I did too. You need to take a sharp right just before Khanapur town. The signage here says to Yellapur. Continue upto Beedi and take the left turn in the middle of the village towards Kittur. |

Slightly OT, why don't you consider Bangalore - Tumkur - Shimoga - Honnavar - Karwar route. It has been reported to be very good. I drove from Bangalore to Shimoga over the last weekend and the road was very good. I was told that it gets better beyond Shimoga. I guess it is shorter than the option you mentioned. During the day, the stretch between Chitradurga - Haveri can get very very nasty with mile long traffic jams. |

Best route- roads through Dandelli/Yellapur are messed up, just did this trip this weekend. Went through Dandelli and came back from Belgaum. |

Which route exactly did you take for Dandeli? Via Haliyal? |

Did Bangalore-Goa and back last weekend. Bangalore -Goa - Friday Goa-Bangalore - Monday To Goa - Took the Amboli-Sawantwadi To Bangalore - Took the Molem, Khanapur route NH4A is awesome now. Did not risk it while going because it was late afternoon but now feel that I could have. The drive while coming back was a breeze. All the horror stories about Anmod-ghat is history now. Roads are new. Took the SH31 shorcut from Khanapur. Road was reasonable for the Safari. I think I saved close to 2 hours on my way back. That would be exactly 12 hours to reach ORR on way back. |

I did not get it. Sawantwadi is between Bombay and Goa right? Where does it figure on a Bangalore Goa route? |

Go upto Belgaum and then take SH121 and reach Sawantwadi. You are right that it is on the Mumbai-Goa route. |

I was aware of that route. But what got me confused was why should one goto Sawantwadi from Banaglore to go to Goa. Thats roundabout; right? |

Yes it is. It adds about 80km. It was the best alternative when when NH4A (Balgaum - Ponda - Panjim) used to be horrendous. Right now the detour does not make any sense. |
