National Highway 13 ('NH 13), now renamed as NH 169[1] is a National Highway in India that runs from Solapur in Maharashtra to Mangalore in Karnataka. The total length of NH 13 is 691 km (429 mi). The original NH 13 ran from Solapur to Chitradurga at the intersection of NH 4. It has recently been extended to Mangalore. [2]

NH 13 passes through towns of Bijapur, Basavana Bagewadi, Hosapete and Shivamogga. It passes through all geographical regions of Karnataka state namely Bayaluseemae, Malenadu and Karavali.

Though road is marked as a national highway, it is narrow along many stretches causing frequent mishaps.In particular, the stretch between Chitradurga and Hospet is extremely bad and with heavy truck traffic. Driving this stretch in a car, particularly in the nights, is not advisable due to the bad condition of the road.
