6 days 2800 kms 4 states

Left Mumbai on Friday morning. Pravin was at Dahisar Check Naka at 8.30 AM.
We quickly took the the way for Panvel for joining Pune expressway. Had a good brunch @McD, Kalamboli. Quickly we crossed Pune and were on Pune-Bengaluru Highway.
By 1:30PM we reached Satara and met mansing there. Had some good chicken@chikane dhaba.
Left by 4 from there and then continued our journey till we reached Davangere. Halted there for Dinner at a restaurant where Sardarji was speaking Tulu.
Reached Shatru’s place BTM,Bengaluru at 3AM.Halted that night at Shatru’s place and the next night at Abhilash’s place. And all we did there was binge drinking!!!
Next day by afternoon we left for coorg via Mysore
Reached Coorg at night. Stayed there at a Home Stay.
Next morning left for Kerala….reached Wayanad(Kuruva island). The place was good the climate wasn’t. It was dan hot in kerala during March. So we decided not to stay there. We kept our journey on towards coast. Reached Mahe (part of Pondicherry) by 9 PM. Liquor was as cheap as water but climate was s Humid to survive. First time in our trip in recent years we opted for a AC room.
Next day early morning we left from Mahe as surviving daytime in Mahe ws too sweaty , with a planned night halt. Shatru was forcing us to take the same route back via Bangalore, but we wanted a different one and the option was open to us as we were on coast.
So we choose…Mahe—Mangalore- Udipi-Bhatkal- coastal route and wanted to go the same way till Goa, but from Hubli took a right to join Bangalore-Pune expressway due to shortage of time.

But the coastal journey was one of the most memorable as we visited few excellent places like Murudeshwar and Turtle Bay resort, Marwante, and the lovely backwaters along the way was enthralling.
We dropped Shatru at mangalore to continue his journey to Bangalore via bus. So basically he missed the fun part of it. It was Me+Doobs+Pravin+Kammo who started from Mumbai and reached back Mumbai after 6 days compelling journey visiting South-West India’s some great places.
