The ancient architecture is very mesmerizing. We just chose the shortest route that Goole Maps came up with at the time. However, time was a constraint for us on this trip. I researched about the best route on team-bhp.com and other forums. I became too adventurous and planned to throw in Chikmanglur and Jog Falls in the onward journey and Chitradurga in the return journey. We stayed here for one night at the KSTDC hotel. But who goes to Goa in the monsoons? Here’s a basic Bangalore to Goa road map for this route: We wanted to be for lunch in Karwar and for the sunset on some beach in Goa, that was all we had decided for this Bangalore to Goa road trip. Dharwar beach was a pleasant break but I personally didn't like Gokarna so much as it was super crowded due to the nearby temple. I read about this place somewhere online. My whole family thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip. Aguada Fort - You can give this one a miss if you've covered Chapora. The shortest of the six routes. We visited Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral on a nice and sunny day. There are three routes you can take to have a wholesome road trip to Goa. The rains were never a hindrance to any of our plans and made everything around even more pleasant. This fort is also nice but Chapora wins for me. We had already covered the whole of Kerala by road in our 2005 family trip, so that was out of question. This hotel is located at the best possible spot and we got stunning views of the fall from our room. This beach was very close to where we stayed for the first 2 days. My parents and my brother were visiting me in July 2014 and I took a week off from work. Alternately you can go via Dharwad – Haliya – Dandeli -Jagalbet – Castlerock – Anmod which is a lovely drive through forests! Driving on the crowded city roads was not a very attractive argument but still there are many places nearby which are easily accessible by road and which I had always wished to explore. This beautiful waterfall which is created by the Sharavati River, is the second highest plunge waterfall in India. Latest update – The Anmod Ghat road is open for traffic after repairs. Driving distance on the favoured route through Hubli NH4 and Karwar NH63 NH17 is at 706 kms*. So I bought my first car – my very own Honda Brio – in January 2014. It was always very crowded. The final 5 day trip looked like: While going we took the Bangalore-Mangalore highway, had a quick stop-over at Arsikere, stayed overnight at Jog Falls and then reached Goa via Gokarna and Dharwar the next day. Away from the regular crowded beaches, I loved this quiet little place called Siridao Beach which is also known as ‘Shell Collector’s Beach’. Old Goa - Now I'm not a big fan of history but visiting the Cathedrals and Churches in Old Goa was not a bad idea indeed. Otherwise it is nice drive. However, it is always advisable to check for live traffic updates and use real-time maps for a better understanding of the road conditions. We were the only 4 people on the entire stretch and it was a beautiful and clean beach. I was given the task to choose a place where we could leisurely spend 4-5 days. In the early morning the falls were engulfed with fog and it was an absolutely spectacular sight to witness. The distance to Pondicherry was much less as compared to Goa and all four of us had never been there. I fell in love with this place as there were no crowds here and also lots and lots of sea shells. We stayed near Siridao Beach for 2 days and at Calangute Beach for one day. Everything was so green and it rained on and off here. We had lunch at Taj Aguada which also offers fantastic views of the fort and the beach. While returning we took the Goa-Davangere-Chitradurga-Bangalore route and drove home in 11 hours straight. This highway is amazing, a lot of toll booths on the way but totally worth it. Pondicherry and Goa were the two final contenders. We came here for witnessing the most perfect beach sunset and also stayed here fr a night. After the occasional Nandi Hills and Mysore road trips, I thought I was ready for a “long drive”. Jog falls was better than what I had seen in pictures or imagined in my head. These Portuguese heritage Churches are definitely worth a visit. The forts were green with mossy green walls and the beaches were refreshing with occasional rains. In my honest opinion, the best time to visit Goa is July - August. View Map. Alternately, as scenic a route is through Dharwad NH4 and Ponda SH34 NH4A NH17 is shorter at (592 kms*). Well I didn’t mind, so we decided on Goa. Or you take a more coastal route and also visit Gokarna en route your Bangalore to Goa road trip. At Jog Falls, we stayed at the KSTDC property which is right in front of the falls and offers a fantastic view from the room.
