Door pickup
Pickup from home or office at 7:30 am. The Urbania is long and tall, so it needs a gate or road it can turn in, and basements are too low. Elders sit in the front rows, where the ride is smoothest. The expressway main road has had no two wheelers or autos since August 2023, so it is calm for a van. Breakfast is on the service road at Ramanagara.
Breakfast
Breakfast on the expressway service road at Ramanagara, about 45 km out. The Urbania stops at the hotel door so elders step straight in. Twenty five minutes is enough for a group of ten. Ramanagara has been the headquarters of its own district since 2007, and its silk cocoon market is among the largest in Asia. Janapada Loka, the folk art museum near the road, is closed on Tuesdays, worth noting for the return.
Toy shops
Toy shopping at Channapatna, about 60 km out, means leaving the expressway, which runs round the town. Give the group ten minutes if they want it. Apart from toys, the lacquer shops sell wooden kitchen sets and puzzles that make light gifts for grandchildren. Elders often ask for the Kengal Anjaneya temple instead; it stands by the road some 10 km before Channapatna and suits a short darshan on the drive home.
Turn off
Maddur, around the 80 km mark, is where the Urbania exits towards Malavalli. Fifteen minutes here is enough for coffee and a fresh vada, or a tender coconut from a roadside heap. The town is roughly 60 km short of Mysore. Elders keen on temples may like the Varadaraja shrine, a short drive into town, whose idol stands about 12 ft and is carved on both faces. Beyond Maddur the van follows SH 33 south, a narrower road than the expressway.
Last town
Malavalli is the last town before the falls, about 110 km out, among sugarcane fields; Mandya district makes much of its jaggery in small units called alemanes. The Urbania drives through. Halagur, on the Kanakapura side, is about 21 km away. After Malavalli the road crosses the Kaveri, and the falls turn comes after the bridge. If elders need a restroom before the viewpoints, ask here, as the facilities ahead are basic.
Viewpoints
About three hours with breakfast. The Urbania parks close to the viewpoint so elders can see the main view without a long walk. The falls drop about 91 m in all, and the best flow is from July to October; in summer they thin to a few streams. The power station here, designed with M. Visvesvaraya, opened in 1902. The driver waits at the parking and keeps the van cool.

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.

On this route Shivanasamudra is about 145 km from Bangalore, about 290 km for the return. The Urbania uses the Mysore expressway to Maddur and SH 33 through Malavalli, and three hours each way is a comfortable estimate with breakfast.
One day at 300 km and ₹40/km is ₹12,000, any size. Add ₹700 driver allowance, tolls and GST.
Yes. Low steps, good headroom and a quiet ride.
The 12 seater. See Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.
We arrange them with drivers from owners we work with, at our rate.
Yes, it is on the way.
From July to October, after the monsoon rains, the falls are full and spread wide. November and December still have good water and fewer crowds. By March to May the falls thin to a few streams, and the trip is less rewarding. Weekdays are calmer than weekends in the peak months.
Yes, if planned. The road from the falls to Maddur is smaller and slow in the dark, so leave the falls by 5 pm. From Maddur the Urbania joins the expressway, which is wide and smooth at night. Elders can rest in the reclining seats on the way home.
