Pickup from home
The Urbania comes to your gate at 5:00 am. In 2025 a 10 km drive in Bangalore took about 41 minutes in the morning peak and 45 in the evening, so leaving before dawn saves the best part of an hour. The Urbania is long but turns fine in most apartment roads; it loads at the gate, not the basement. Keep medicines for elders in a small bag at the seat. Mumbai is about 985 km away, and the first halt is Tumakuru.

Breakfast
The Urbania stops at Tumakuru for breakfast, close to the hotel door so elders walk little. Thatte idli, soft and light, is a good start to a very long day, and ten or twelve people need about 25 minutes. For a heritage group on another trip, Araluguppe, with a 12th century Hoysala Chennakeshava temple, is about 25 km from the city. Tumakuru (Tumkur) is the district headquarters. Chitradurga is about 130 km on.

Tea
Tea comes at Chitradurga, 200 km from home. Wind turbines stand along the hills around the town, and the fort's highest point reaches about 976 m. Inside the walls are Akka Thangi Honda, twin tanks cut from the rock, but the climb is steep and rocky, so elders usually stay below with their tea. The fort normally opens around 6 am and shuts around 6 pm for anyone visiting on the return. Davangere lies roughly 65 km further.

Snack stop
Davangere, about 265 km out, is an optional snack stop. Benne dose is the city's dish, and its hotels also serve dishes from across Karnataka, since the city sits at the centre of the state. Shanthi Sagara, the 12th century Sulekere tank, one of the largest in Asia, lies near Channagiri, far off our road. A short stop of 15 minutes suits elders who want to stretch. Haveri is about 70 km on.

Drive through
The Urbania passes Haveri, about 335 km out, without a halt. A detour of around 25 km would lead to Bada, birthplace of the poet saint Kanakadasa, and the town's Hukkeri Math is well known in the region. Cooks in the group may want Byadagi chilli, sold here as the stubby dabbi and the slim kaddi. Haveri stands at about 572 m, a little higher than the plains ahead. Hubballi and lunch are around 70 km on.

Midday meal
Lunch is a sit down meal at Hubballi, about 405 km out. Jolada rotti with curries is the regional plate, but plain rice meals are easy to find for elders who prefer them. Allow about 45 minutes. Devotees in the group may know the Siddharoodha Math and the Moorusavira Matha, the two big maths of the city, for a slower return day. Dharwad pedha is sold everywhere here. Belagavi lies roughly 95 km ahead.

Tea break
Tea at Belagavi, roughly 500 km out, with kunda, the city's milk sweet, for anyone who wants it. The old fort here dates from 1204 and was largely rebuilt under the Adil Shahis in 1519; Kamal Basadi and the Safa Mosque stand inside, a calm visit for elders on the drive home. The Markandeya river flows near the city, and winters are the coldest in Karnataka. Kolhapur, tonight's stop, is about 115 km on.

Night halt
Overnight at Kolhapur, about 615 km out, with the Urbania parked at the hotel. Kolhapuri cooking is known for heat, so elders may ask for plainer dishes; the local misal is said to be the spiciest of all. Early in the morning, the Mahalakshmi temple, called Ambabai, is about 5 km off the highway, and old Shilahara period Jain temples stand close to it. Kolhapuri chappals, hand braided leather sandals, make a good purchase.

Drive on
Satara comes on the morning of day two, roughly 745 km from Bangalore. The town sits near the confluence of the Krishna and the Venna and is named after the seven forts in the hills around it. Elders interested in temples could visit the Yavateshwar temple, built in Hemadpanti style in the Yadava period, on a slower return. Today the Urbania keeps to NH48 without a halt. Pune is roughly 100 km ahead.

Coffee and snacks
A coffee and snack halt on the Pune bypass, about 840 km out. Puneri misal, made with poha, is the city's breakfast dish, and vada pav is sold at every corner. Pune was known as Poona until 1978, and the old city holds Shaniwar Wada and the Pataleshwar caves, but the Urbania stays on the bypass. Elders can stretch for fifteen minutes here. Lonavala lies about 65 km on by the expressway.

Ghat top
At Lonavala, around 910 km from home, the road reaches the top of the ghat at about 622 m, with Khandala beside it and Mumbai roughly 96 km away. Chikki, the nut and jaggery brittle the town is known for, comes in softer kinds that elders enjoy. Both the expressway and the old highway pass through Lonavala, and then the road descends past Khopoli. In July and August heavy rain makes the driver slow right down.

Drop in town
The Urbania reaches Mumbai after about 19.5 hours of driving, spread across two days. Depending on the area, the city is about 985 to 995 km from Bangalore. We aim to enter outside the morning and evening office rush, and the driver takes the shortest road to your stay. A light dinner of pav bhaji or vada pav suits a tired group. The Urbania drops everyone at the door and parks nearby.
Taking elders or a small team of 8 to 16 to Mumbai by road? The Bangalore to Mumbai Force Urbania rides quieter than a regular van, and that counts on a drive of close to 1,000 km. It comes with a driver who knows the Pune expressway. Book Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

Mumbai is about 985 km from Bangalore on NH48, through Chitradurga, Hubballi, Belagavi, Kolhapur and Pune, then the expressway past Lonavala, so roughly 1,970 km for the round trip. The Urbania takes about 19.5 hours of driving with stops, over two days with a night at Kolhapur.
The 12 seater Urbania works out to ₹84,000: 2,100 km at ₹40/km. The driver allowance is ₹4,900; tolls, the Maharashtra permit, parking and GST are billed at actual.
Yes, on request. The rate is ₹2 a km higher and the return run is part of the quote.
The 10 seater keeps a seat free for bags; same rate as the others. All sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.
We plan to enter the city before 8 am or after 9 pm where possible. The driver takes the shortest road to your address.
Yes. The van and driver stay for your days in the city; local km come out of the spare km in the bill.
Yes, one big one at the end. After Pune the road climbs to Lonavala, at about 622 m, and then drops down the ghat past Khopoli to Navi Mumbai. The expressway makes it smooth, but in July and August the rain at Lonavala is very heavy and fog can sit on the ghat, so the Urbania keeps a slow pace there.
We do not advise it with a group. Driving 985 km in one go means one driver at the wheel through the night, and the group arrives exhausted. The two day plan, with a night at Kolhapur, keeps everyone fresh and the driver rested. If time is short, a very early start and a later night halt at Satara or Pune is safer.
