Karnataka Goa Road Trip Route

Day 1- Bangalore-Channarayapatna-Hassan-Belur-Halebid

The beautiful highway has the road and rail running parallel for certain stretches, but you always have trees and grasslands for company till Hassan. The Hassan-Sakleshpura strech is sometimes under repair post the monsoon, so the speed slows down here. Keep that in mind.
