Dear CNPians,
This information is for the members who are attending the meet on Nov 18th and 19th at Simha Farms, Madodi.
To reach Madodi via bus (both State Govt run and private) one has two options.
Option #1:
KSRTC Rajahamsa Executive (Bus to Kollur via Hosanagara and Nagara)
This bus leaves Mejastic (Bangalore Bus station) at 8:30PM and one can book the seats online.
Care should be taken to choose the bus which goes via Hosanagara and Nagara.
The ticket needs to be booked for Kollur and one can ask for a request stop at Madodi.
The bus typically reaches Madodi by around 4:45AM- 5:00AM.
Option #2:
Durgamba Travels (Bus to Kollur and Kundapura via Hosanagara and Nagara)
For the people who prefer to board the bus from some pick up point other than Mejastic this bus is suitable. They pick up from various pick up points across Bangalore like Jayanagara, Vidyapeetha Circle, Navarang etc.
Care needs to be taken while booking to make sure that you are booking for a 2+2 bus. There is another 2+3 bus also which could be the worst case scenario id the 2+2 gets completely full.
One can find any private bus booking agents do the booking for Durgamba bus. Please make sure that you ask the timing of the bus at the point where you are boarding.
Again, you need to book the ticket for Kollur and ask the driver or the assistant to drop you at Madodi.
Madodi is at around 5km from Sampekatte, which is a more popular place. It is in between Sampekatte and Nittoor and both and quite known places. Some drivers might not have heard about Madodi but they would surely know about Sampekatte and Nittoor. Hence if the driver doesn't know about Madodi tell him to inform you at Sampekatte and Madodi comes just about 5kms from there .
Adithya Biloor can add more info if needed.
Hope you have a nice journey and see you there at the place.
Cheers,
Ashwini Kumar Bhat
