Comments:
Roads upto Ghati Subramanya deviation is good, later the roads are not satisfactory, However the scenic beauty is blissful.
Ask for directions at Gauribadnur, Take a left turn at Auto-rickshaw stand after entering Gauribidanur.
Proceed further to reach toll gate, Andhra starts here, continue further
and take a left turn leading to Santebidanur, watchout for Santebidanur signpost carefully which is located near  bus stand.
Ensure valid permits exists if traveling by taxi for entry into Andhra.
Santebidanur is around 10 Km from Gauribidanur.
