Door pickup
The cab comes to your home at 5:00 am, and the early start puts you in Gulbarga by early evening. The road north is Bellary Road, NH44, which turns into the airport expressway past Yelahanka. Just before the airport stands the Sadahalli toll plaza, the busiest in Karnataka, on a tolled stretch of about 22 km. Load the bags the night before and carry water and an ID card. Gulbarga is about 600 km away; breakfast is at Chikkaballapur.

Breakfast
Chikkaballapur, about 60 km out, gives the car a 20 minute breakfast of idli, vada and coffee. If anyone loves old temples, the Bhoga Nandeeshwara twin temple at Nandi village, built in the 9th and 10th centuries, is close to the town and worth an hour on the drive home. Bangalore Blue grapes, which carry a GI tag, grow in the Nandi valley around here. The highway runs on towards the Andhra border.

Drive past
The car rolls past Penukonda, some 145 km from home, where old fort walls follow the ridge right beside NH44. Jain pilgrims know the town for the Pache Parsvanath temple, whose image of Parsvanath was carved out of one block of green stone. It is an easy detour on a slower drive home, and Puttaparthi lies only about 36 km from here. No halt is planned today, since Anantapur is roughly 65 km ahead.

Snack and fuel
A short snack and fuel halt at Anantapur, about 210 km out. Rayalaseema food is known for its heat, and ragi sangati with country chicken curry is the classic meal if anyone is hungry early. Dharmavaram, south west of the city, weaves GI tagged silk sarees, a shopping stop for the return. The city's landmarks, the Clock Tower and Sapthagiri Circle, are close to the highway. Gooty is about 55 km on.

Leave NH44
At Gooty, about 265 km out, the car leaves NH44 and turns west, since the routes to Guntakal, Adoni and Raichur branch off here. The rocky fort above the town rises to about 680 m and is a protected monument. A family with a spare half day on the return could visit the Belum caves, about 70 km from Gooty. The road from here is narrower, and Guntakal is about 30 km on.

Drive through
Guntakal, around 295 km out, is one of the big railway towns of the south, both a junction and a divisional headquarters of South Central Railway. Near town, about 5 km off, stands the Nettikanti Anjaneya Swamy temple, which gets packed on Saturdays, Tuesdays and through the month of Shravan, so skip any detour on those days. The car drives through without stopping. Adoni, the lunch town, comes roughly 60 km later.

Lunch
Lunch is at Adoni, around 355 km from home. Andhra rice meals with spicy curries and pickles are the norm, and the car parks at the hotel door. Adoni is one of the larger cotton market towns of the region, and its fort on the hills was held by Vijayanagara, then Bijapur, Aurangzeb and Tipu Sultan. The Ramajala lake sits below rocky hills just outside town. Mantralayam is about 55 km on.

Darshan stop
Mantralayam, about 410 km out, is a short detour off the Raichur road, on the bank of the Tungabhadra. The Brindavana of Raghavendra Swami draws lakhs of devotees a year. Men take off shirt and banian before entering, and women wear traditional Indian dress. On a normal day darshan takes about 30 minutes, but Thursdays can mean 1 to 2 hours, so plan around them. Raichur, back in Karnataka, is about 40 km on.

Tea halt
Raichur, roughly 450 km from home, is the afternoon tea halt. The land around it, the Raichur Doab, lies between two great rivers, the Krishna and the Tungabhadra, and the city's junction is a key stop on the Mumbai to Chennai railway. In 1520 Vijayanagara and Bijapur fought a famous battle here. Fuel and good hotels are easy to find. From Raichur the Gulbarga road continues by Yadgir, about 70 km away.

Short break
Yadgir, about 520 km out, is a quick break if anyone needs one. The town sits below a hill fort with three old temples, mosques, tanks and wells on top, and the name itself comes from giri, the Kannada word for hill. The Bhima river flows nearby. Jolada rotti and spicy chutney powder are the local food at the tea stalls. Otherwise the car goes straight on; Gulbarga is about 80 km away.

Home or hotel
A cab takes about 11 hours with meal stops. Gulbarga, also called Kalaburagi, is about 600 to 610 km from Bengaluru, and the driver drops you at your home or hotel in the city. Jowar roti, jolada rotti, is the staple here, and tur dal is the thing to buy. Kannada and Urdu are both widely spoken; dress modestly at religious places. Hyderabad airport is about 140 km away if anyone flies back.

Innova Crysta. All cars are on cab rental in Bangalore.
Usually NH 44 to Gooty, then Adoni, Raichur and Yadgir.
Yes, it is a short detour near Raichur. Tell us when you book.
November to February. Summers in Gulbarga are extremely hot, and the drive crosses Anantapur and Raichur, both hot and dry. In the cool months the car halts are pleasant and evenings in Gulbarga are comfortable. If you must travel from March to June, start before dawn and keep sightseeing for the early morning.
Eleven hours is long for elders. We halt about every two hours, and the car stops at the door each time, but for anyone frail it is better to break the drive at Raichur, about 450 km out, and finish the last 150 km the next morning. Keep their medicines and water in the cabin.
