| ![]() I will be driving from Hubli to South Goa on 26th Dec. How much of an additional time will it take via 1. Belgaum, Amboli, Sawantwadi, North Goa, Madgaon Vs. 2. Ankola, Karwar, Madgaon ? My assessment is it will take 5 hours on route#1 and 4 hours on route#2. Any advise on the same ? Also any good stopovers (Food, site-seeing, waterfalls etc.) ![]() thanks, Subbarp |

BHPian | ![]() I think Bangalore-Tumkur-Tiptur-Shimoga-jog-honnavar-Karwar is better route. After Shimoga you can virtually see no vehicles till Honavar. I travelled in this route 3 months back in my Zen, reached Bagha beach in Goa in 12 hours, Wife driving around at around 40-60kmph for two hours. |

| ![]() Thanks for your inputs. Unfortunately no one has told me which the most scenic route is. I don't mind driving upto fifteen hours and would like to make the best of the journey since we are spending quite a bit on a rather ordinary vehicle. Thanks |

Most scenic is ofcourse Shimoga-Honavar route, You can drive through thick forest around Jog fall and maybe even just have a peep at jog falls for 30 mins, and you will have a great view point soon after jog falls in the left side of the road, dont miss it, you can see the great scenic valley. See the attached photo, got this photo on my 2006 Goa trip. Last edited by shamanth : 24th December 2009 at 12:23. |

| ![]() hey guys, anyone tried taking the left at ibrahimpur on NH4(before shiggaon and after haveri) that leads to yellapur (from where on can join karwar) ? it appears to shave off about 60 kms from the journey as compared to taking the left at hubli to reach yellapur |

Had also asked about this road in an earlier thread and got a negative response as far as road conditions are concerned. And yes it will save you 60 kms odd of distance. | |
