How is the road from Belgaum to Goa. Is it possible to do the 120Kms in 2Hrs?

Is it a good idea to do Bangalore Belgaum Goa route. Bangalore Belgaum is around 510kms of 4 lane road.
