Somanathapura was in to-do list for long time, thought will give a visit. We visited Talakadu as well.
And my bike completed 30k mark :-)
Route Details:
Bangalore - Maddur - Mallavali - Bannur [Take left before] - Somanathapura - Talkadu - Ballegere Mallavali - Bangalore
Total Kms: 290 kms
Roads are not good STILL between Talkadu - Ballegere, rest was Ok. [Not considering the Bangalore - Mysore highway which is Good]
