Road Trip - Bangalore to Udupi via Kunigal, Channarayapatana, Hassan, Sakleshpur, Mangalore

Travelled on 5 Mar 2016.

This is just an extension of Mangalore trip. You can read about the Mangalore trip here

From Mangalore around 50 kms to Udupi. There is one toll which costs Rs 45 for four wheeler, single trip. Double trip costs 70. While going to Udupi, don't miss to visit Udupi Sri Krishna temple, which is nice place to visit. Most part of this stretch is four lane. On the way to Udupi, there are some excellent beaches are there. If you have time, you can just relax in these beaches. Some of the beaches in the route are Kapu, Sasihthlu, Panambur (almost everytime, I used to go to Panambur, excellent one) & others.

Road Trip - Bangalore to Mangalore via Kunigal, Channarayapatana, Hassan

Last travelled on 5 Mar 2016.

The route is,

Bangalore - NICE road - Nelamangala - Take left from Nelamangala by pass to Mangalore road - Kunigal - Channarayapatana - Hassan - Sakleshpur - Uppinangadi - Bantwal - Mangalore

Total distance - 380kms

Bangalore till Hassan is four lane road and the road is in good condition. You can race along the road. From Hassan it is two lane road. After Sakleshpur, ghat road begins. Its a pretty long ghat road, about 30 kms. Besides ghat road there is a water fall, its a pretty great experience. Some curves in the ghat road are very huge and dangerous, be careful with that. Also, there is a heavy truck traffic along the road. As Mangalore has lot of oil & gas refineries, you can find lot of bullet tankers on the road.

After ghat road ends (Gundya), if we go straight on NH 48 or NH 75 for around, 20 kilometres, then there are clear sign boards to take right for Dharmasthala.

There is two lane road at Channarayapatana by pass. After travelling in 4 lane, sudden two lane is a bit surprise. After few kilometres again four lane starts.
