Arrow straight roads, beautiful twisties, serene lakes and a delicious breakfast at the end makes the Gudibande circuit, a delight to ride on a motorcycle. 💯❤️

The Gudibande circuit, a 183kms ride loop – takes one through the dual-carriage straight NH-44 till Ramaganahalli, onto the single-lane Gudibanda-Gauribidanur road leading to the majestic Bhairasagara lake with a fantastic view point, Followed by a short span of wide twists leading to the massive serene Vatadahosahalli lake aka Sabbanahalli Lake Viewpoint (ideal to sit, chat and take pictures).

The next section is brilliant piece of single-lane tarmac village roads via the Manchenahalli, Thondebhavi and to Ayyappa Tiffin Room in Doddaballapur town for a sumptuous breakfast combo and filter coffee.😋 Post this one can head back to Bengaluru via Rajanukunte, Yelahanka.
