When you face the temple after climbing the steps there should be a narrow path on your right. You may have to beat couple of bushes in rainy season as this location is not known to most public. |

| ![]() Has anyone been to Muthathi recently? A couple of buddies and I are planning to go on a ride to Muthathi this weekend and wanted to know the condition of the road from Sathanur to Muthathi. |

Thanks Ampere! We actually traced our way back from Mekadattu to almost around 10-12 kilometers (towards Kanakapura) and once we reached the first big village we turned a left. There is "V" junction at this point with one road leading to Kanakapura and the other leading to Muthathi. We did have the river flowing to our left and we could see it at some places. I guess this was the Sangama - Muthathi Road as shown in your map. | |

In my case, while driving from Muthathi towards Sathanur, we never spotted any exit for Mekedattu. Hence my confusion about where exactly is that road parallel to river; the one that is marked in the maps? Perhaps its a mud road which exits out from the Muthathi-Sathanur road, which I missed to spot. | |

| ![]() My friend went to Muthathi this Sunday; he went via Kanakpura road to Halaguru and took a left from there. According to him, the road all the way was good. Last edited by ankan.m.blr : 2nd June 2015 at 19:23. |

Halagur-Muthathi section is good (as your friend mentioned). That is the default route what most people take to Muthathi. Muthathi-Sathanur has quite many rough bits. And I am yet to find and use the Muthathi-Mekadattu stretch. Last edited by ampere : 2nd June 2015 at 20:04. |

| ![]() Thought I would share information which would help everybody plan their Drives around Bangalore. Attaching an Excel sheet here. This sheet has information like Places around Bangalore, Distance, other places nearby, ideal no. of days, Route, Place type, direction to take, Road condition, Food and Lodge availability, etc. Not sure who I should credit for this great compilation. I was passed on this by another colleague. Sharing it for the greater good. ![]() Hope you all would find it helpful. |

Or try to leave home early say by 5 AM so that you can reach the temple in kolar by 7 AM. This way you can avoid bangalore traffic. Last edited by suresh_gs : 10th June 2015 at 14:31. | |

Not sure about Omkar Hills, but Big Banyan tree is best probably as your next stop once you get back onto Mysore Road. I've also heard that Swaminarayan Gurukul is a very calm, serene place to visit, again on Mysore Road. Last edited by NPV : 15th June 2015 at 19:24. | |
