From TirthaHalli, the route via Tarikere -Bhadra sanctuary & Dam - Hosadurga - Vanivilas dam - Hiriyur - Blore route is also very good. Less traffic & smooth drive. Takes lesser time compared to Belur route.
Kripal I would like to suggest one more Route which you have not yet explored I believe . Its Karkala > Bajagoli ( you can reach Ujire from this place by diverting ) > Mala Gate > S.K Border ( Sringeri Koppa Border ) . ( you can divert To Sringeri from here ) to > Samse > Kalasa ( you can divert to Kottigehara > Mudigere from here ) to Magundi > Aldur > Kadur > Bangalore . This entire stretch Passes through Kuduremukh Reserve Forest . And Coffee estate after Samse Forest gate . You can visit Tea estate if You divert From Madungi towards Balehonnur . Hornadu temple is also nearby . You can watch Sahyadri mountain range throughout your journey . Off course there are no such attractive eateries to shoot vedios . Now its Rainy season and best time to visit .
@shishirs2007 Baison , Deer , Various types of Snakes , King cobra are common in this Road / Area . Especially Near Lakya Dam area , Ganesh Temple . There is a Forest Camp in Bhagavathi forest . One should be very careful in this area . Few people make Vedio shooting also here . Which is very dangerous .
Getting to the spot to watch the sunset or spotting a king cobra are unforgettable memories. I recall our van being unable to climb the steep road following one of the hairpin bends and the driver having to jump out to find a rock to shove under the rear tire to prevent the van from falling into the ravine. It is definitely not for the faint-of-the-heart.
Thank you, Amigo, for driving around and showing us the beautiful forest and ghat drive. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and we truly appreciated your efforts. We love it. Take care, stay safe, and be blessed!
Actually after Aldur you take right then you come to place called Handi from there 6km to place called baskal(mudigere belur route2) is single lane. I used to take this route from Brahmavar to BTM 2nd stage. Totally its 410Km.
@@KripalAmannaVlogs Absolutely right. Green fresh air is a must after the hot summer months .... It's still raining here, and will last till the month of August first or second week ... is it still raining there?
Thanks so much. I used to drive up the Agumbe Ghats in the early 1980's on my motorcycle, while I was a student at Manipal. Great memories. Woody, South Africa
In Agumbe > at few Kilometer distence there is place called KUNDADRI . This place is again mesure a height of Agumbe . At its top there is Jain temple around 1000 years old , well maintained , good architecture . You can watch a very beutiful Landscape from this height . May be 1500 > 2000 Ft ASL . The road / Area is protected by Forest Dpt . Visitors allowed from 9 Am to 4 pm . Nothing except Forest . Steep climbing , Motorable road . Must visit .
Hi Kripal. Thanks a ton for sharing this route. I shall definitely give it a try. Recently drove down from Belgaum to Mangalore taking the Khanapur-Bhagvati-Yellapur-Sirsi-Kumta Axis. The first 3 places were a torture to drive, given the road conditions full of pot holes and craters. But the ghat section was a respite and a treat to drive.
Awesome vlog! Picturesque drive for sure. Thanks and appreciate for making this vlog with superb narration. Please make more superb travel vlogs driving in the ghat sections. Greetings from Plano, Texas, United States.
Nice homely guy now becomes a wanderlust, Jimny to blame. 1)What is to come Udupi via kudhremukha 2) Udupi via Chitradurga ,shimoga 3) Udupi via Mumbai 4) Udupi via Delhi 5) Udupi via vietnam😂 Loving it, keep it coming
Hello Kripal! This is your fan from Pune..I am watching your travel and food videos since last few months. You make excellent videos with amazing description about the places in South India. I love South Indian food and also the Vibe in South India as I have been to every state in South India..😁 Please keep making such positive vibe videos.✨♥️ -Parth Velankar
Hi sir Namaste. Really route is simply superb. Thank uiu very much gor yiur efforts to take video. All the best gor your future journeys and videos. BE SAFE. REGARDS KRISHNAKUMAR TN ❤❤❤
Loved every bit of this vlog..these parts are simply divine in the monsoons..the sights n sounds are a treat to the eyes..hope to make a monsoon trip sometime..
This is the best route to South Goa from Bengaluru. Its best if you leave Bengaluru early in the morning but I had left around noon on my bike. Sunset happened right when I was at the agumbe view point. It was a pretty scary route till kundapura as it was pitch dark inside deep jungle. Managed to reach South Goa around midnight. Nice memories from December 2021.
Dear Kripal, I live in west now and visit India once every 6 months. I am from Mangaluru while my in-laws live in Shimoga. So, I hire a car and drive on Agumbe ghat at least twice every time. There used to be a gaadi restaurant just before the Agumbe end of the ghat after hte forest department check post. He used to prepare very very nice goli baje(Mangaluru bajji).
Kripal, another fantastic vlog! I took the Agumbe route last year and it was every bit as scenic as you captured. The steepness definitely gets the adrenaline pumping! Loved your pit stops at Sri Sathyanarayana and Khandya - those are some hidden gems. Your comparison of Agumbe vs. Sampaje/Shiradi/Charmadi is super helpful for folks planning trips to this area. I've done those other ghats too, and it's great to have your insights on the differences. 👍 Keep the Jimny adventures coming!
I drove through this route on (24th July) towards Manipal and returned through this route on 28th July. Yes. Balehonnur to Chikmagalur to Belur is better. Google maps shows shorter route which has lot of pot holes
On the way to balehonnuru from agumbe _ before Balehonnuru there is a very good hotel at SEEGODU_ called SEEGODU CAFE,__ very nice hotel to enjoy south indian tiffins as well as dakshina Kannada foods
Hi sir, I watch your videos regularly, we too travelled in this route from Murdeshwar to Bangalore, driving thru Agumbe Ghat road, had great experience. Very nice content,
Kripal... Agumbe isn't the highest rainfall area anymore. It's Hulikal. And wrt eateries, most famous on sringeri ckm route is bhadra coffee shop. All regular drivers know this from 20 yrs. Easiest route is Agumbe - theerthahalli - bhadravathi - ajjampura - hiriyur - bangalore
Nice video and thanks a lot. But Agumbe ghat road is nothing compared to Pollachi Valparai inTN with over 30 hairpin bends or Mettupalayam Ooty with 14 hairpin bends and many other ghat roads in TN.But one needs to be very careful and give way in bends always to heavy vehicles.
Sir, next time when you take this route to Blr or to Udupi, please visit our hotel in Koppa - Sir Gajanana Bhavana which is the oldest Hotel in the town - since 1939.
Kripal sir nice vlog as always...there are lines of hotels on the Sita Nadi road...n the last hotel u find on the right hand side called Nandini hotel is owned by my brother in law...just before the ghats starts...it's a GSB hotel...
Lovely route ,it does NOT need any expertise for car driving, please be careful and keep your eyes fixed to the road ,don't be distracted by the scenery
Well , If you want to skip agumbe i ll give you another option…Drive to Karkala > Kudremuk > Kalasa > samse > belur snd the regular one .. this is the one i will take this week 😊
Thank you Kripal. I have health issues and the Vlogers like help me see the outside world. Thank you. Keep going. God bless you.
You are welcome, I wish you a speedy recovery. God bless.
You missed the masala dosa @ Mayura thirthalli
Agumbe ghats are the best ghat to drive on which improves our skills in the narrow curves
From TirthaHalli, the route via Tarikere -Bhadra sanctuary & Dam - Hosadurga - Vanivilas dam - Hiriyur - Blore route is also very good. Less traffic & smooth drive. Takes lesser time compared to Belur route.
Sir I take this route everytime to reach kundapura, it's the best route for a family ❤
Nice Relaxing video.....
What an exciting Sunday morning! The virtual experience was splendid.
Thanks Mohammed, glad you found this video exciting. Happy Sunday.
I felt i myself driving in this route. Very peaceful to watch. Keep exploring sir. Take care.
Kripal I would like to suggest one more Route which you have not yet explored I believe .
Its Karkala > Bajagoli ( you can reach Ujire from this place by diverting ) > Mala Gate > S.K Border ( Sringeri Koppa Border ) . ( you can divert To Sringeri from here ) to > Samse > Kalasa ( you can divert to Kottigehara > Mudigere from here ) to Magundi > Aldur > Kadur > Bangalore .
This entire stretch Passes through Kuduremukh Reserve Forest . And Coffee estate after Samse Forest gate .
You can visit Tea estate if You divert From Madungi towards Balehonnur . Hornadu temple is also nearby .
You can watch Sahyadri mountain range throughout your journey . Off course there are no such attractive eateries to shoot vedios .
Now its Rainy season and best time to visit .

Nice video. Peaceful Green country Roads. Incredible Karnataka.
We too visited this cafe last year. It was a great break and kids had sizzling brownie and surprisingly it was good.
The Blue colour painted house belongs to Congress leader Late Oscar Fernandes. It is his ancestral home.
❤My favourite one upto Shivamogga by mini bus during m tech in krec surathkal 1989 to 1992. Then it was narrow roads with thick forest
I can imagine what it would have been like.
@@KripalAmannaVlogs roads were green dark thick forests ... sometimes elephants bison grazing peackocks dancing lots of waterfalls.....

I'm from 2019 batch of KREC/NITK
Awesome drive.. you are right Amateurs should not risk Augumbe ghat
Hi Kripal Sir,Awesome vlog as usual with Mountain Goat accepting all the hurdles faced in the ghats...😊
@ 16:47 Yes sir, you are seeing the clouds looming over the mangalore tiles of malgudi days Doddamane🌧️
Very scenic route. Loved it
Awesome vlog! Picturesque drive for sure. Thanks and appreciate for making this vlog with superb narration. Please make more superb travel vlogs driving in the ghat sections. Greetings from Plano, Texas, United States.

Beautiful country drive. Liked the vlog. A little extra torque in the car can make it easy for such ghats. Depends on the driver as well. 13:19
Most enjoyable!Thank you for this opportunity.Indian meals are always delicious!Bless!
Glad you enjoyed it!

This vlog is really tempting for a family road trip 😅🎉
Beautiful vlog sir..scenic beauty in malenadu❤
Sir,next time try to go by Hulikal(Balebare) ghat [Udupi-Siddapura-Hulikal-Thirthahalli-Bengaluru] It may be long though
Everything ❤ lovely
Beautiful nature.
I drove through this route on (24th July) towards Manipal and returned through this route on 28th July. Yes. Balehonnur to Chikmagalur to Belur is better. Google maps shows shorter route which has lot of pot holes
Sir you can get down from aagumbe ,proceed towards theerthahalli-bhadra dam-tumkur -bengalooru
This is shorter route
Bisle Ghat to mangalore is also very scenic and beautiful. You should definitely give a try
Will do.
Definetly you have to try
Mysore to MM hills ghat is also challenging and trill as well. 27 hairpin turns
Dakshina Kannada ❤
Before balehonnur there is cafe called Seegodu cafe
Food and ambience is too good
Hello Kripal , Your travel videos are amazing
On the way to balehonnuru from agumbe _ before Balehonnuru there is a very good hotel at SEEGODU_ called SEEGODU CAFE,__ very nice hotel to enjoy south indian tiffins as well as dakshina Kannada foods
That black Nexon ,the beast
Wonderful vlogs and videos. Hope someday you will make a tour plan and take willing viewers....thanks
Sir you missed Ganesh Bhavana and Kerala Hotel in Koppa
As a Maharashtrian I must say,Mengaluru is the most beautiful cosmopolitan city in India,its beautiful ,no other city compares to it.,
relax
@@amitr4385 what happened bhenchddd0d
You would have taken Agumbe Koppa N R Pura Tarikere Kadur Tumkur Bengaluru route
there is one hotel in Hebri called Madkillaya Hotel. Its a old hotel but tasty food
Can you do a video on all old houses both in Bangalore and in Udipi and other areas. I too love old houses
Hi sir, I watch your videos regularly, we too travelled in this route from Murdeshwar to Bangalore, driving thru Agumbe Ghat road, had great experience. Very nice content,

I was always waiting that he doesn't captured this few places finally he was

should have tried golibaje in seethanadi , i guess you went in the afternoon when it is not available.
Sir, next time when you take this route to Blr or to Udupi, please visit our hotel in Koppa - Sir Gajanana Bhavana which is the oldest Hotel in the town - since 1939.
Hi @meghanag6867 We will look it up, do send the google coordinates and a message on instagram with details of the place if possible.
You missed Holla Holige house and Badkilaya hotel .... don't miss these two before you up the agumbe ghat
Kripal you should have taken the best route is Shimoga & Chennagiri and chitradurga
This hotel satyanarayana is famous for goli baje 😊
Kripal sir nice vlog as always...there are lines of hotels on the Sita Nadi road...n the last hotel u find on the right hand side called Nandini hotel is owned by my brother in law...just before the ghats starts...it's a GSB hotel...
Lovely
Kripal you couldve asked the locals there (passerby)😊 for the route
Hi Sir you came my native place madamakki before Someshwara take left it is very good thick forest
There is one more... Bisile Ghat. Try that
❤ From Hebri
Soooo lovely
From aldur you should have taken chickamagalore _ belur and Hassan road. That is better and broad
Neer dose looked very appetising but I could’ve done without looking at the kitchen😂
thank u sir.....🤩😍
hi do u connect ur phone to get the navigation map or google map? i have issue in getting the map
Lovely route ,it does NOT need any expertise for car driving, please be careful and keep your eyes fixed to the road ,don't be distracted by the scenery
Finally done with 14 hour surgery sir, now out of ICU, hoping your videos will entertain me and lot of videos to catch, thanks sir
You should have stopped at Krishna Cafe at Balehonnur
I wanted to, Shaun, remember your recommendations from earlier as well, but we were late. Another time perhaps.
Next time please try one of the hotels in Someshwar a town immediately after you descend the Agumbe Ghat
Hello sir. How is jimny performance on ghats. And also please make a ownership review if possible
Thank you
Excellent! Just crossed 5k kilometres on the Jimny.
How recommended is it to drive during the monsoon in ghats, considering the landslide situations happening across the country?
You would have gone via Udupi Hiriyadka Perdoor Hebri which is shorter.
Highway road work not completed
Food lovers to Road lovers 😂
Whats the 360 camera model?
Sir, is weather favourable to travel solo on bike?
You missed One of the oldest and holy place Sringeri in this route
Which you pronounced sampaje ghat. I am from that place😊
Well , If you want to skip agumbe i ll give you another option…Drive to Karkala > Kudremuk > Kalasa > samse > belur snd the regular one .. this is the one i will take this week 😊
Did u take Brahmavar Hebri road because of the construction that is going on in Hebri Udupi route?
You tried all the way try bisle ghat also ❤
Beautiful vlog...a passionate drivers fav route
How is your reverse camera sir
