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

#shiradighat #charmadighat #mangalorehighway
kripal amanna, kripal amanna vlogs, bangalore mangalore highway, which route to take to mangalore, shiradi ghat vs. charmadi ghat, shiradi ghat, charmadi ghat, which route is better for inexperienced drivers, which route has more road work, which route is shorter, karnataka tourism, jimny vlogs, jimny life, jimny 4wd, gourmet biker, gourmet on the road, food lovers tv, food lovers india
A question I’m often asked, especially since I make the trek to Dakshina Kannada ever so often, is which route should one take. The more commonly used Shiradi with its broad highways, albeit with road work happening on many stretches, or the more scenic but slightly longer Charmadi ghat route.
To answer this question, I drove both routes on my recent visit to Mangalore. Hope you find this vlog useful and interesting too.

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 💯

[@venkatakrishnachbhat3753]

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

[@RX-wo3tz]

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.

[@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.❤

[@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

I went through Shiradi Ghat in FEB. it was a nightmare. Once you are done with the Shiradi ghat section, the road is on and off and its full of big trucks. the last 150km is very exhausting. I'd honestly go to Mangalore via Udupi

Kripal Dada one request from my end. Can you please make some vlogs on typical road side Udupi style South Indian delicacies like mini idli sambar chutney, crispy dosas, sambar vadas, khara bhat, filter coffee etc. etc. I love to watch videos where the vlogger visits road side eateries selling the above mentioned breakfast items early in the morning. Please do a vlog on Bengaluru road side small thelas owned by poor hard working Ammas. Please Kripal Ji. 🙏

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

[@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.

[@raghunandan6805]

After Hassan till Dharmasthala cross road is not in good condition. Specially at night towards Hassan from shiradi it's very difficult to drive. No sign boards No white lines on roads.. God knows when govt will fix it

Had a bad incident happen to me near Kanyadi. To people who are reading this. Please avoid Shiradi ghat route. Go via balehonnur, charmadi or madikeri.

[@oceanpearl493]

If i have to travel from Bangalore to Karwar, the best and safest route will be Bangalore - Varur(near Hubli)- Karwar. Tried Madikeri route but its too curvy and small roads...

[@sunithaprabhu9333]

Just enjoyed your ride from Bangalore to Mangalore. Definitely the route back will be good rather than this one. ❤

[@zrn1072]

Why not considering Madikeri (via Mysore) route or Bisle Ghat (via Channarayapatna, Arkalgud, Shanivarasanthe, Subramanya, Puttur)?

[@alphaomega5017]

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

Bangalore Mysore Madikeri Mani Mangalore is the best route. Road quality is superb.

[@amnsbharath]

[@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.

[@nivin72]

Shouldn’t have taken diversion below flyover just before sakleshpura.. you should have climbed sakleshpura bypass flyover which is still under construction but open.

I wish I got to view this video 3 days ago... I came back from Mangalore via B.C road and Nelyadi - shiradi ... B.C road to Nelyadi was a hell with so much big stretch of road repair once I reached Nelyadi I was in sakaleshpur with in 1 hour 15 min...

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. 😎

[@shahnawazkhan2343]

Hi Kripal Sir Im waiting for your return trip video, Today I took the sakleshpura route to Mangalore from hosur after 250km the roads are under construction To too many many Diversion, I left 5am from hosur reached Mangalore around 1pm, it's a good root the ghats were really lush green I enjoyed the drive apart from the new roads under construction , I suggest for now please don't use this route if it rains and water stagnant you won't know we're there are patches and deep water holes it's not safe after 6pm since the roads our under construction and specially after rain , this is based on my today's experience Thank you

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Yes, the ghat section is fine, it is the roads after getting towards Mangalore taht are a challenge. the Charmadi ghat video will be out this Sunday.

Hair oil for Kripal Amanna 😂

[@ArshadClickz]

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.

Let me tell y’all…I’ve been driving Blore to Mlore since the 80s…before the two laning and after……still can’t recommend which one best…..so what we do is whichever road is good condition😂….this is the only way….both routes have their beauty, very difficult to choose, coz u miss one…😊

What about Bisile Ghat Route sir? It is isolated from Kukke till we reach the Bisile Ghat view point which is a concern during night travel. Traffic is less which is both advantage and disadvantage...

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Don't think I've driven through it, what is the route?

[@crazydevil4392]

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.
