SHIRADI Or CHARMADI Ghat? Which Route Should You Take To Mangalore? Vlog 269

[@ravishankars1420]

The best route in my opinion is via Madikeri through Sampaje ghats. A bit longer but more peaceful.

[@nisarcms]

100% True

[@anithap9088]

Correct

[@vijuvlogs]

Definitely right 👍🏻

[@KM_Sumanth]

Exactly 💯

[@janardhannaik9250]

My ancestors used to walk from Udupi district to Tirupati via the ghats long ago. They took around six months for the pilgrimage.

[@venkatakrishnachbhat3753]

Mysore Madikeri is the best route to Mangalore from bangalore right now.

[@RX-Ani]

Yeah gundya to bc road is horrible construction

[@vijuvlogs]

You are absolutely right 👌🏻 Only kalladka stretch needs patience but it's a breeze pretty much everywhere.. Kailash Parbat in Madikeri can be a stopping point or even Big Cup

[@santhoshreddy7358]

It’s a superb route.

[@RakeshPR-bm4nl]

And almost half is expressway till mysore,

[@ajeshkadri8563]

Bangalore Hassan route is nearest

[@amithdsouza6419]

@kripalamannavlogs my native is Maravanthe and my standard route for the last 5-6 years has been Bangalore-Tumkur-Hiriyur amd then left Manikanive gate then Hosadurga-Ajampura-Tarikere-Bhadra Wildlife-Thirthahalli-Agumbe Ghat-Ampar-Kundapura and thisbhas been amazing. Less traffic very convenient. And also thanks for all the food suggestions... We love it.❤

[@vijaykumarvijay2274]

How is agumbe ghat, are there airpin curved?

[@HUCCHAVENKAT6522]

Sir right Now best route to Mangalore is via Mysore madikere sampaje sullia puttur

[@rolwynjohann9645]

Both are bad routes now. I travel to Udupi - Bangalore frequently.if you want to Mangalore, then use Mysore - madikeri..but if you want to go to Udupi, don't take shirady or charmadi, nor sampanje(via madikeri). There is secret route that is as fast as the previous mentioned and with only 100 rs toll. After nelamangala toll, at yediyur take right to tiptur, arskire, banavar, kadur, bhadra wildlife sanctuary, thirtahalli, agumbe and then Udupi. 100% you will enjoy this coz it's something different to break away from the boredom charmadi and shirady.

[@snfab1]

i see dint know this is there time restrictions on the wildlife sanctuary roads

Bangalore to Mangalore via Shiradi ghat the time is less as the highway is widened. I just drove from Mangalore to Bangalore via Shiradi is pretty good but the roads from BC road until Nelyadi in between the roads were bad also this time we skipped entering Shaklespur town skipped as the new road got opened for Public

[@meltedjava5456]

Now a days best route is Mysore, Madikeri and Mangalore. Both routes are very bad now hugh traffic. If it rains in the weekend it will be horrific. We usually hear about shiradi ghat in the rainy season closed.

[@vernonlewis5671]

Offbeat but smooth 1. Bangalore-Shimoga-Hulikal Ghat-Siddapura-Kundapura or Barkur-Udupi-Mangalore. 2. Bangalore-Shimoga-Agumbe Ghat-(avoid Hebri-Manipal road as it's currently under works)Pethri-Brahmavar-Udupi-Mangalore

Always Shiradi is the route we should take to Mangalore in my opinion whatever the condition of the road is coz its some kind of ritual sort of thing, but now they have widened the roads and all the greenery has decreased, its loosing its charm, but any day, any condition, my choice is shiradi. We can try other ghats, but shiradi is my choice for mangaluru

There is no Oil Tankers on Shiradi route anymore. There’s a pipeline from mangaluru to Hassan.

Which route is better currently from Bangalore to mangalore ? Thank you

[@janardhannaik9250]

No you felt hungry earlier because of the heat as you were headed towards mangaloor. I never felt hungry much in bangaloor but the metabolism is fast in coastal area. Humidity also plays a difference. Plus the mention of eateries activated the hunger pangs.

[@pallavashetty]

Road conditions are worst via shirady , only try if you want some offroading thrill....too many tankers , you need a lot of patience overtaking them....charmadi road is the better option if you are travelling to udupi , may be mangalore too.. and its more scenic.

[@deepakdn9227]

Hey Kripal came back from Mangalore yesterday via madkeri, Mysore expressway,while going we took Shiradi ghat route, left Bangalore at 4.45 AM & reached Mangalore by 10.20AM.Just a 10 min stop at sakhlespur.The roads are bad but my Thar automatic just sails over it. We have tried the charmudi ghat earlier also which is more picturistic.You will enjoy the Madekeri route also ,but the cameras on the mysore expressway is going to take the enjoyment since you can't cross 100kmpl

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Hi Deepak, yes, if you have a good suv, the bad road bits present no problem. Both Thar and Jimny will do equally well. I haven't done the Madikeri route yet, hoping to next time. As for the speed cameras, I usually coast around 100 or so. 😎

As of now, Shirady is okay because after Charmadi the roads are under construction up to Ujire.. The SUV and MPV can easily pass through but for hatchback and sedan its slightly tough.. Of course condition and power of the car matters..

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

It's a toss up at present, both routes have parts under construction. But yes, smaller cars will present some discomfort for passengers on the rough stretches.

Good afternoon dear Kripal - Just returned home after my routine Sunday lunch with Dad. Now on to your vlog . So the question is to take the Shiradi or Charmadi ghat . Oh my look at the trucks literally running into you and can’t understand the right of way . MRPL was one of my key customers in my previous assignment. Some parts of the road is terrible . Now we have come to a good stretch 👌👌 Wow you have a phenomenal memory while driving on the Shiradi route . Ha ha that too fab Kripal . Like Google maps we need to have a Kripal food maps . This is brilliant you have been able to recollect each and every restaurant on either routes 🙏🙏 First pit-stop at Durga Shri mess in Sankleshpur . The waft of the aroma pulled you inside the eatery 😀 Time for some Bisi Bisi Mutton Biryani with Khaima Unde . Yes I was wondering why the colour of the Biryani is green in colour.and you immediately explained the reason . So happy to watch you relish the MB & CF 👌👌 I agree when there are fewer dishes and good quality and especially when one is hungry elevates the wholesome experience. Now that you have loaded with some good carbs & protein good to continue to travel to your destination. I agree with you ; enjoy the journey coz we all know our eventual destination. The suspension of the Jimny is quite good 👍. The drive on Charmadi is quite scenic, however this route is also quite beautiful 👌 Great camera work 👍 Did you mount the Insta 360 on the bonnet ? Yes this route is arduous because of the infrastructure development. Much needed break at KT to have the popular layered Tea and that “Aah”’says it all 😀😀 Next is the Rim Jim coffee ☕️ Whoa you are mixing your beverages . Anyways you know your body quite well 👍 Yes this route was arduous nonetheless good that you took the route 👌 Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog . Motovlogs are always fun to watch. Love the way you keep informing us about the pros and cons as you drive on such routes . It’s certainly informative and that would be helpful to many folks who intend to drive from Bengaluru to Mangaluru. Thanks so much for investing your time to put together such a detailed vlog on a route 💯💯💯 Take care & God bless 😇 Have a wonderful Sunday 👍 Tomorrow we have our voting in Mumbai .

Shiradi route is shorter but there are patchy roads as the construction is going on still.......that will waste a lot of time......... Whereas, if you opt sampaje ghat route ( via Mysore, madikeri), you will take 1.5 hours extra as it is zig zag and 2 way road. However, if you travel from charmadi ghat route (via belur, Chikmagalur), the road condition is too good. Only challenge will be zig zag and unpredictable turn. Otherwise, it's very scenic and fun to drive 😊😊

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

I am not sure of the Madikere route as I haven't done that yet. However, I too would normally easily pick Charmadi over Shiradi. But it's not an easy call to make anymore as there's construction happening on the former route too, as youl will see in my next motorvlog in this series.

Hi Kripal Amana....... I and our family are lovers of road journeys. I got tempted to view this vlog of yours, away from your food ones though. Need you advice on this Shiradi route to Mangaluru. You say the ghat section is not much of bother and with very less climbs, etc..... pls tell me would it be very difficult for a cyclist to do this from Mangaluru to BLR, via Shiradi with the gradiant, ... would it be difficult to pedal up ? Also I would love to know of this same info on the Charmadi ghat route, when you are on your way back to BLR. Look forward....... Thank you, Keshavdas..... Vashi, Navi Mumbai.

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Hi Keshavdas, I think the Shiradi route definitely has gentler gradients than Charmadi, although with plenty more traffic. Also the highway expansion on both routes at present (before the ghats if driving from Mangalore) don't make things easier. And if you're thinking of attempting this now, the effect of rains on some stretches would present challenges too. Hope this helps.
