Pickup at your door
The driver comes to your door at 5:30 am, and a car clears the city quickly, so the Peenya stretch of Tumkur Road is behind you before office traffic builds. The road climbs onto the elevated flyover and then the six lane tolled road to Nelamangala, where the first toll plaza stands. Tolls are paid by FASTag for each crossing and added to the bill at actual. Hubli Dharwad is about 410 km up NH48, a full day in the car, so charge phones and keep water within reach. Breakfast is at Tumakuru.

Quick breakfast
Seventy km into the trip the car stops in Tumakuru for a quick breakfast. Thatte idli, flat and plate sized, is said to have been born at Kyathsandra on the outskirts, so order a plate with butter and a strong coffee. A car group is done in 25 minutes. Anyone wanting darshan can detour a few km to the Siddaganga Matha, whose temple sits on a rocky hill. Signboards switch between Tumkur and Tumakuru. Next comes a long, straight 130 km to Chitradurga.

Tea and fuel
At 200 km Chitradurga is close to halfway, a good point for tea and a fuel top up. Wind farms stand on the ridges as the car comes in below the fort hills. Chitradurga Fort, the Kallina Kote, has seven rings of walls over some 1,500 acres; it needs two hours and sturdy shoes, so most cab groups keep it for the drive home. Parking is right outside the fort near Gate 3. NH50 branches off here for Hosapete and Hampi, but your car stays on NH48 for Davangere, about 65 km on.

Benne dose lunch
Davangere is the lunch stop at about 265 km, and the dish to order is benne dose, the butter dosa this city is known for, with butter in the batter and on top and coconut chutney on the side. Once a cotton mill town, Davangere still has busy cloth markets, though a car group usually just eats and moves on. Kunduvada Kere, the lake on the city edge, suits a ten minute walk after the meal. Harihara, with its Harihareshwara temple, lies on the Tungabhadra side of the highway. Haveri is about 70 km ahead.

Drive on
Ranebennur comes about 35 km after lunch, so the car drives straight through. The town sits close to the geographical centre of Karnataka, and its blackbuck sanctuary holds blackbuck and wolves, with the Great Indian Bustard on its list too; a family that likes wildlife can give it a morning on another trip. The wholesale cloth market here is large if someone wants fabric. Byadgi, the dry chilli market town, lies on the side roads between here and Haveri. Hubli is now about 110 km ahead.

Tea halt
Afternoon tea at Haveri, roughly 330 km from home, is the last halt before Hubli. Cardamom garlands and Byadagi chillies are the town's specialities; the chilli is bought for its rich red colour rather than heat, so a pack of powder is a useful gift. Haveri's Siddheshwara temple, a Western Chalukya shrine, makes a quick look for a car group. Beyond the town the highway runs past Shiggaon and the rock garden at Gotagodi. About 80 km remain.

Hotel drop
With the halts above, the car arrives in Hubli Dharwad by mid afternoon. The two cities lie about 20 km apart and have shared one corporation since 1962, so tell us which side the hotel or function hall is on and the driver heads straight there. Hubli is the trading and railway side, while Dharwad is the calmer one, known as the cultural capital of Karnataka. For evening snacks, try girmit, spiced puffed rice, and mirchi bajji. The car is ready next morning when you need it.

A car takes about 7.5 hours with a breakfast halt at Tumakuru, lunch at Davangere and a tea stop at Haveri. Dharwad is about 20 km past Hubli, so add that if your stay is on the Dharwad side.

Late October to early February is mild and nearly dry in Hubli Dharwad, and the drive is easiest then. The twin cities get about 838 mm of rain a year, most of it from June to September, when the highway is wet and slower. Back home, October and November bring heavy evening downpours to Bangalore, so on the return day leave Hubli early and enter the city before the evening rush.
Yes, if the day is broken up. We halt roughly every two hours, at Tumakuru, Chitradurga, Davangere and Haveri, and the car stops at the hotel door, so elders walk very little. The front seat rides best for anyone with a stiff back, and a cushion helps on the long straight stretches. Keep their medicines and a light shawl in the cabin rather than in the boot, since the AC can feel cold after lunch.
