Pickup at home
For a family function in Mandya we usually collect elders at half past six, before the morning heat and the city traffic. Bring the Urbania's luggage to the gate: its roof is far too high for an apartment ramp. Medicines, spectacles and a water bottle should travel in a hand bag at the seat, while suitcases go in the rear. On the expressway itself there are no scooters or autos since 2023, so the ride stays even.

Through town
We do not stop at Bidadi, about 30 km out; breakfast is planned at Ramanagara. The thatte idli places of Bidadi line the old road, which the expressway bypasses. Elders can doze after Bidadi, as the seats recline. If the group has children, Wonderla amusement park is just off the road here for another day. The Big Banyan Tree, about 400 years old and covering 3 acres, is also off Mysore Road nearby.

Easy breakfast
Breakfast is taken slowly at Ramanagara, roughly 50 km from home, where the Urbania pulls up beside the hotel entrance. We allow thirty five minutes so nobody hurries. Grey granite domes surround the town; geologists still call the rock Closepet granite, after Ramanagara's former name. Janapada Loka, a folk museum in the open air full of masks, puppets and old farm tools, lies near the highway about 53 km out, a pleasant hour for elders on the way back.

Urbania drives on
Channapatna, about 60 km out, is passed without a halt on the way in. If the family wants toys or lacquered bangles for the wedding, the driver will take the exit on the drive home, when nobody is watching the clock. Elders who prefer a temple can visit Doddamallur instead, 2 to 3 km beyond the town, where the Aprameya Swamy shrine has the much loved crawling Krishna. From Channapatna to Mandya is about 36 km, roughly forty minutes.

Tea and a stretch
A tea halt at Maddur, around 80 km from Bangalore, lets everyone stretch before the final 20 km. We keep it to twenty minutes. Two old temples stand about a km off the road for elders who want darshan: one has a Hoysala period Ugra Narasimha in black stone, some 7 ft tall, and the Varadaraja idol nearby is carved on its back as well as its face. The driver waits by the old road while you go.

Arrival and rest
The Urbania reaches Mandya in about two hours with the halts. We drop at the stay or the hall first, so elders can rest. Mandya is a district headquarters with daily trains to Mysore and Bangalore, and the railway station is in the city centre, useful if a relative is coming by train. The Mysore Sugar Company factory here dates from 1933. Fresh cane juice is sold at stalls and some hotels.
Elders going to a wedding or a naming ceremony in Mandya, 8 to 16 people? A Bangalore to Mandya Force Urbania is quieter than a regular van on the 100 km. Book Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

The expressway main road has a speed limit of 100 km an hour, and our drivers keep to it. With elders on board the Urbania drives steadily, with breakfast at Ramanagara and tea at Maddur. The main slow parts are the city end at Kengeri and the exits to the old road for food.
Start at 6:30 am so nobody rushes, with breakfast at Ramanagara and tea at Maddur. The Urbania drops elders at the gate of the venue and waits nearby, so they can rest in the van with the AC on between events. Keep their medicines in a hand bag and plan the return before dark.
