From Bangalore to Mysore then on to Hunsur to Bettadpur to Kushalnagar to Madikeri or Coorg. The road is Ok. Dont expect Highway conditions but ok for a bike rider. Enjoy.

* steep humps on Mysore Madikeri road, when you don't expect them
* overtaking vehicles on the hilly regions and turns
* be extra cautious on your drive to Abbey falls, road is treacherous
* if you're driving in night, Mysore road is to be driven extremely careful hardly anybody lower the high beam and if you're driving a low-lying vehicle you're bound to take it badly
* in the night, you might end up meeting some wild friends in the stretch from Kushalnagar to Suntikoppa. wild elephants roam some time during night through these roads. but day time you won't find anything
* herds of cows and sheep, stray dogs and pigs on Mysore Madikeri stretch
