Pickup for the family
Two homes in the same area can be covered before the van leaves at 7 am. Wedding parties are slow to board with gift boxes and garment bags, so be at the gate ten minutes early. That gate is where we load, because the tempo traveller is roughly 2.55 m high and will not fit under an apartment ceiling. Lay saree bags flat on the rear seat. Before the expressway, the Nayandahalli junction is where traffic usually bunches up.

Breakfast for the group
Bidadi, about 30 km from Bangalore, is famous for thatte idli. It was the usual breakfast stop on the old Mysore road, and the hotels still serve groups fast. The van takes the exit, since the expressway bypasses the town, and twelve people eat in about twenty five minutes. Innovative Film City and the Meher Baba centre are also listed among Bidadi's sights, for another day. If the children are hungry earlier, carry biscuits; the first hour out of the city can be slow.

Silk and hills
Around the 50 km mark the van passes Ramanagara on the expressway. Silk farmers from miles around bring cocoons to its market, one of the largest in Asia. A few km outside town, Ramadevara Betta carries a Rama temple on top, and its cliffs are India's only sanctuary for vultures. The children will spot the bare boulders of the Sholay film from the window. About 50 km remain to Mandya, so nobody needs a halt.

Toy shopping
Wooden lacquer toys are made and sold in Channapatna, and the shops are on the old road, about 60 km out. Fifteen minutes is enough to buy return gifts for the children at the wedding. Toys are turned on lathes and coloured with vegetable dyes. Besides toys, there are bangles and lacquered kitchen items. The van takes the exit and rejoins the expressway after. Children like watching the colours go on, if a workshop is open.

Snack stop
On the way back, hot Maddur vada and coffee before the last stretch home. The van parks off the service road near the old road stalls. Fifteen minutes keeps everyone happy till Bangalore. Maddur sits on the Shimsha river at about 662 m. Kokkarebellur, the bird village, is near here; on the way in, Mandya is only about 20 km ahead, so the van keeps going. The vada is best eaten hot, straight from the pan.

Wedding hall drop
About two hours of driving. The van drops the family at the hall gate and parks nearby. Mandya city sits at about 678 m and is the headquarters of its district. The town is known for sugarcane and jaggery, and fresh cane juice is sold by the road. October is the wettest month here, so keep an umbrella in the van for the walk from the gate. The driver stays near the hall till you are ready.

Mandya is about 100 km from Bangalore on the expressway, by Bidadi, Ramanagara, Channapatna and Maddur. The round trip comes to about 200 km. A tempo traveller takes about two hours each way, with thatte idli at Bidadi on the way.

Mandya gets more rain in October than in any other month, and Bangalore's evening storms in that season make the drive back across the city slow. The expressway itself drains well. In rain months, plan to leave the hall a little earlier and keep umbrellas in the van for the walk from the gate.
Yes. Bags and gift boxes go behind the last row, and garment bags can lie on an empty seat. Twelve people with large suitcases may need the next size up, so mention the luggage when booking. Jewellery and cash are safer in a hand bag on your lap than in the rear luggage.
