Travel time and traffiic
Important thing to note is that forest checkpost in Karnataka after Gundalupet and before Kerala border, will be closed at 9.00p.m and opens at 6.00a.m for traffic. You need to safely plan some 1 hour buffer, considering long traffic blocks in muthanga checkpost in Kerala, wayanad hair pins, bangalore/mysore city traffic etc.
Plan 1 to 1.5 hours to cross Bangalore city in peak traffic times and during rains.You could save much of time if you travel early morning from Bangalore.When you return to Bangalore, again be prepared for slow moving traffic from Bidadi/Kengeri to MGRoad, incase you need to touch the city.
Road Condition and Safe Driving tips
Bangalore to Mysore road is beautifully done, but be warned of the sudden and umpteen 'bumps and illegal cross roads' made by local villagers, where you could see a bullock cart suddenly infront of your vehicle from nowhere! Also, with good roads when you take speed, almost be certain that there will be a bump waiting for you! So, this is one good road where ABS , DISC brakes etc comes to your rescue! In general. this is one road you could also achieve maximum mileage, if you travel in top gear less than 80kms.
Road from Mysore till Nanjangud is very crowded and mostly patched.Then there are some stretches through the forest and border, especially Muthanga checkpost where road is patchy.

recently, I been to mysore and I heard that the route from mysore towards coorg.. to some extent isn't good and you cannot exceed speed of 20 kms. while the rest of the way was good enough.
though we did have a hectic journey, but the ambience in wayanad just made us forget all that tiresome we had on our journey.
nice that, a friend of our's arranged accommodation with thishomestay in wayanad which was simply superb.
you recollected me the mouth watering dishes stop, taco bell. I tried at the same mall.
on your way to mysore from bangalore, you may also try adiga''s which is near mandya. an equally good restaurant.
Valuable for information, if there are any other blogs related to this then kindly update us.
