One pickup point
One pickup point by 5:30 am, two at most, because each extra pickup costs a group of twenty real time. If the group is in east Bangalore, the Satellite Town Ring Road from Hoskote towards Devanahalli joins NH44 near the airport without crossing the city; its Nallur toll near Devanahalli is boothless, with cameras reading the number plate. The road then runs north past Devanahalli. Raichur is about 440 km away. Breakfast is at Chikkaballapur.

Group breakfast
Breakfast for everyone is at Chikkaballapur, about 60 km out. The driver knows hotels that seat a group of twenty, and idli, vada and coffee come quickly. Keep 35 minutes with a head count. For a trekking group on another day, the Skandagiri trek starts close to the town, and Gudibande fort, a smaller copy of Madhugiri with seven levels, is in the same district. Kempegowda airport is about 38 km behind.

Drive through
Penukonda comes and goes with no halt, about 145 km out; the group stays seated through town. Right by the road stand the old fort walls on the hill. Penukonda was an important Vijayanagara stronghold, and its historic Ajitnath temple is part of a long Jain story. The Kia car plant is just outside the town. Anantapur is about 75 km on. Students sometimes ask about the giant Kumbhakarna sculpture here, which suits a slower return day.

Quick bite
Anantapur, about 220 km out, is a quick bite for the group. Hotels here serve ragi sangati and uggani with mirchi bajji, both very hot, as Rayalaseema food usually is. Keep the stop short with a big group. The road goes right past the ISKCON temple and the Anantapur Sports Village on the highway. Groundnut, sunflower and cotton fields cover the district. Gooty is about 50 km on. Remind everyone to refill water bottles here, as the next halt is Gooty.

Tea and washrooms
Tea and washrooms at Gooty, about 270 km out, with a head count before the mini bus moves. Gooty fort, a protected monument on hills up to about 680 m, shows clearly from the road. Here the mini bus leaves NH44 and turns west on the highway towards Bellary and Ankola, then on to Adoni. Belum caves are about 70 km from Gooty, for another trip. Adoni is about 90 km on.

Lunch
Adoni, about 360 km out, is the lunch stop. Andhra meals are what the hotels serve; ask for less spice for anyone who needs it. Keep 50 minutes, including the washroom queue. A 2 km detour takes you to the Ramajala lake. The road narrows after Adoni, so the driver keeps a steady pace on the last 80 km. Adoni is a big cotton market, and its hill fort dates back to Vijayanagara times.

Darshan halt
At Mantralayam, about 400 km out, the group gets down for darshan. The mini bus waits at the parking. Men must remove shirt and banian before entering, and women wear traditional dress, so carry a shawl or dhoti in the hand bag. The mutt serves prasadam meals at noon and in the evening. Thursdays are the busiest, with waits of 1 to 2 hours. Raichur is about 40 km on. After darshan, count heads at the parking before the mini bus moves.

Drop at the stay
With these halts the mini bus reaches Raichur in about 10 hours and drops the group at the stay. Raichur Junction is an important station on the Mumbai to Chennai line, handy for members leaving by train. Jolada rotti meals and Raichur rice are the local food. The city lies in the Raichur Doab, between the Krishna and the Tungabhadra, and summers are very hot. The mini bus parks nearby. Send the hotel or hall address in advance so the driver goes straight there.
Taking 20 or 25 people to Raichur for a marriage or a village function? A Bangalore to Raichur mini bus costs less per head than two vans, and the group arrives together. Book a mini bus on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

Raichur is about 440 km from Bangalore, by NH44 through Chikkaballapur, Penukonda, Anantapur and Gooty, then by Adoni and Mantralayam, making about 880 km for the round trip. A mini bus takes about 10 hours with breakfast, lunch at Adoni and a darshan halt.

Yes, with the Andhra Pradesh permit, which we arrange. The permit cost is added at actual.
Adoni, about 360 km out. With twenty people, the driver calls ahead so food is ready.
October or November to March. Raichur is very hot from April, and the long stretch through Anantapur district, the driest in Andhra Pradesh, is harsh by noon. In the cool months the halts are pleasant and the Mantralayam queue is easier to bear. In summer, start at dawn and keep water bottles full.
One bag each plus a small hand bag. For Mantralayam, men need a dhoti or a shawl, since shirts come off before entering, and women should carry traditional dress. Keep caps, water and sunscreen in the hand bag. Big bags stay in the luggage space at the back of the mini bus.
