Pickup from your gate
At roughly 2.55 m, an Urbania stands taller than the 2.4 m clearance of a typical apartment basement, so it waits at your gate or driveway instead. Have the bags down at ground level by 5:00 am. Elders ride most comfortably in the front captain seats. Saundatti lies about 470 km off, and right after pickup we head for Tumkur Road and Nelamangala. Our first meal halt comes at Tumakuru.
Breakfast
We stop for breakfast in Tumakuru after 70 km, with the Urbania pulled up at the hotel door so elders hardly walk. Thatte idli, the plate sized idli this district is proud of, is soft and kind to the stomach on a travel day. Ten or twelve people finish in about 25 minutes. Nature lovers can come back another time for Kaggaladu near Sira, where painted storks nest between February and August. Tumakuru (Tumkur) is the district headquarters; Sira comes 50 km later.
Tea
Tea is at Chitradurga, a third of the way to Saundatti. In British records the town appears as Chitaldrug, and its Nayaka rulers held the fort until Hyder Ali captured it in 1779. For elders the fort means a long scramble over rock, so most groups admire it from the road and save their strength for the darshan. Take the washroom break here before the long stretch. Wind turbines on the ridges mark the way out. Davanagere is about 65 km further.
Lunch
Lunch waits at Davanagere, near the 265 km mark. Benne dose is what the city is famous for, but being in the middle of Karnataka, its kitchens borrow from every region, so full meals are easy to find too. A quiet lunch suits elders while the driver takes a short rest. Davanagere is also a big junction on the Bengaluru to Hubballi rail line. Shanthi Sagara, the vast Sulekere tank from the 12th century, lies near Channagiri, away from our road. Keep 45 minutes.
Tea halt
A short tea stop follows at Haveri. Byadagi chilli from this district comes in two shapes, dabbi which is short and fat and kaddi which is long and slim, both picked between January and May. Devotee groups sometimes go out to Bada, some 25 km away, birthplace of the poet saint Kanakadasa, on the way back. The Hukkeri Math is the town's best known institution. After this the Urbania runs about 75 km to Hubballi, passing Shiggaon.
Coffee stop
Coffee and a snack at Hubballi break the afternoon. Out at Unkal, roughly 7 km from the station, stands the Chandramouleshwara temple, an old Chalukya shrine to Shiva that opens on every side; elders manage it easily on the return day since the Urbania parks close. The twin city takes nearly all of its yearly 838 mm of rain between June and September. Around 60 km remain to Saundatti, via Dharwad.
Road only
The Urbania passes through Dharwad, about 430 km out, and leaves NH48 for the last 41 km to Saundatti. If anyone in the group is flying home rather than riding back, Belagavi airport at Sambre is about 78 km from Dharwad. Boxes of Dharwad pedha, the buffalo milk sweet, are best bought on the return so they stay fresh. An inscription at the Durgadevi temple in the old fort area dates to 1117, which shows how old the town is.
Hotel drop
Saundatti, or Savadatti, comes up about 9.5 hours after pickup. Pilgrim health centres stand by the temple, a comfort for an elder group, along with free guest houses run by the government. Town lodges are basic, so book ahead around festival dates. Evening meals are jolada rotti with north Karnataka curries. Bangles, kumkum and puja items fill the stalls on the temple road. Share the darshan hour, and our driver brings the Urbania round on time.

Bangalore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

Saundatti is about 470 km from Bangalore on NH48 through Tumakuru, Chitradurga, Davanagere, Haveri and Hubballi, with the last 40 km from Dharwad on the Saundatti road, so about 940 km there and back. The Urbania takes about 9.5 hours with breakfast, lunch at Davanagere and short tea halts.
The 12 seater, with room for bags. See all sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.
A night charge is added when the driver works late. You see the amount in the written quote ahead of booking.
Sure, the Urbania can drop you one way. It is billed at ₹2 per km more, with the return run counted. Ask for the written quote.
Not included. 1,200 km in 4 days by the 12 seater Urbania is ₹48,000, with ₹2,800 driver allowance. Add tolls, parking and GST at actuals.
It is a long day each way. Most groups stay one or two nights in Saundatti or Dharwad.
It is the slow season on the road. June to September brings steady rain to the Dharwad and Belagavi belt, and Hubballi gets most of its 838 mm a year in those months, so the drive takes longer and the temple steps are wet. Late October to early February is mild and nearly dry, the best time for elders. If you go in the rains, start early and avoid driving after dark.
The Urbania's front captain seats recline and ride smoothly, so seat elders there. We halt about every two hours, at Tumakuru, Chitradurga, Davanagere, Haveri and Hubballi, and the van stops at the door each time. Keep a cushion and their medicines in the cabin. For anyone who tires easily, a night at Hubballi splits the trip into two easy days.
