I dont have much to write regarding this trip. As I was busy sleeping  :p 

Trip decision was all of sudden and I booked my ticket on Thursday noon. Most of the sleepers were full and few had last rows.. din wanna experiment last rows.. finally checked ksrtc and this corona had upper middle row berths available.. also it said an early arrival at kundapura which was very much needed to me.. finally booked my ticket on it

We left home at 6.30 and took a bus to majstic.. saved the ticket fare to majestic with the ksrtc print out. Conductor was cross checking my ticket and his watch to check if its within two hours and he finally said a ok. Reached majestic at 7.15.still an hour to go. We just wandered around , had light snacks and returned back to platform no 1 where the bus was parked . the bus was parked an hour before itself as we went to hunt the platform location as soon as we reached majestic. We reached back at 8.00pm . handed over the ticket to conductor. He asked for my id proof and I showed it . after conformation he said us to board in . we went in placed the luggage.. ac was not on yet,, It was hot inside, so we came out and stood.

Kollur bound rajahamsa ( via mangalore) , a kundapura airawat and panaji bound ACC were the neighbours parked. Engine started and ac was put on . we boarded the bus after that.

Finally the bus departed at 8.15 and crawled all way till the exit near railway station. Took mantra mall , malleswaram route to yeswantpur,,, reached there at 8.50.. the bus was at normal speed all through the journey,, finally stopped for dinner at 10.05pm at yadiyur , ahead of kunigal . break lasted for just 12 minutes . two sariges were already parked. At 10.10 kollur bound rajahamsa too arrived . we left after break at 10.17. crossed Adichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Science at 10.35. reached channarayapattana at 11.20.. 

Finally I dozed off.. later wen  iwoke , the bus reached omega hospital ( pumpwell circle) at 3.50am. then it entered the ksrtc stand. Stopped for 2 minutes. The bus exit out the station  at 4.10 am..  again I dozed off.. finally we were dropped at shastri circle , kundapura at 6.05 am.. already a rajahamsa was parked there at shastri circle and few passengers got down. And a few boarded in too. The conductor was shouting kollur kollur and we finally boarded it expecting would get seats , also no private buses was seen around. Boarding the bus it was a shock. Just 4 vacant seats and and rest all are bound to kollur.. finally settled in the available space. And we were finally dropped at kollur at 7 am.

A total of approx. 10 hours from Bangalore to kundapura .
