First meal later
The Force Urbania reaches your gate at 5 am. Because the van is taller than a basement entrance, the bags are loaded on the road outside. For a wedding group of eleven or so, the reclining seats make a long day easier. The route turns off at Hoskote for Chintamani and Madanapalle, then crosses Rayalaseema to Kadapa and Kanigiri before the coast. Keep the wedding clothes in one bag each and a shawl at the seat for the early AC.

Quiet start
Through Hoskote, 30 km out, while it is still dark. Hoskote has grown into a satellite city of Bangalore, so the drive up to it is built up all the way. Here the Urbania leaves the Kolar highway for the road north east. The famous mutton dum biryani of Hoskote is breakfast for many Bangalore drivers, but this group eats later at Madanapalle. The cabin is quiet, so people can sleep for the next hour.

Drive on
Chintamani, 75 km out, is a busy market town of Chikkaballapur district, and most Urbania groups drive through. Its silk and tomato trade keeps the main street full of lorries in the morning. If someone needs a restroom, the driver stops at a fuel station. Chakli and nippat from here are good snacks to keep in the van. The Andhra border comes soon after the town. Elders can stay seated; the halt is short.

First meal
Madanapalle is the breakfast halt, 130 km and about two and a half hours in. Hotels serve pesarattu and upma, and the Urbania parks right outside, handy for elders. The town is the headquarters of Annamayya district, set among rocky hills. Breakfast here keeps the long day ahead easy. Rayachoti, Kadapa and the rest of the Rayalaseema stretch follow. Elders should take their morning tablets with breakfast, and keep the next dose in the seat bag for lunch at Kanigiri.

Through
The Urbania drives through Rayachoti, 205 km out. The town is counted among the oldest in Andhra Pradesh, and its Veerabhadra Swamy temple on the Mandavya river is about a thousand years old. NH40 and NH340 cross here. Outside the window the land is dry and rocky, so the curtains stay drawn and the AC on. Kadapa is about 50 km ahead, under an hour. Elders can rest; the next town is the halfway mark.

Tea and a stretch
Kadapa, 255 km out, is the tea halt, and the city where groups with elders often spend the night to split the drive. Hotels serve the local karam dosa, and the washrooms here are good. The Ameen Peer Dargah is a short drive away. Gandikota is a separate trip from here and does not fit a one day drive. Kadapa sits south of the Penna river; from here the road north is narrower.

Through Badvel
The Urbania passes Badvel, 345 km out, a revenue division headquarters of Kadapa district on the road to Kanigiri. This part of the route is a quieter two lane road with few big towns, so elders can rest while the driver keeps a calm, even speed. If anyone needs a break, a fuel station here has a restroom. Lunch is at Kanigiri, about an hour and a half on. The driver may top up fuel here too.

Lunch halt
Kanigiri, 425 km out, is the sit down lunch. Small hotels here serve Andhra meals from noon, with gongura pickle, the sour leaf relish of Andhra; for elders, ask for plain dal and curd. Plan about 45 minutes. The town is low and hot, at about 95 m, with Kanigiri hill, about 380 m, on its north edge. The driver takes a short rest while the group eats. Elders can lie back after the meal.

Snack break
A snack break at Addanki, 510 km out, for tea and mirchi bajji. A short coffee and off again; about an hour and a half more to Guntur. Addanki lies on the coastal plain of Prakasam district at only about 24 m, so the air is heavier and more humid here. An early Telugu verse inscription takes its name from the town. The fields beyond grow cotton and chillies. Wake elders a little before Guntur.

Hotel or home drop
About eleven and a half hours in the Urbania to Guntur. The van drops you at the hotel gate or the house. Guntur is a chilli trading city, and Guntur chillies from the market yard are known across India. Spicy Andhra meals and mirchi bajji are the local food; for elders, ask for less spice. Vijayawada is only about 35 km on, if the wedding days include a visit there.
Elders travelling to Guntur, 8 to 16 people in all? The Bangalore to Guntur Force Urbania keeps the long day comfortable, with AC and room to stretch. Book Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

About 585 km from Bangalore by Hoskote, Chintamani, Madanapalle, Kadapa, Badvel, Kanigiri and Addanki, so about 1,170 km for the round trip. The Force Urbania takes about 11.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts, or two days with a night at Kadapa.
₹48,000 for the 12 seater Urbania (4 days, 1,200 km at ₹40/km). On top: ₹2,800 allowance, then tolls, the Andhra Pradesh permit, parking and GST at cost.
Yes, on request. The rate is ₹2 a km higher and the return run is part of the quote.
The 12 seater gives everyone a seat and room for bags. All sizes are on Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.
No, Guntur is one long day. Elders who want a break can stop the night at Kadapa.
Yes. The van and driver stay with you; days and km are counted in the bill.
November to February. March to June is very hot on the inland stretch from Madanapalle to Kanigiri, so travel early and rest at noon. The coastal side around Guntur gets its rain from June to November. With elders, a night at Kadapa makes the trip much easier in any season.
Behind the last row there is space for one medium bag per person. Wedding clothes ride best flat on top of the bags, and gifts on the floor in front of the last row. For 13 or more people with big suitcases, take the larger Urbania. Nothing goes on the roof.
