Pickup from home
Families going to Belgaum should plan the return as carefully as the start. On the last day of a long weekend, police have reported jams of about 4.2 km on Tumkur Road from Nelamangala into the city, so we aim to be back before Sunday evening or late at night. For the outward run the van comes to your gate at 5:00 am, and kids can sleep on the first stretch with a pillow and a light sheet. Tumakuru, the breakfast town, comes after about 70 km.

Family breakfast
Breakfast at Tumakuru gives the children a chance to wake up properly. Thatte idli, wide and flat and steamed on a plate, is easy for small eaters, with butter and chutney. Keep 30 minutes. In season, the Kaggaladu bird sanctuary, about 10 km from Sira on this same highway, has painted storks nesting from February to August; children love it, but it suits a separate day. Tumakuru (Tumkur) is the land of coconut groves, and you see them for the next hour.

Dam or drive on
Hiriyur, at 155 km, is a short leg stretch. Vani Vilas Sagar, the old dam on the Vedavati river, is about 20 km from town, so it is a lunch and play stop on another trip rather than today. In winter the nights here drop to about 18 degrees C, but by noon it is warm, so keep caps for the children. Buses from Bengaluru to Belagavi and Hubballi all pass through Hiriyur, so tea stalls stay open early. Chitradurga is about 45 km on.

Fort town
At Chitradurga, about 200 km out, the van usually drives on, because the tea halt was at Hiriyur. The Murugha Matha is listed among the town's places, and the stone fort on the hill is the big draw for families with a spare morning on the way back. Children enjoy the story of Onake Obavva at the fort, but it needs good shoes and two hours. The town stands at about 732 m. Davangere and lunch are about 65 km ahead.

Lunch
Davangere, 265 km from Bangalore, is lunch for the family. Because the city sits at the centre of Karnataka, its hotels serve dishes from every region, so fussy eaters find something, while the rest order benne dose, the butter dosa Davangere is known for. Keep 45 minutes. After the meal, Kunduvada Kere on the city edge is a lake path for a short walk. Haveri, the next halt, is about 70 km on.

Tea and washroom
Haveri, about 335 km out, is a tea and washroom stop for the van. The district is chilli country; Byadagi chilli, grown for colour rather than heat, got a GI tag in 2011. For families who like temples, the Galageshwara temple at Galaganath is about 30 km from Haveri, a visit for the return day. Refill water bottles here, since the afternoon is long. Hubli is about 75 km on through Shiggaon.

Evening snack
Hubli, about 410 km out, is the snack halt, and the children can stretch again. Girmit, a spiced puffed rice mix, and mirchi bajji are the local snacks with tea. The Indira Glass House Garden is one of Hubli's parks, and Unkal Lake on the city edge is another green space, both nice for the return day. The van then runs through Dharwad, about 20 km on. Belgaum is about 95 km from Hubli.

Park and pedha
The van passes through Dharwad, about 430 km out. Sadhankeri Park, a lake park about 5 km from the bus stand, is a lovely evening halt on the way home, and Dharwad pedha, the milk sweet sold all over the twin city, is the treat to buy. The weather here is mild from late October to early February and rainy from June to September. Kittur is about 35 km ahead.

Drive on
We pass Kittur, about 465 km out, unless the family asks to stop. The Kittur Utsav is held every October, and the town was made a taluk at the 2012 Utsav, so in October the town is busy. Rani Chennamma's fort ruins are on the outskirts, a quick look for children who know her story from school. Highway dhabas here serve jolada rotti meals. Belgaum is about 40 km ahead.

Reach and rest
The van reaches Belgaum, also called Belagavi, in about 10 hours. Belgaum winters are the coldest in Karnataka, so pack warm clothes for the children from November to February, and an umbrella from June to September, when rain is almost steady. For dinner try jolada rotti with jhunka, and next morning sheera or sabuvada. Kunda, a milk sweet, is the local treat. The van drops you at the hotel gate and is ready at the time you set.

Belgaum gets almost steady rain from June to September, and the falls near Gokak are full then, so some families like it. But the highway is slower in rain and outings get cut short. October to February is the easier season: dry, green and cool, with the coldest winters in Karnataka at Belgaum itself. March to May is hot on the drive.
Break the day into short stretches. We halt at Tumakuru, Hiriyur, Davangere, Haveri and Hubli, so no stretch runs much over two hours. Pack a small bag per child with snacks, water, a change of clothes and something to do. Seat children who get car sick near the front windows. A pillow and a light sheet help them nap after lunch.
