Just only check if you need any kind of pass to enter back TN, I am not sure about that. | |

The epass is required to enter TN as per a friend of mine who left for Chennai yesterday. Only 4W are checked at the entry but 2W are let through without any checks. There are no check posts in KA as such now. Last edited by unk9ja : 17th September 2020 at 18:27. |

Before I drove back, I saw your post and tried the route you took. I cannot thank you enough for this, it was a really enjoyable drive and the experience was far better. | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() We were planning to drive back from Udupi to Bangalore today. But the non-stop rains since yesterday changed our mind. Today Kalsanka is flooded, which means the path between Manipal and Udupi is also shut off. Mangalore is flooded in many places. We have postponed the trip by few days until the fury of rain goes down. |

And we have a Blore-Udupi planned for Tuesday. Do you think its a good idea to push it forward by a few days? | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yeah, many places in-between will be flooded until rain stops and water recedes. Don't try the 400kms trip right now. I usually love driving in rain, since my fulltime 4WD GV handle most challenging roads. But flooded roads are no joke, getting stranded in between is a real possibility. |

Rains have been pounding since yesterday and non stop. My car's wipers were on 2nd speed till Hassan. Kottigehara was so windy that I saw few plates fly and a board come down. The whole region is under massive rain cover. Last edited by paragsachania : 20th September 2020 at 14:54. | |

BHPian | ![]() Did a round trip on Saturday to Bangalore - Belthangady via Hassan - Sakleshpur - Shirady - Dharmasthala - Ujire. Surprised to see most of the eateries are open and crowded as well. We never tried any as we took packed food from home. About the road condition, Bangalore - Hassan - All good as usual Hassan - Shirady - It's a mix of good and very bad stretch. We have to be very careful in some turns. Shirady ghat section in very good shape. Shirady - SH37 diversion - Again some very bad stretches. SH37 diversion - Dharmasthala - Belthangady - It's a in a good shape. We have to be very careful if driving during night or in rain. |

Did Mangalore to Bangalore yesterday via Shiradi. Road conditions are bad from b c road circle towards the ghat at various places. Later sakaleshpur to Hassan has its own set of bad and dusty roads. I'm not sure of the charmadi road conditions but Shiradi route is in tatters. Also traffic cops are stationed at various places beginning from the ghats till Hassan. |
