But the reason to stick to Shiradi is more due to rains where Charmadi faces some challenges lime landslides that Shiradi will face less in comparison. | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Here is a short video in 2x speed of the Shiradi drive in heavy rains, over lots of potholes. At one point, an Endy in front of me suddenly turns on the hazard lights, forcing me to pass him ASAP. |

I believe the pic shown here is from the crack happened during 2013 as the place shown here is almost the same as the one which I have posted below. Moreover I didn`t see any news posted is any of the local daily about any cracks. ![]() ![]() Source: http://megamedianews.com/index.php/1...ikeri-stretch/ Last edited by DragonHawk : 9th August 2017 at 10:10. |

| ![]() Need to go to Hebri and beyond next weekend. Trying to figure out the best route - heva zeroed upon 2 options as of now :- Option 1 -> Blore-Hassan-Chikmagalur-Aldur-Agumbe-Hebri Option 2 -> Blore-Tumkur-Hiriyur-Tirthahalli-Agumbe-Hebri Any recommendations? Has anyone been on the Option 2 route recently? |

Many have tried and tested including me. It is going to be twisty right after Chikmagalur till Hebri and all good roads. Option 2: This will be considerably less twister and mostly good roads too. The default route is of course 1. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Made the mistake of driving to Sringeri, Yelemadalu to be exact on Saturday last. It seemed like half of the folks doing a trip that weekend was headed to Hassan and beyond. The only free stretch I got was from Chikamagalur to Yelemadalu. Nelmangala- Hassan was one 4 lane toll road that was empty whenever I rode/drove on it. This time it was like the Bangalore - Mysore road. Things got better after Hassan , but with all the biking groups out on the road, it was like some game. Not to forget mention a HD group who felt it very difficult to move aside and let a car overtake for some reason. Thankfully they opened two lanes at the toll after the Elevated highway on Tumkur road without collecting toll which eased the traffic at that toll which had piled up to almost half of the elevated section. The first toll on the Nelamangala- Hassan stretch was packed as well, thankfully rest of them were not because of many of the people stopping for breakfast in between. On the return , came via Chikamagalur-Lingadahalli- Birur- Tumkur. The stretch till Birur was free , but from there on being a single lane road, there was traffic both ways. This route being longer, I felt I would have taken the same time on traffic ridden Hassan route. Last edited by tharian : 16th August 2017 at 17:13. |

However, this still remains your best bet to reach Mangalore as on today. Easier to drive, Wide, facilities in almost every section. Here's a video from that bad section: Last edited by paragsachania : 21st August 2017 at 10:26. Reason: Added YouTube URL | |
