ir0003 - KGF 300

About: The route takes you through some ancient and important towns in the Kolar Gold Fields region before touching Andhra Pradesh and turning back through Tamil Nadu.

Surface: Mostly state-highways and national highways, the road is in excellent condition except for SH-95 from Hoskote to Bethmangala. The stretch between Malur and Tekal presents the most potholes, though roads continue to be paved throughout. Roads in AP and TN are in excellent shape.

Traffic: NH-4, NH-46 and NH-7 are all national highways and have significant amounts of traffic, though they have large shoulders and should present no problems. SH-95 is quiet, but features heavy vehicle traffic, and is narrow. Be careful of oncoming and overtaking vehicles. All the other roads have moderate traffic.

Terrain: Here is the elevation profile generated by utrack.crempa.net for the route from data provided by gpsvisualizer.com, there is about 1750m of climbing.
