Pickup
At 6:30 am the Urbania stops at your gate. It is a tall van and cannot enter most basements, so the bags are brought down to the road. Homes in south Bangalore can join Mysore Road from NICE Road and skip the centre altogether, and the expressway beyond runs about 118 km. Wayanad evenings turn cool, so a shawl for each elder is worth carrying in the van. The first halt is breakfast at Maddur, about 80 km from the city.
Breakfast
Breakfast for the Urbania is at Maddur, on the Shimsha river about 80 km out. Vada sellers line the old road here and in Mandya; ask for a fresh batch for the twelve of you. Elders who prefer a temple visit can see the Narasimha shrine about 1 km inside the town, an old Hoysala period temple with a 7 ft image carved in black stone. Allow twenty five minutes. Coconut sellers along the highway are a reminder that Maddur ships tender coconuts to other states daily.
Ring road
The Urbania stays on the ring road around Mysore and turns south onto NH 766, the highway that runs all the way to Wayanad. If the return falls on a Sunday or a public holiday, plan to pass the palace after 7 pm, when about 100,000 bulbs light it up for under an hour, an easy treat for elders. Shopkeepers in Mysore speak Kannada and English far more than Hindi, which is useful to know before any stop in the city.
Temple stop
A short darshan at Nanjangud breaks the drive nicely for elders. Inside the Srikanteshwara temple, the walk is long and barefoot, as the complex is among the biggest in Karnataka, so those with bad knees can sit in the corridor while the rest go round. Wear traditional clothes. Tipu Sultan once gifted the temple an emerald lingam, brought out for viewing on one day in the year. As you leave town, look for the old Kabini bridge from 1735, now a heritage monument. Keep it to twenty minutes; Gundlupet is 35 km on.
Last fuel
Gundlupet is the last fuel and restroom stop before the forest. The flower farms here supply Kerala's Onam market, so in August and September the fields and the market are at their busiest, with more traffic on the road. Vineyards around Gundlupet have also been promoted to Onam season travellers. The town sits close to both the Tamil Nadu and Kerala borders. Ten minutes, then the Urbania enters the forest on NH 766.
Forest
Past the state line the same forest goes on as the Muthanga range of the Wayanad sanctuary, mostly moist deciduous teak with patches of semi evergreen. White rumped and red headed vultures were counted nesting here in 2016, so the bird watchers in the group should keep binoculars ready. The Urbania drives through without a halt, as stopping is not allowed. December to May is the best season for animals here, and the monsoon months are the wettest. Sultan Bathery, where the group can eat, is about 15 km ahead.
Arrival
The Urbania reaches Sultan Bathery in about five hours, and the driver drops the group at the hotel door with the bags. Bathery's market has Wayanad pepper and cardamom, local coffee and forest honey, easy shopping for elders who prefer a short walk. The Wayanad Heritage Museum at Ambalavayal makes a calm outing on a rest day. The nearest railway stations are Mysore and Calicut, useful if a relative joins the group later. Nights are cool at about 900 m, so unpack the shawls first.

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.

About 260 km one way by Maddur, Mysore, Nanjangud, Gundlupet and Muthanga, which makes about 520 km for the round trip. The Urbania takes about 5 hours with breakfast and a temple stop. After Mysore the road is NH 766 all the way, with a forest stretch near the border.
2 days at 600 km and ₹40/km come to ₹24,000 for any size. Add ₹700 a day allowance, tolls and GST.
The Urbania is quieter with more headroom. The tempo traveller costs less a km. For elders, most people take the Urbania.
The 16 seater. All sizes are on Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.
Between 6 am and 9 pm. The forest road is closed at night.
We arrange them with drivers from owners we work with, at our rate.
August and September, before Onam, when Gundlupet's flower farms and market are at their peak and Kerala traffic is heavy. Mysore's Dasara in September or October also slows the ring road. December to May is the best time for the Muthanga sanctuary, and June to September brings heavy rain to Wayanad, so plan extra time then.
Yes. The longest stretch without a stop is the forest between Gundlupet and Muthanga, about an hour, so use the restroom at Gundlupet. Children enjoy spotting deer and elephants from the van. Carry snacks and water, and a warm layer for the evenings in Bathery. The Urbania's seats have room for a child seat if you bring one.
