jaijee,
Hmm... Tempo traveler is a kind of of vehicle which can accommodate
around 12 people. Contact your nearest travel agent for more details.
Google can also help.
jaijee,
You can either carry ration from B'lore or purchase it in MM hills. If
you inform the forest office well in advance, they might even ask the
villagers at Naagamale to get ration. Check out with them.
maddss,
September to January is best generally for any Western Ghats trek. And
certainly you don't want to be in the forests during monsoon. It can be
anything between uncomfortable and disastrous if u hike during peak
monsoon season in the Ghats. So best time is to be there just after
monsoon when all the streams are full.

Pankha,
Thanks for your comments and information about avalakki falls. I have
heard that there are many beautiful waterfalls in the Uttara Kannada
district of Karnataka. Unchalli, Magod, Sathodi, Shivagange(Ganesh),
Waate halla, Benne hole - to name a few. Some of those falls are not
very popular and not easily accessible, and it can be quite a challenge
reaching them during monsoon.

Ashwath,
Thanks for your comments. I meant forest dept jeep driver only, but anyway corrected it now.

Ravi,
Thanks for poining out the easier way :) It is quite possible that I
took a circuitous route. Infact our source of information there was
generally the taxi and bus drivers. So looks like we were misled :(

Beach trek: Gokarna to Honnavar
I haven't been to sea side during monsoon, but I would assume it wouldn't be that comfortable. Just visiting the beach is one thing and staying there for a night is another. So I woudn't do a beach trek and a night halt during monsoon :)
Bharata.
