Harishv, I just did this route last month. Yes, the best route is what you have mentioned. From Shimoga, there are 2 options. There is a road from Tarikere through a ghat section and reserve forest that goes to Chikmaglur. Or alternatively you can take the NH to Kadur and take the road to Chikmaglur from Kadur. Both roads are pretty good except for a short section immediately after Tarikere which is in a bad state. The Tarikere-Chikmaglur road is shorter and much more scenic, but it is also narrower and has a more prominent ghat section. Avoid this road at night as it is quite lonely.

The only bad stretch on the drive is Pune to Kolhapur, which is still riddled with diversions for road work. This is also the stretch where you will encounter a lot of tractors, 3 wheelers, 2 wheelers, etc which slows down traffic every now and then.

Re: Ford Endeavour : Official Review

Friends

I am on a road trip from Mumbai.

Dehu - Hubli
Hubli - chitradurg-Chikamagalur
Chikmagalur-Coorg(Madikeri)

Now next leg is Madikeri - Murudeshwar-Goa-mumbai.

Now the kids want a detour before we hit Murudeshwar to see Jog falls.

My query is a below :
It will be a 4-5 detour and means around 11 hours drive on that day from Madikeri - Bhatkal-jog fall-Bhatkal-Murudeshwar.

Is it worth the additional 5 hours pain?
What would be the kind of fall during this time. I planned we will be there on Thursday?

Any tips and guidance will be helpful.

Cheers.

Pune - Davangere -Madikeri Route query

I was searching for this route on forum. Found one travelouge that was bit old. Hence posting query here again..

We are planning to visit Coorg (Virajpet) in second week of May.

I will appreciate Tips from fellow BHPians on which route we should take and dos and don'ts.

Google is showing Pune - Davangere - Shivamonga - Hassan - Virajpet route bypassing Madikeri. Is road good and safe after Davangere for single car to travel?

I was told that in certain patches it is lonely and not so good.

Mod: Please excuse for re-posting on this forum.

Re: Pune - Davangere -Madikeri Route query

There are multiple threads that will answer your query:

Thread 1 (Mumbai - Hassan - Coorg : Route Queries)

Thread 2 (Mumbai to Coorg : Route Queries)

Thread 3 (Drive: Mumbai to Coorg in a Ford Aspire)

Additionally - The Shimoga route will have more of 2 lane and you will deviate from Pune-Bangalore NH much before - Facilities will be mostly when passing each of the towns like Shimoga, Arasikere & Hassan only.
