Thanks Adi.
The best route would be Bangalore-Mysore-Hunsur-Periyapatna-Kushalnagar-Siddapura-Virajpet.
There is another route from Periyapatna but that is not in a good condition. So I would still recommend the above even if it is a bit long.
To do things:
1. Obviously you can visit the places we have visited. They are good.
2. Apart from that, there is a reservoir by name Chakkuli. It is a beautiful place with very less crowd. Not many people know about it. When driving from Kushalnagar to Virajpet, there is a left turn off to go to Dubare Elephant Camp. This reservoir comes 4 kms before that left turn. You have to take a right from the main road and travel around 3 kms. I recommend going there to watch the sun set. Attaching some pictures of the place.
Happy journey. Please free to contact if you need any help in Bangalore.
