My Karnataka motorcycle trip - stage 1

In November/December 2008, I did a one-month motorcycle tour of Karnataka. Started from Mysore. My first stop was Sravanabelagola. Stayed at Hotel Raghu in the centre of town. Rooms from Rs 100 to Rs 250, some with balcony, TV, A/C. Very clean & friendly. Good veg restaurant on the main floor.

Drove through Hassan next day. Charmless with bad roads. Wouldn't want to stay there, although there is a good selection of accommodation.

Stopped in Belur. Stayed at Sumukha Residency, Temple Road. Rooms from Rs 250 to Rs 600. Very clean, good location close to the temple. Close to the KSTDC Hotel Mayura, which charges Single Rs 300, D/400, T/500 plus tax.

Stayed a couple of days for the weather to clear. Made a day trip to Halebid.

Then I'll go via Sringeri to Udupi and Malpe and up the coast to Gokarna.
