Is This The Best Route To Mangalore Now? No Bad Roads! Bengaluru - Madikeri - Sampaje Ghat, Vlog 276

kripal amanna, kripal amanna vlogs, bangalore mangalore highway, which route to take to mangalore, sampaje ghat, madikeri, mysore expressway, sampaje ghat vs. shiradi ghat vs. charmadi ghat, which route is better, which route is shorter, which route is better for inexperienced drivers, which route has more road work, coorg cuisine, madikeri, hotel mookambika, madnoor, karnataka tourism, jimny vlogs, jimny life, jimny 4wd, gourmet biker, gourmet on the road, food lovers tv, food lovers india
In response to my Charmadi vs. Shiradi route drive vlogs to Mangalore, I received recommendations from some viewers on an alternative route. This route takes the Mysuru expressway, onward to Madikeri, before descending the scenic Sampaje ghat to Dakshina Kannada. How does this route fare when compared to the usual one? Does it take longer? Is there road work happening? Well, I drove the entire stretch to answer these questions, and more. Hope you find this vlog useful and interesting.

Good afternoon dear Kripal - Just through with a Celebratory lunch with my family on India’s memorable win in the finals of the T20 World Cup 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 . Now to your vlog . As usual you love to go to Mangaluru given the smallest excuse needed to visit your Bastion 😀 Great that you have taken inputs from our fellow viewers. Very scenic view 👌👌 The granite hillocks are wonderful to watch. That’s the purpose of an expressway is to truncate the travel time and glad that they you enjoy riding on the B-M expressway. Yes let me watch that vlog and help jog my memory on your travel on this route . Excellent advice on Safe Driving on such Expressway which might tempt certain drivers to go overboard which is unsafe . Wonderful camera angles 👍 Payana means travelling from one place to the other . Wow the route is indeed beautiful. First pitstop at Hot Cup for a Cup of Coffee ☕️ Oh wow there is a Tibetan settlement en route . Images from Insta 360 rocks 👍👍 Yes the weather seems to be overcast . 268 Kms in 5 hours from home to Madikeri is a good time . Now for some lunch at Coorg Cuisine . Glad you had an excellent lunch at Coorg Cuisine . What was supposed to be just a lunch has turned into a GOTR vlog 😀😀 Look forward to that vlog . Was it a planned shoot ? Suddenly the weather has turned quite misty . Ok so you give this route a 👍 Time for some Tea at Hotel Mookambika along with a slice of Kalthapa along with Chutney 👍 I agree Charmadi route is more scenic. I have watched both the earlier vlogs on the Charmadi and Shiradi . I thoroughly enjoy all your Sunday special Motovlogs or Drives . Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog . Because of your commentary while you are driving we get to know so many new things about places , routes , pros & cons . Fantastic dear Kripal 💯💯💯 Take care and God Bless 😇 Wishing you a Happy Sunday . Loads of Love & Respect 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️

Wow, I travelled the same route to Mangalore a month ago and stopped by Coorg Cuisine for lunch! Very nice video Kripal Sir!!

[@blc-Myblog]

Hi Mr.Krupal, I love watching all your episodes. Keep exploring the places you visit whenever possible. The word "Payana" means journey. I wish you all the best and am eager to meet you sometime soon. In fact, in the month of July, I drew on the same route but from Mangalore to Bangalore, it was a great experience and not much traffic. We took almost 8 1/2 hrs to reach Bangalore.

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Thank you, glad you enjoy our work. Yes, this route makes for a very pleasant drive.

[@srinidhir8211]

Thanks for exploring ...Payana means journey the museum is like journey of wheel's

[@dheerajkarkera4787]

Hi, Thank you for sharing drive experience on different routes from Bangalore - Udupi. I recently travelled to udupi 3 weeks back and came back to bangalore last week. As a not so experienced driver, while going to udupi i travelled via Charmadi ghat. We felt the entire journey as smooth, did not get tired at all till we reached udupi. While coming back 1 week back, surprisingly we chose the same route to reach bangalore (udupi- Puttur- Sampaje- Mysore bangalore). But we felt a lot tired when reached bangalore. I would like to mention the following points to the reader before choosing madikeri mysore route: 1. Kalladka road is under construction, which gives you tiredness in the begining of your journey. 2. Sampaje Ghat is super easy as there are no much sharp pins and not so deep. So easy to ascend. 3. But roads around madikeri is very narrow with curves and difficult for me as a new driver specially if it is raining 4. Though many people say it os smooth, There were more than hundreds of humps on the way from madikeri to mysore, giving enough works to your legs making it tired. I could not use cruise control features efficiently on this route. At certain points i felt i could not get the best performance of my car during this route journey. so watchout for those humps In my opinion i felt Charmadi route is smooth, I can travel at a constant speed in entire journey, making use of cruise control giving enough rest to legs.

[@prashanthkamath7437]

Bangalore - Sakaleshpura - Gundya - Ujire -Naravi - Bajagoli - Belman -Shirva - Katapadi is a better route.

[@LallaLaaLee_LallaLaaLee]

[@mamathakr106]

A further shorter route in the same direction is Bengaluru - Srirangapatna - KRS Road -Ilvala - Hunsur - Madikeri - Sampaje - Mangalore. This bypasses Mysore completely and saves time. Have been using this road for >15years now to go to Manipal. Last trip overnight was in 7hrs. Excellent road throughout, except the short stretch from Mani-BC Road which is under construction.

[@sidhusri07]

Mani to BC Road circle is pathetic, except that Bengaluru - Mysuru- Madikeri-Mani- Mangaluru route is superb in road condition. Off course Mysore to Madikeri it’s a patchy road, but mostly good to drive.

[@santoshs6194]

Payana/Prayana is Kannada word meaning Journey

[@FuriousGuy2024]

U can go from Nelemangla route too I went in ford ecosport Bangalore to Mangaluru on nelemangla route

[@arunvmw1]

The good realization is that the Expressway is the best route to Udupi and Mangalore via Mysore. Though many friends answered..... Prayana is a word usually used for Journey/Travel. But, Payana is used in a poetic sense when using the journey of a lifetime Jeevana Payana, Snehada Payana, etc., and Yathre is used when it is more around Pilgrimage. The car museum was created by Dharmasthala Trust depicting the Journey of Four Wheelers and hence named after Payana. I suggest visiting this place for all the viewers as the entry fee is nominal and gives some breaks though it disappointed me in terms of the collection of cars (Because I felt my car inside). There is a Veg restaurant also "Hare Govinda" which provides good food/beverages.

[@cvishnuvajhala]

It helps if you can also pass some advice on the speed restrictions on Mysore expressway. Many times, the speed limit switches between 80kmph and 100kmph. One should be mindful and keep an eye on the speed limit. Else, be ready to cough out 1000Rs up every violation. 😀.

[@pavancv7122]

sir try travelling through agumbe ghat - roads are bit narrow but its drive able - also there is one more ghat called hulikal ghat to reach kundapura and udupi, Also if you want to try drive through kalasa kudremukha road to reach udupi its a longer route but a scenic route

[@janardhannaik9250]

Yes u r right since u were in the rain shadow region there was just drizzle or no rain but once you descend the ghats nothing can be predicted about the climatic conditions.

[@observercommenter6679]

You rightly said about the driving on the expressway or even a highways. With many just wanting to zip thru ,without bothering or following lane discipline can be a cause of accident or inconvenience to the disciplined rule following drivers or riders. Truck drivers are notorious always being on the wrong lane. Car drivers many think, because they drive hi end cars, want to just drive speed and rash too. India may have good international standard highways being made, but what use if safety is not a priority for many who drive on these roads . Until we Indians change our attitude ,habit and have civic sense ,being in public places or driving through the best roads cannot be a good experience. We should learn and practicse to respect traffic rules , traffic discipline and honour other drivers driving besides .

I have taken this route before Mysore expressway was opened and it takes a lot of time due to narrow roads and traffic. But it is better than Shiradi Ghat route if you want a smooth ride on your car.
