Hi Guys,
I'm back with my recent TL which I done this month. basically It was a unplanned sudden trip.
I took 3 days(18th-20th) off from office, due to arrival of my Sister and her son to my home. But, they cancelled there visit due to some personal reason. But my leave got approved and had leaves for continuous 5 days(Including Sat and Sunday), So I don't want to waste the leave by sitting and watching TV at home and no mood to cancel the leave. So thought of going for the trip
Why Karanataka!!
Due to Sabarimala season, there will be heavy crowd everywhere in south Tamilnadu as well as in Kerala. So thought to go Hyderabad. But, heard that the transportation to Andhra got stopped from Tamilnadu on Tuesday due to some political situation at Chittor. So dropped Hyderabad from the list. So Karnataka was the only option.
For me, I never been beyond Banglore in Karnataka, So I was little bit nervous to proceed, even I don't know Kannada. so I was little bit scared. My dad visited Kollur Mookambika temple and Dharmastala some 15 years back, so he always telling to visit it again. But, I wished is to visit Murudeshwar(inspired by Mukesh, Rajvel and AR Ram sir's travelogue). So started a thread at Itnerary and got some ideas from our TAIndians.

First I called to Rajvel as instructed by Guralla and we planned the route. But, during the trip, the original plan has changed.
My Special Thanks to Rajvel, Mukeshus and AR Ram sir for guiding me throughout the entrie trip
No. of Occupants: Myself , my Dad and Mom
Car : My Beloved Vista VX(Whity)

Day 3 : Udupi - Mangalore - B.C.road(Halt)
Day 4 : Dharmastala - Bellur(Halt)
Day 5 : Halebid - Banglore - Vellore
Total Kms covered 1584Kms.
Day 1:Vellore - Banglore - Shimoga(Halt)
Actually I decided to drive for some long distance on the first day, so that my fear may get reduce. So decided to halt in Shimoga.
On Wednesday I waked up at 9:00am and informed about the plan to parents. As they are not aware of the exact plan, first they too confused. even my dad had some work. I asked my dad to postpone the work, so that we can start in the afternoon. then we started to pack the dress for 5 days including jackets and some other woolen stuff(To escape from cold). I washed and Waxed the car, even dad postponed the work to Next Monday and everything got ready at 11:30am and we started from home at 12Pm. filled the Tank at Vellore and headed towards Banglore.
Ready to GO!!!(After Washing and Waxing)
I forgot to click the tripmeter while starting, so stopped and clicked after 7.8Kms from Home
While having Lunch before Hosur(Home made Lunch)
Tea Break after after some 50Kms from Bangalore(In Banglore-Manglore Highway)
Road condition from Vellore to Banglore : Three lane wonderful road till banglore
Road condition from Banglore to Hassan : wonderful Four lane road,
From Hassan to Shimoga : Mostly two lane road. at some places it was single lane.
We reached Shimoga around 8:30. Before we reaching Shimoga, Had a word with Mukesh and he suggested some Hotel called Madura Palace for the stay. The hotel was decent with reasonable cost. It had good parking space next to Hotel with security.
Brought some Non-Veg dishes from outside and hit the bed.
