To the best of what I know NICE road is not available for bikes... the best road is by the ring road...

Silk board- marenalli road-BSK-ringroad-nayandahalli-mysore road

I have never been to mysore on the bike...but for sure know that NICE don't allow cyclists..the last me and my friend tried from bannerghatta road to magadi road !
But would like to know the best scenic route to mysore :)

You can try one more route as mentioned below to Mysore which is via Kanakapura.  This route is around 20kms longer, but not much of traffic:

 

Kanakapura Road --> Kanakapura --> Saathanooru --> Malavalli --> Bannooru --> Mysore.

 

I felt this route is quite scenic compared to the usual Mysore road.  But there are not many restaurants on this road except for few small hotels.

hey i thought this route comes to around 175 kms in total... right?

[Chidambaran Subramanian]

It is not longer. Roughly the same distance. I have gone Mysore both ways

Dear Chidu,

Is this road road bikable?

[Harish G]

Ofcourse....its a decent road....its actually a part of National Highway connecting to Dindigul in Tamil Nadu.  My last travel on this route to Mysore was during 2006 Feb and the road was almost good till Mysore except for few bad patches in between.

I would recommend this route considering the safety and a calmer ride!

 

not many eateries / shops enroute ... u might have to plan your hydration suffeciently.

I agree....this route is for a calm ride.

The usual Mysore route (via Mandya) has heavy traffic and its almost like riding in ring roads of bangalore.

But in the route via Kanakapura....only till Kanakapura(around 50kms) you may see some traffic(but not like Mysore road), but after that very less vehicles on the road.

 

If you have more stamina and time, you can take a detour to visit Bheemeshwari on this stretch, which is a very scenic place.
