.

The NH4A is bad after Mollem esp the Anmod ghat, all the way till Ramnagar.Better to take the Chorla route imo.

@Ranjitp1, thanks for your comments.
After taking the Chorla route, would it be possible to divert to Khanapur and intersect NH4 at say, MK Hubli ?
Since I an going south, I would like to avoid going further north to Belgaum.

Thanks & regards.

Mohan.

If you have children traveling with you can also include the Tyavarekoppa Lion & Tiger Safari which is on the same route about 10-12 Km from Shimoga.


@Amp / @NPV, regarding your comments, perhaps my somewhat complex sentence has been the cause of this misunderstanding.

My plan is to proceed to Goa, after the night halt at Shimoga. En-route , I propose to briefly visit Jog falls for a few photos. This would be my first visit to the falls. After this the next destination will be Madgaon.

Regards,

Mohan.

^^ Mohan Jog will be almost dry at this time. Even during Oct end it was a tickle.

@mpksuhas, thanks for the info.
The Jog detour is just a recce run. I am in no particular hurry to reach Madgaon, where I have been umpteen times over the past 15 years or so, in a variety of vehicles.

regards,
Mohan.

Hi, I need suggestions for doing Bangalore-Badami (starting from BLR at 9 AM) and for Badami-Calangute (starting from Badami at 10.30 AM). I prefer good roads (and, scenic route, if possible) even if the distance is longer. Thanks in advance.

Hi All!! Planning for Blore - Gokarna - Goa. Any route suggestions? I just saw that Haveri - Sirsi stretch is bad (have infact booked a hotel in Sirsi for a night before going on to Gokarna). Is Shimoga the only other option?

Thanks.

Shimoga is a good option except that the road down from Jog Falls towards Honavar is narrow, 1-laned in some places and you can get pushed off the road when some bus brutishly drives onto you.

Thanks HVK Sir!! Looks like no other option but to start very early after stay in Shimoga.

Hi all,

I'm planning Bangalore - Goa(Calangute) - Bangalore in car, This is my first trip to Goa. I'm planning to start by 5 am. Could you please suggest good routes and stop overs for breakfast based on current condition?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, if you are starting at 5 am then going by your handle, you can easily be having breakfast at Hubli by 9 am, it's another 3.5 hrs from there to Calangute via Belgaum-Chorla-Mapusa. The road is very quick till Belgaum, good roads from Belgaum till KA border, decent but narrow roads through the ghats till Goa.

That's a about 400 km to Hubli ! Some on can surely do it but isn't it quite aggressive @Luke? I would put average to about 80-85 and make it to Ranebennur Kamat by nine.

Thanks, I will go easy with break at Ranebennur Kamat by nine.

After this, When I checked google it shows different route instead of the one via Belgaum?
