Haven't driven via that for a while. I take the Jalsoor route to Kanhangad, the last trip being 2 weeks back. Which is in good condition as usual.

I don't see a real advantage taking Bhagamandala route to Kanhangad compared to Jalsoor, unless you are specific about travelling via that.

Thanks for your response. Just want to cover this circuit out of love for curves and greenery.

If you are interested you could take one route onwards and the other while return to avoid a boredom.

If so, then you can do this, your option 2 for onwards and slightly modified option 1 for return.

Take this:

Whitefield - Mysore Road (Via Mandya) - Hunsur - Gonikoppal - Makkutta Ghat - Thaliparamba - Nileswar

Nileswar - Cherkala - Jalsoor - Madikeri - Hunsur - Mysore Road - Whitefield

Resturant Options:

Coorg Gate - Perumbadi, at the start of Makkutta ghat
Nalanda Resorts - Nileswar

As for things to do in Nileswar, you can visit Bekal fort.

Nileswar - Cherkala - Jalsoor - Madikeri - Hunsur - Mysore Road - Bangalore.

How's this route? Any recent experiences. TIA.

I did a round trip from Bangalore to Bekal a couple of weeks ago via the above route. The road condition is good throughout, with no significant concerns except for a few potholes b/w Suntikoppa and Kushalnagar.
