Bangalore - Jog Falls Road Conditions
- Thread Starter AR Ram
- Start date
Wow. Another trip on the line.
Roads are not in the best shape I heard. My co-brother's native is sirsi (50km odd km from jog).He went by bus and did not want to drive. Should be better than the peak you visited a week back.

Re: Bangalore-Jog falls road conditions
Thank you appus for the information.
This trip was planned earlier as I sent a PM to you. I thought on the way I will visit Jog falls, as there will be heavy water flow after the rain. Last couple of times it was a disappointment going to Jog falls as there was no water.

Re: Bangalore-Jog falls road conditions
I thought, if the road is good I will go via. Tumkur>Shimoga>Sagar>Jog falls>Kumta>Ankola>Panaji else-
Davengere>Haveri>Mundgod>Karwar. Last August I took this route and the stretch from Mundgod to Ankola was not all that good. I don't know the present condition.
I am yet to finalize the route. Do you have any suggestion?

No issues. Let me know by tonight if possible.
I am leaving on Sunday morning and I can't stay back at Jog falls, as I booked the accommodation at Goa starting from Sunday. I thought I will start little early in the morning and take the route via Sagar and cover Jog falls on the way, and reach Goa by evening. This is possible only if the road condition is good. I think Jog falls is another 40 kms inside from this route.
He says 'Shimoga to Sagar' route is not that great condition.
Chitradurga-haveri is okay itseems. Haveri to Sirsi (around 70km) is kind of bumpy roads.
He says 'I was sleeping'![[anger]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Anger.gif "Anger [anger]")

I am really confused. I think you cant take his words :( .

Let me decide something in two days. Meantime there may be some inputs.
Anyway I will keep you updated.

Any way I am taking Jog falls route only. Another hassle is the rain. As per the forecast, heavy rain will be there on Sunday on all the way to Goa
I did Jog falls last year, just before monsoons. http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/voyage-junction/7523-bangalore-goa-my-small-family-my-manza-me-2.html
Though the road is just two lane (most of it), the picturesque route compensates for that (Shimoga route). The roads were narrow, but in good condition (2nd monsoon after that). The roads were being repaired and about to be completed.

Thank you nozzlering
I did this route couple of times and the last was in 2010. Its a beautiful stretch with more of greenery all the way and you really enjoy the drive.
I had seen your TL last year itself, and now once again I had gone through and its really wonderful.
Your AC problem was this I guess... Sometimes, when you are using the AC continuously for long time, there is chance if ice formation in the evaporator, by which the cooling efficiency will be reduced. It is just like the ice formation inside the freezer of the fridge(old type). In such times, you can switch off the AC and run the blower at the maximum speed for few minutes, so that all the ice will be melted, and then press the AC switch, you will find it working normally. This is happening because the thermostat cut off system is not functioning properly.
