Best route to Mysore from Goa

anshurao · 6th November 2008, 18:52

Hi Guys,

I'll be driving from Goa to mysore next weekend. I usually take this route
Goa-Karwar-Ankola-Sirsi-Sagar-Shimoga-Chikmagalur-Hasan-Mysore

It would be nice if someone could suggest a better route. This one takes too much time.

Thanks,
Anshu

there have been a lot of negative reports of the route you have mentioned - very bad road conditions. Please check Bangalore - Goa route query thread. I would suggest that you do the following route:

Goa - Karwar -Hubli -Davangere - Chitradurga -Tumkur. Then take the NICE road to Mysore road (bypassing Bangalore). Though the route will be longer, the driving experience would be much better and the time taken would probably be the same.

I Via Yellapur/Sagar/CKM/Hassan : 690 As Per GM

Panaji, Goa to Mysore, Karnataka 570001 - Google Maps

II Via Yellapur/Hubli/Bangalore 800Km as per GM

Panaji, Goa to Mysore, Karnataka 570001 - Google Maps

Option I seems to be good, but with limited hotels/breakpoints etc.

I've begun to dislike the NH 206 these days :( But you have the time and patience ( to endure ) and pull in few more memories, take that NH206.

If you do : from shimoga -> tarikere -> lingadahalli -> kemmannugundi -> lingadahalli - chikkamagalur ( don't really know the your schedule or the time you have on hand or if you plan to "visit" places on the way).

If one is on a long drive (as in this case from Goa), I wont recommend the route via Kemmangundi.
Better to take the Kadur road via Sakkarepatna to CKM.

hi
goa to shimoga is needed. from shimoga to mysore is 200 kms. the correct route is shimoga- arsikere ( high way) . in arsikere town take a right turn ( you can ask any one for mysore road) a little after the bus stand. this comes to channarayapatna. channarayapatna to srirangaptna 60 kms then to mysore.

If you want to go via Chikmagalur, better take Shimoga-Tarikere-Lingadahalli-Santaveri-Chikmagalur-Hassan-Holenarsipur-Mysore. No need to go to Kemmangundi unless you want to visit it.

If you want to go directly, the route nutmello suggested holds good. Shimoga-Arsikere-Gandasi-Channarayapatna-Pandavapura-Srirangapatna-Mysore

Goa-Mangalore (NH17) and Mangalore-Mysore via Madikeri is something that I would do

this advice was late, bhatkal is pathetic.

i had some change on my plan. went calicut from Goa, then back to mysore. The below route, what is marked in read is not recommended. You will find it difficult to identify road in the marked area.

Hi Bhpians,

I am planning to visit Goa on the 22nd or 23rd. Route will be the following:

Mysore - Channarayapatna (breakfast at Kamath/CCD) - Arsikere - Shimoga - Sagar - Jog Falls - Honnavar - Karwar - South Goa

Spend 3-4 days covering South Goa, Panajim.

On the final day visit Dudh Sagar and drive to Hubli. Halt in Hubli and drive to Mysore via NH4 upto Hiriyur and then SH 19.

Questions:
1. After going through various posts came to know that Jog falls to Honnavar is in bad shape. Google maps shows an alternative through Mensi joining Siddapur Kumta SH 48 which is also shorter by 15 Kms. Anyone travelled in this route.

2. What is the best route from Dudh Sagar to Hubli, best in terms of road conditions.

Check with @ravibhat. He should have the latest update.

I think best option is:

Castle Rock-Anmod-Ramnagar-Joida-Dandeli-Haliyal-Dharwad Bypass.

Expect roads to be at best decent.
