You do have the basic problem that real roads do not follow terrain only, but require cut and fill to level and even them out, more or less. That's where "InstantRoad" will help. There ARE some other approaches. I remember some posts, that you could search for. If this is for learning or testing methods, you might try some runs on a much simpler model first, to save some headaches. I wonder what you expect (whichever) Artisan function you used to do for you.

I have already worked on simple contours and know but this one am stuck

and if you look at this video at 5:00 min you can see he use artisian make planar tool and it worked like a charm.

You mean around 5m 50 mark, that does work when your initial terrain is subdivided enough your terrain needs more subdivision before trying that.
