Some 50 odd bridges and tunnels on the Southern Railway (India Road Atlas, Eicher Goodearth 2006: 110 C4) or Hassan [note 1] - Mangalore [note 2] railway line (LAKSHMI, R 2002) were encountered when railway trekking from Doniga / Donigal (note 2) via Yedakumeri (note 3) and Shiribagilu (note 4) to Kukke Subramanya (note 5), where watching trains thundering past you especially in a railway tunnel is truly an -off the beaten track- experience (LAKSHMI, R 2002). SITUATION: The railway line connecting Hassan with Mangalore climbs in the headwaters of both the Netravati and Kaveri (Cauvery) north of the Hare Betta range across the Western Ghats (Sahyadri, Sahayadri range).Some 50 odd bridges and tunnels on the Southern Railway (India Road Atlas, Eicher Goodearth 2006: 110 C4) or Hassan [note 1] - Mangalore [note 2] railway line (LAKSHMI, R 2002) were encountered when railway trekking from Doniga / Donigal (note 2) via Yedakumeri (note 3) and Shiribagilu (note 4) to Kukke Subramanya (note 5), where watching trains thundering past you especially in a railway tunnel is truly an -off the beaten track- experience (LAKSHMI, R 2002).
