Pickup at home
The van collects the family at 5:30 am; two homes in the same area are no problem. In winter, roughly mid November to mid February, thick fog settles over the north of the city near the airport in the early hours and often lingers till about 8:30 am, so on such mornings the driver eases off on NH44 until it clears. Keep a bag with medicines, water and snacks in the cabin. Raichur lies about 440 km away, and Chikkaballapur, some 60 km out, is the first halt.

Family breakfast
Families breakfast at Chikkaballapur, about 60 km from home, where highway hotels serve idli, vada and coffee and the van can stop close to the door for elders. The district town gets its nickname, Panchagiri, from the five hills that ring it. Children may enjoy the giant Adiyogi statue at the Isha Yoga Centre near the town on the drive back. Allow 30 minutes, then the road heads for Penukonda and the Andhra border.

Drive through
The road passes Penukonda, about 145 km out, with no planned halt. Children may spot the fort walls on the hill. The town has a long Jain history; the Pache Parsvanath temple holds an idol carved from a single green stone, and a giant sleeping Kumbhakarna sculpture shows demons trying to wake him, which children love. Both suit a slower return. Anantapur is about 75 km on. For now, the van keeps rolling and the children can watch the rocky hills go by.

Snack halt
The van pulls in at Anantapur, around 220 km out, for a snack. Ragi sangati, a ball of ragi eaten with curry, is the local food, but Rayalaseema cooking is very hot, so ask for milder dishes for the children. The city's ISKCON temple stands beside the highway. Dharmavaram, south west of Anantapur, weaves the GI tagged silk sarees, if anyone wants to shop on the return. Gooty is about 50 km ahead.

Tea halt
The van halts at Gooty, about 270 km out, for tea and a washroom. Gooty fort stands on a cluster of rocky hills, and the story is that the Maratha general Murari Rao lost it to Hyder Ali in 1775 after the water ran out. Here the van turns west off NH44 for Adoni and Raichur. Belum caves, about 70 km from Gooty, are a separate outing for a family that likes caves. Adoni is about 90 km on.

Lunch
Lunch is at Adoni, about 360 km from home. Andhra meals come with plenty of chilli, so order curd rice for the children and let them rest for a few minutes before the next stretch. Adoni is a busy cotton trading town, and the hill fort above it was held in turn by Vijayanagara, Bijapur, Aurangzeb and Tipu Sultan. Ramajala lake, ringed by bare rocks, is a 2 km detour. Mantralayam lies roughly 40 km further on.

Darshan halt
Mantralayam, roughly 400 km from home, is the turn for darshan if the family wishes. Raghavendra Swami settled here on the Tungabhadra and passed away in 1671, and his Brindavana now draws lakhs of devotees each year. Before entering, men take off shirt and banian and women wear traditional dress. Most families first visit the Manchalamma shrine next door. Darshan hours are usually about 6 am to 2 pm and 4 pm to 9 pm. Raichur lies about 40 km on.

Drop at the hotel
The van reaches Raichur in about 9 hours. Raichur is a district headquarters with hotels, fuel and a big railway junction on the Mumbai to Chennai line. Jolada rotti meals and Raichur rice are the local dinner. The city lies between the Krishna and the Tungabhadra, in the Raichur Doab, and the Battle of Raichur was fought here in 1520. The van drops you at the hotel and parks nearby for the function days.
Is the whole family going to Raichur for a wedding or a festival, 10 to 20 people? A Bangalore to Raichur tempo traveller takes everyone in one van, with a darshan stop at Mantralayam. Get a tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

October or November to March, when Raichur is warm by day but bearable. From April to June the city is very hot, and the road through Anantapur, the driest district of Andhra Pradesh, is harsh in the afternoon. For a summer function, start at dawn, travel with the AC on and plan the Mantralayam darshan early.
Yes, with the right halts. We stop at Chikkaballapur, Anantapur, Gooty and Adoni, so no stretch runs much over two hours. Rayalaseema food is very hot, so carry some home snacks and ask for curd rice at lunch. Keep caps and water for the children, and a light sheet for the AC.
