Bangalore to Mangalore 500Km SOLO | Ep-01 Bangalore-CharmadiGhat-Mangalore | Western Ghat ride 2026

#bangaloretomangalore #charmadighat #journey4lifetime This is the ride I'd been planning for months. Starting from Bangalore before sunrise, I took on the 500 km route to Mangalore through Charmadi Ghat — one of the most beautiful and least talked-about mountain passes in Karnataka. Rain, fog, tight hairpin turns, wet roads and long empty stretches of the Western Ghats all in a single day, completely solo.In this episode you'll ride with me through the Charmadi Ghat section, past waterfalls and viewpoints covered in monsoon mist, through the small towns of coastal Karnataka, and finally into Mangalore. I also share the real parts — the fatigue, the weather, the moments I had to slow down and think about whether to push on.If you're planning your own Bangalore to Mangalore bike ride, this video shows you what the route, roads and conditions actually feel like before you go.Ride safe, ride far. 0:00 Intro 1:19 Starting the ride 5:47 Hitting the Highway 8:40 Highway Drone Shots 15:15 Shakleshpura Arial Shots 19:57 Drone Shots Charmadi Ghats 30:04 Mangalore Shots If you enjoyed the video, please subscribe to my channel, it really helps and motivate me to do and make more riding videos.
