Bangalore - Coorg : Route Queries

SR71-Blackbird · 27th November 2023, 20:30

What is the best route nowadays from Whitefield to Madikeri for an early morning start given that the expressway to Mysore is now open?

I usually take Whitefield ->ORR to Yeshwantpur -> Nelamangala-> Channarayapatna-> then SH to Holenarasipur-> Arakalagud-> Kushalnagar-> Madikeri and love the drive on the state highways after Channarayapatna and the options for breakfast on the NH as well.
I see that the distance via Mysore is almost the same, but around 15-30 mins shorter according to google maps.

Via NICE - Kengeri exit - Mysore road will be faster. Though the route you usually take is more scenic.

I usually take old airport road - shoolay circle - kr market flyover - kengeri to go to mysore from whitefield. It takes me an hour from home to kengeri when starting anytime earlier than 6:30am.

I am planning to drive from Bangalore - Madikeri during the year end. Are there any recommended IOCL bunks for XP95 fuel in Madikeri? I will drive onwards to Nileshwar from Madikeri and so am thinking of refuelling in Madikeri.

Or, is tanking up in Mysore or between Mysore and Madikeri a better option? Any recommended petrol stations for XP95 fuel on the way?

Hi, how are the roads in south coorg right now? (year end trip here!)
The circuit I'm planning to cover is brahmagiri - gonikoppa - virajpete - kakabbe - talacauvery.

There’s been no rain. All the roads are in good shape. Can make decent time. Traffic is as always, the unpredictable part of driving in India.

Roads are in excellent condition. I am assuming you are traveling to Madikeri

Stick to BNG - MYS Expy - Mysore Ring Road - Ilavala - Hunsur - Periyapatna - Kushalanagar - Madikeri.

What are the good breakfast options? Considering that I take the Mysore Expressway and most likely first stop will be in the Mysore-Hunsur road.

Last time, I didnt find any options, so stopped at the first place post manipal junction and it was a crappy place.

Hotel Annapoorna in Hunsur is a good option. https://maps.app.goo.gl/zfWdtYjQr7HSQBFH7
