And Many more. 

​

No food zone

1. But once you cross Hassan and enter into Halebeedu road, you wont have any restaurants.

2. Even in Halebeedu there are no good restaurants to eat. In Hassan town, the restaurants might be closed due to Corona restrictions. Call the restaurants twice, if they don't pickup, don't go there. It might most probably be closed.

Car driven: Hyundai Creta.

​

Extra ride: We also drove to Chikkamagaluru from there also. If we had driven in a car like Ritz, it would be very tiring, and it might not be possible to drive to Chikkamagaluru the same day and reach back Bengaluru.
