hehe check out my personal site www.yogeshsarkar.com and triplog section on bcmtouring www.bcmtouring.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1 they dont contain all of the rides I have done till now, but do contain about half or more accounts of the trips/rides i have dont till now.

ps. When i left i was a admin, not a mod

The Road from Bangalore to Mangalore can be best described in stages. Bangalore to Saklespur, just OK with some spots of major damage to the highway. Saklespur to Nellyadi, ghat road, damaged around the bends. Nellyadi to Bantwal, just OK...... Then Bantwal to Mangalore..... 25 kms of torture. You would rue the decision to come down to Mangalore.

Take care guys.....

bro.. your info is quite helpful and indeed wat i was looking for "condition of roads" can u tell me abt the Bantwal to m'lore road and even if any possibility of any othr go so tat i can opt tat. and bro. i jst got to do this trip on a bike. its my many days dream. i have never done 500km above trip till date. and i want this 1k trip done and even dont even want to change the schedule well can u plz tell me abt wheathr. i heard its raining cats n dogs...

found ur passion for bikes and ur site kuel.... great going bro.

Except for the roads (which are really bad - particularly in the ghats and from Bantwal - Mangalore) the rains are manageable. It rains, at times heavily, but not continiously.

All ghat roads are the same during monsoons, so cannot suggest alternate.
