Travelling tips from Bangalore to Chikmagalur
In harmony with nature
Bangalore-Neelamangala-Kunigal-Hasan-Belur-Chikmagalur. The roads are generally good. There are however areas where construction is still on and we need to take bypasses. Those roads offer bumpy rides. Still overall, can make good time.

Over the clouds
Reach to Chikmagalur by early morning 4-5AM; get freshened up and hit the road again by 6-7AM although it wont matter much as we had complete cloud cover until 11AM. Carry extra pair of footwear as your shoes are proned to get wet in the falls. Have shoes to protect your legs from leeches. Carry salt for the same reason during trek. Trekking in rainy season might be tricky so try to avoid it during the month of September. Since we had hired a cab, cannot advise much on public transport to the place.
