Classic Karnataka tiffin to fuel a long ride — try rava idli or set dosa with filter coffee; ideal for an early start. Many branches open ~6:30am, confirm the nearest branch time before you leave.
Ride west on NH75 toward Hassan; the highway is direct and mostly open early, expect about 3.5–4.5 hours riding depending on traffic and breaks. Plan one or two short fuel/rest stops en route.
See the Chennakesava Temple at Belur and Hoysaleswara at Halebidu — outstanding 12th-century Hoysala carvings and a cultural highlight; generally open ~8:30am–5:30pm (confirm locally).
Try local Karnataka dishes or a well-reviewed restaurant in town; most places stay open through the evening — verify specific timings if you have a particular restaurant in mind.
Short visit to the star-shaped Manjarabad Fort for panoramic views (typically open ~8:00am–6:00pm), plus a coffee/tea break to rest before the ghats descent.
Descend through scenic, winding sections across the Western Ghats toward the coastal plains; road quality varies, so take care and allow extra time — expect ~3–4 hours including short stops.
Famous Krishna temple with daily sevas and evening aarti; typical visiting windows include morning and evening (commonly ~4:00am–1:30pm and 3:00pm–9:00pm), so confirm current timings for darshan.
Light early breakfast near the hotel (idli/dosa/coffee) to start the long return while it's cool and daylight is good; check-out and secure luggage on the bike.
Begin the long return ride using the fastest highway combination (NH66 → NH169 → NH75 or NH169 via Hassan), expect around 8–9 hours riding including stops; start early to avoid city congestion on arrival.
Expected arrival depends on Bengaluru traffic; park the bike, do post-ride checks, and if staying out, have a pre-booked hotel for ease of late check-in.
Reward yourself with a hearty dinner — options include Andhra meals, traditional Karnataka cuisine, or another favorite; use this time to plan any required bike maintenance after the trip.
