While this is a slightly round about route, we prefer this route as the road conditions around Chikkabalapura town has always been a mixed bag over the last few years.
Devanahalli – Doddabalapura: Good 2L roads but do keep a look out for deviations where the 4L sections are ready.
Doddabalapura – Tondebavi: Again decent 2L roads with some under construction sections.
Tondebavi – Machenahalli: Very good 2L section with very sparse traffic and lots of fields all around.
Machenahalli – DG Halli Dam: Mixed roads. Few small sections of broken roads as you turn left from machenahalli towards the dam road. A long stretch of new concrete road and then a short stretch of mud road with lots of craters which you need to negotiate to reach the dam.
