Yes, Ramnagar-Dharwad is toll road. If I remember correctly it was Rs 55, but the roads are very good. The only stretch has potholes is Molem - Ramnagar, where one has to be pay more attention. |

When I drove back on March 10th, they were using clay and stones to fill potholes with a not so modern equipment and aged road roller. However, we were 4 adults and a kid in the Ertiga and my daughter was fast asleep since Sanquelim that the jolts and rocking due to bad road neither woke her up nor we faced issues with the ground clearance. We were delighted only when we realized that the last 6 kms before Khanapur got better ![]() So taking the Khanapur-Jamboti stretch depends on how the car and the driver are equipped to handle bad sections because we often see many complaining a small pothole while others terming it as "manageable"! I hope it gets ready sooner. Last edited by paragsachania : 3rd April 2014 at 11:17. | |

![]() The stretch is only 5 odd kms that is extremely bad like this but if you are patient and know how to drive at 5-10 kmph speeds, you can get over it ![]() Last edited by abirnale : 3rd April 2014 at 11:40. | |

| ![]() Hi Guys, Planning a trip to Goa this Good Friday weekend. Will be staying somewhere in North Goa for 2 nights and then at Varca for other 2 nights. So I would like to know the route for BLR (HSR Layout) to North Goa (Candolim/Anjuna) and Varca to BLR. Also, I would like to know the timings for both the route options as I will be leaving on 17th April (Voting Day) and I want exercise my Vote and leave and hence time things accordingly. Any good places to eat enroute? Quality of road if I need to be aware of? Any recommended property in North Goa? I will be travelling with my wife and a yr old kid so want the place to be neat and close to the beach and hopefully good restaurant. (was thinking of Whispering Palms or Lemon Tree kind of as Park at Calangute doesnt seem to be upto the mark. Any feedback on Teso waterfront?) Thanks a lot for your help. |

Appreciate your eagerness to vote, however - if you cast vote and leave around 10am approx, you will end up having a very long day of travel. Is that ok since you have a 1 year old child? |

After plumbing many sources of information on this forum, as well as taxi drivers, have plumped for Ponda-Molem-Ramnagar-Alnavar-Dharwad. From there it's NH4 to points south,etc. I will try and update this thread on the 13th as to my experience. If you are with family, try Marinha Dourada at Baga. They have lovely and extensive grounds and a small private lake with fishing possiblities, etc. apart from the usual pool. Also there are plenty of good restaurants within 5 minutes walk in case the in-house food is not to your liking. Very relaxing place. | |

| ![]() Thanks guys for the suggestions. So as I can read it through the thread, For BLR - Candolim: HSR -> NICE Road->Belgaum -> Chorla -> Candolim (Or is it Tumgeri -> Chorla -> Candolim?) If I take Belgaum then do I have to drive via city traffic and any turn that I need take care off? Eateries that I can note on this route are Kamat before Rannebennur (Breakfast) and Sankam near Belgaum (Lunch) For return Varca - BLR: Varca - Karwar - Ankola - Yellapur - Kalghatgi - Hubli - NH4 Also, I expect both ways to take 10 hrs each. Please confirm If I got it correct? NH4 in general will have food options? Thanks |

- Exit 4-lane at MK Hubli - Take the road to Khanapur and there on to Jambotti - At Jambotti you join the Chorla road. - Route Link But wont advise this. If you are on to it first better take the Belgaum option. And if you go via Belgaum, you have no other option but to go via City. In this case: - Exit 4-lane at Hotel Sankam - The road along Sankam is the Chorla road. - Route Link Quote:

- Its 10 hours of drive time. - Add breaks to it. Also note you start late from Goa (and not like early morning 4). - So traffic would have picked up at the start and when you are reaching Bangalore. Please add those times as well. Quote:
- Drive about 2-3 km on NH17 towards Ankola and you should see this hotel on your right - On NH4, after you cross Hubli bypass, there is a Kamat on your left. - Ranebennur Kamat you already know. But thats on your right - Sira has a Kamat. Its located just after end of Sira bypass while driving towards Bangalore. - Dobbaspet has a couple of Kamats and CCD.

From Anmod check post to Ramnagar, there are some unexpected potholes. You will average 30 kph for this section of around 20-odd km. Ramnagar onwards the roads are super good. We were at Nelamangala toll booth around 2.30 pm and then took NICE road from there to Electronic city. We landed at Vellore at 6.45 pm exactly. I drove all the way and we took our own sandwiches, coffee and soft drinks, etc so we avoided stopping for extended breaks. There are practically no decent joints all the way almost to Nelamangala, so this was a good decision in retrospect. We did stop at a fairly decent and new-ish, but basic, wayside place before Tumkur, around 12 noon, where we were quickly served some excellent fluffly rotis and dal. At Krishnagiri we stopped at a MacDonalds to the delight of my son, but preferred to take-away rather than eat there. I highly recommend the Ramnagar-Dharwad route.
