We covered nearly a G kilometres inwards 2 days through rains too forests too hills too beaches.

Kilometres - one thousand , approx 1/4 th of the distance inwards AC

Day 1 : Fri
We started or thence seven pm afterward component division for Hassan too reached or thence eleven pm amongst dinner on the way.
Road Condition : Excellent cost roads till Channarayapattana, afterward which the cost route is nether structure too at that spot was heavy traffic.
We stayed at a inexpensive companionship inwards Hassan - Gokul Lodge (Rs 350 for a little double bedroom).
Day 2: Saturday
We started or thence ix am afterward breakfast at Sri Krishna Hotel for Gorur Dam. We did non larn whatsoever clear stance of Hemavathi Reservoir, but got a decent await at the dam.
Then nosotros started off for Shanivarashante. The route till Somwarpet was adept , precisely a bad patch hither too there. We saved a serpent somehow amongst some furious braking inwards Somwarpet. Then nosotros headed towards Malhalli Waterfalls. The roads larn narrower till the falls , but adept plenty for cars.
Malhalli Waterfalls is a wonderful place. The falls is situated almost 4 km from the entry indicate where 1 has to pay an entry fee. This route is inwards terrible cast too jeeps are available on hire from local habitation stays.
We tried to become through this route for a patch but ended upwardly amongst a damaged bumper too had to render too hire a jeep. The jeep took Rs 400 for a brusk stretch of or thence 2 km. After the 2 km stretch its a brusk trek. during the initial stages at that spot are concrete staircases but the final kilometre is uncomplicated mud road. Since it was raining heavily too the mud route was extremely slippery nosotros decided to skip that component division too return. The waterfalls , visible from a distance was awesome. One of the best that I receive got seen thence far.
From Malhalli waterfalls enclosed past times Pushpagiri mountains nosotros returned to Somwarpet for a belatedly luncheon too auto repair.
From Somwarpet nosotros travelled towards Sakleshpur through java country. I receive got no words to explicate the beauty of the house too 1 has to actually move past times these roads to experience it. There was a house where the panoramic stance of the ghats mesmerized us. We were only equally good awestruck at the place.
From Sakleshpur nosotros decided to become to Mangalore for the night. That was on the National Highway. It was eve too it nosotros travelled inwards torrential pelting too mist. The visibility was downwards to a few metres too nosotros drove safely through the ghat department of deep forests too mountains. We were the unfortunate witness of several accidents that happened on the agency , a autobus roughshod downwards in all likelihood unable to command the turns.
There were tense moments where nosotros drove through precisely barely scraping the route amongst trucks too high beams on reverse sides. Its non possible to drive without high beams too fog lights on this route at night.
We had to halt at a house within the forests because 1 of us was feeling giddy. Fortunately the residue of us were okay. After a few hours of tense too amazing driving past times my friends nosotros crossed the ghats too entered the pelting side.
At Bantawal nosotros crossed the river too joined the Bangalore to Mangalore Highway. From thence onwards fifty-fifty though the roads were black nosotros felt prophylactic too it was a quick entry to Mangalore.
The twenty-four hr menses ended at a inexpensive hotel 1 time again , hotel Hindustan correct at the optic of the city. With room service nosotros managed dinner too slept good for the night.
Road Condition : Hassan to Gorur Dam ( Bad at times) but manageable. Gorur Dam to Shanivara Shante is narrow but decent roads. Shanivarashante to Somwarpet was really scenic too decent roads. Somwarpet onwards roads are bad inwards stretches till the Pushpagiri hit from where 1 must accept a jeep.
Day 3: Sunday
We started sunday a chip belatedly because it was pouring cats too dogs inwards Mangalore. We had a hearty breakfast at Moti Mahal 1 of the amend hotels inwards Mangalore.
After breakfast nosotros headed for Pennambur Beach. I must recommend everyone to see a beach during the monsoon. It was a sight to behold. An empty beach amongst greenery all around. With our umbrellas turning turtle nosotros took a few snaps too headed towards Moodabidri. This was 1 heck of a ride. The
route till the beach was excellent. But shortly afterward nosotros left the highway it became narrow too at that spot was a stretch where nosotros walked ahead of the auto to ensure that at that spot was a route indeed. It was fully immersed inwards water.
Soon nosotros caught a province highway too entered Malnad percentage of the Ghats. It was the most scenic component division of the trip. We crossed inundation rivers too lakes, swell greenery too wonderful views.We crossed some meadows too farmlands that were inwards thence many unlike versions of light-green that it was a existent process to watch. We stopped every 1 time at nowadays too thence to accept a few snaps. But the areas were only beyond a picture.
At Moodabidri nosotros decided to refuel too cheque tyre pressures. I decided to lower the pressure level on all the 4 tyres slightly. Soon nosotros entered the route towards Dharmasthala. Avoiding the rush of Dharmasthala nosotros entered the Charmadi Ghats department of the Bangalore Managalore highway. This was some other house where the scenery was breathtaking. Apart from a little mishap where a autobus too a truck scratched each other at a really narrow indicate on the route resulting a large traffic jam the residue of it was uneventful.
In the afternoon nosotros entered the highest points of the Charmadi ghats. Covered inwards mist too fog too dense forests this was actually a indicate of fatal beauty. The roads turned too unsafe curves were crossed. Again at that spot were few tense moments , but all of it happened at daytime too nosotros managed unscathed through to Mudigere.
The roads became amend amongst wider turns too tea too java estates lined the roads. We drove straight off too reached Belur precisely earlier eve was setting in. H5N1 quick snack inwards Belur too nosotros left for Hassan. This is some other beauty of a road. Its non a 4 lane route , but its first-class too has dividers or thence many corners reducing gamble of accidents.
On entering Hassan nosotros crossed a bad stretch within urban substance limits too was shortly inwards the bad stretch where the Toll route structure is going on.
As shortly equally nosotros reached the adept roads it was a whisker of a travel. We made 120 to 140 kmph to accomplish Nelamangala too thence a rapid entry to Bangalore via NICE road.
The twenty-four hr menses ended amongst a belatedly dinner too a trip filled amongst wonderful memories of the beauty of Western Ghats too the pilus raising parts of the trip.
