Driving in the rain (Kudremukh to Bangalore)

Its 8:30 am and Kudremukh is raining heavy. We plan to start our journey back to bangalore.


The kudremukh-bangalore route we usually take is

Kudremukh-samse-kalasa-Balehonnur-chickmagalur-belur-hassan-cr patna-bg
nagar-kunigal-nelamangala-bangalore.

This is a cool smooth route. And you have a great coffee shop located in a plantation after Balehonnur. But this time we decide to go an alternate route

Kudremukh-samse-kalasa-magundi-kottigehara-mudigere-belur-hassan-cr-patna-bg nagar-kunigal-nelamangala-bangalore

The rains are tough, visibility partial, sunlight rare, here are some snaps !

One note on the road from kottigehara-mudigere is horrible, full of potholes and maniac drivers racing over them.



At mudigere, i avoid sankleshpur as the road between sankleshpur and hassan sucks and get towards belur. The road from belur to hassan is a cute highway. Hassan to Bangalore is a 4 way highway.

Lunch was at Kamat Uphar - CR Patna who make nice north indian thalis that cost 60 bucks, costly for its size.

I drive into bg nagar where tehres a very cool coffee shop that make exceptional coffee.. don't forget to try this guy out.. he is exceptional. I reach Bangalore at 4 pm, late but acceptable for the number of win-e stops, photo - stops and coffee stops :)
