Another Road Trip
5 dudes, 5 days, 1463 kms in 1 car driving around the place they call "One State, Many Worlds" - my state, Karnataka.
Places visited: Chitradurga, Chandravalli, Tunga Bhadra Dam, Hampi, Koodala Sangama, Aihole, Pattadakal, Badami, Jenu Kallu Gudda, Magod Falls, Yana, Sonda, Jog Falls.
Here is a small sampling of the photos I took. More later at the usual place.
Roads? Great in some stretches, good in few others, needs repair in some sectors - notably, portions of NH13 between Chitradurga and Hospet, the Bijapur-Hubli stretch, the Yellapur-Sirsi stretch, Shimoga-Tarikere stretch. The good news is most of these roads are already under repair.
All in all, a wonderful and memorable trip. Our antics to find overnight accomodation is a big story in itself :-)
If you are planning for such a trip, you won't regret it.
PS: The car was an (almost new) Hyundai Accent. Cost per head (all inclusive) came to approximately Rs.2440. Very reasonable by any yardstick!

I think you should write a bit more about your trip. Too brief :-(
I will, just a matter of finding time to write it up.
Some of the incidents on the trip are really worth writing about... will happen soon.
my experience is, if it is not soon enough, it just won't happen ;-)
