Inputs on Accommodation and Food : This
is good place for a day ride from Bangalore. Please do not plan for overnight
stay bcos its in the Devarayana Forest and does not have any accomodation.
Also you don't have any hotel there to have food except for snacks shops
where you get biscuits and cool drinks. So please get you food packed before visiting
Devarayanadurga.
Inputs on Road : Roads are really good
and do not worry.
