From BC road I will go to Kateel for a Quick darshan and later head towards Udupi. So, if you spot a Med.Grey Grande Punto with "Driven By" TBHP sticker do honk/flash.

Though I will not be a part of it. I think if planned a Team BHP caravan can be made.

Yup. Looks like that. Watch out for me in a TN registered Indigo XL - Burgundy color with 9 TBHP stickers (1 was stolen recently). Happy Motoring and Happy holidays everyone.

Do visit the Polali Rajarajeshwari temple on the BC Road - Kaikamba route. Its one of the oldest and famous temple.

You will get an arch on right side while driving from BC road.

You can also try Kateel - Kinnigoli - Belman - Katpady route if you want to avoid the NH. This route is a bit longer but you can enjoy some nature and village life.

Wow. Thanks kadri007. I will defenitely visit this temple. I will take the Kinnigoli route, and reach Udupi via Mulki / Karnad. Can you please suggest some good restaurant in the vicinity of Kateel or on the way to Udupi for lunch / snacks?

You can have breakfast in BC road, freshen up and proceed towards Polali.

Kateel does not have any big hotels. Small hotels are there. Not that great.

There are some hotles in Kaikambha Junction and also some small hotels in Polali.

The pooja time in Kateel is around 12.30-1.00. You can have a lunch in temple itself.

Else you can proceed to Kinnigoli or Mulki to have lunch.

I think there are good number of people heading in both the below routes:


Blore - Mysore - Madikeri - Sullya - BC road - Mangalore

Blore - Hassan - Charmadi - Dharmastala

I dont think anyone is going through Shiradi.

S3va hope my memory has matched with the details sent in mail this afternoon.

Take a print out of it when you travel. It may help you.

I have collected this in few years time. So this time when u travel do take a pen and paper. It just takes a minute but later it will help someone.

Yes it took 1:30 hours to cover the approx 30 - 35 KM stretch I was very careful though and went real slow on the potholes

I have uploaded some pictures of Shiradi which I took specially for T-bhp.
