Enchanting Shimoga

Post by Sangeethakb | Bangalore | Sep 14, 2009

Travel from Shimoga to Sagara because most places can be covered from here. Have an umbrella always. The condition of roads is bad, take buses so you can travel fast and comfortably. A taxi / auto can leave with a bad back ache. You can reach by buses / trains. Frequent trains ply between Bangalore to Shimoga Town.

Shimoga - A Paradise waiting to be discovered

Best way to reach Shimoga is the overnight train from Bangalore. As for Stay, the only decent place to stay is Hotel Jewel Rock which is not to say much. Please refer my hotel review for more details. Some of the state highways are in dire need of repair - especially the one that leads to Kodali. The place is not tourist friendly so ensure that you have all the information that you need before you reach Shimoga. If you do not have your own mode of travel, use Autos. They charge you Rs. 20 for most destinations withing Shimoga Town. For nearby destinations like, Kodali or the Tiger safari etc its Rs. 150 - 200 for a return trip.
