Most scenic Roads

If WRC (World Rally Championship) wants a great tropical Rally, they shouldnt look no further than Coorg and Chickmagaloor! Let alone WRC, our K1000 (Karnataka Rally) have stopped looking at these possibilities.
Surprising/Shocking that, they want to CREATE a Rally route near Chickballapur (read barren unlimited) and other places on the outskirts of Bangalore, largely to attract crowd and get sponsorships and may be to reduce the logistic complexities. But the charm isnt there any more.
K-1000 rally was known for 1000 Kms of Rallying on the Hills, across the coastal belt and back. And i believe that used to be exciting.

This makes me think of the most scenic road trips that can be done in Karnataka and surrounding areas.

1. Gundlupet -- Bandipur - Masingudi - Ooty (take the 36 hairpin bend route)
2. Gundlupet -- Sultan Bathery -- Kalpetta -- Calicut
3. All time fav, but in shatters now -- Hassan - Gundia (Shiradi Ghat)
4. Gundia - Dharmastala
5. Kottigehara - Charmadi - Ujjire (Charmadi ghat)
6. Kottigehara - Kalasa - Horanadu
7. Kudremukh - Karakala
8. Nanjingud - Mananthwadi - Kalpetta (wayanad) --> mind u, no road.. almost :), but the most dense wildlife spot u can think of.
9. Chickmagaloor - Mutthodi - Kemmannugundi (very isolated, but very beautiful reserve forests)
10. Agumbe Ghat (Agumbe to someshwara)
