Home pickup
At 5 am the tempo traveller waits outside your gate; basement clearance is measured to the lowest duct or beam, and a tall van seldom fits. The trip is about 650 km over two days, with a night at Kurnool. Big bags go behind the last row; one small bag per family for the overnight stop stays near the seats. Keep water, snacks and pillows for the children, who usually sleep through the first two hours.

Breakfast
Breakfast for the family at Chikkaballapur, about 60 km out, at a highway hotel with parking for the van. Thirty minutes is comfortable for twelve. Muddenahalli, the birthplace of the engineer Sir M. Visvesvaraya, is within about 3 km of the town, and Nandi Hills about 10 km. Neither fits today, but the children may like to know they are passing the home town of a famous engineer and dam builder. The driver fills diesel while you eat; the van has a long run north ahead.

Restroom halt
A fifteen minute restroom halt at Penukonda, a Vijayanagara fort town about 145 km out. Children may enjoy a quick look at the giant carving of Kumbhakarna asleep, with asuras trying to rouse him, if the family has a few minutes. The Pache Parsvanath Swamy temple keeps a Jain idol carved from a single green stone. Back in the van, Anantapur is about 65 km on, and the land outside turns flatter and drier with every kilometre.

Bypass
The van stays on the bypass round Anantapur. The plains here are the driest in Andhra Pradesh, and the farms grow groundnut, sunflower and cotton. On the way back, families often buy silk sarees from Dharmavaram, south west of the city, where the GI tagged weaves come from. For now, the van presses on to Gooty, about 55 km ahead, and the night halt at Kurnool. This is the hottest part of the day, so keep the curtains drawn on the sunny side and the water bottles passing round.

Tea halt
Tea at Gooty, with the fort on its rocky hills behind the town. Murari Rao's seat, a pavilion perched on a 300 m cliff, is the highest point, and the fort is a centrally protected monument. Gooty sits around 345 m and is warm by afternoon, so refill water bottles. Tadipatri, with its Vijayanagara temples, is about 52 km east, but today the van keeps north. Kurnool is about 95 km on.

Night halt
The family stops for the night in Kurnool, on the Tungabhadra river, about 360 km from home. Pick a hotel with parking for the van; the driver rests too. Kurnool sits low at about 273 m, so evenings are warm. The district is known for diamond hunting after the first monsoon rains wash away the topsoil, a story the children will like. Start again by about six in the morning to reach the temple by early afternoon.

Coffee halt
Next morning the van crosses the Krishna at Beechupally into Telangana. Jadcherla, a municipality on NH44 about 130 km from Kurnool, makes a coffee halt. Asian Highway 43 and NH167 pass through the town, so it is a busy junction. The 12th century Chennakeshava temple is in town if the family wants a short darshan before breakfast. Twenty minutes, then on towards Shamshabad, about 60 km south of the ring road exit for Bhongir and the temple.

Ring road
At Shamshabad, where Hyderabad's international airport opened on 23 March 2008, the van turns onto the Outer Ring Road. Routes to Yadagirigutta take the ring road from here, so the van bypasses the city entirely. The Vendikonda Siddalingeswara temple lies on Siddulagutta Road in Shamshabad mandal, for those who know it. The ring road has no stops except at exits, so use the restroom at Jadcherla. The van covers the ring road quickly, and the family sees the city skyline only from a distance.

Through Bhongir
Bhongir, about 47 km from Hyderabad, is the last town before Yadagirigutta, around 13 to 15 km on. The huge rock in the middle of the town is hard to miss. Pochampally, in the same division, is famous for ikat sarees woven by hand, with a GI tag since 2004; a family with time on the return can shop there. The van drives on to the temple hill, and the children can watch for the gopuram rising above the town.

Temple hill
About thirteen hours of driving across the two days. The Lakshmi Narasimha temple stands on a hillock at Yadagirigutta, rebuilt and expanded between 2016 and March 2022. The van drops the family at the point vehicles are allowed and parks below. Prasadam and simple meals are served near the temple. Hyderabad is about 65 km away, so the family can add a day in the city on the way home.

Count on about 650 km each way, or 1,300 km in all. The tempo traveller runs on NH44 through Chikkaballapur, Anantapur, Gooty, Kurnool and Jadcherla, then takes the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road from Shamshabad to Bhongir. It needs about thirteen hours of driving, over two days with a night at Kurnool.
5 days, 1500 km at ₹24/km: ₹36,000. Driver allowance ₹2,500 for five days. Tolls, permits and GST extra.
The 17 seater. All sizes are on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
At ₹34/km, ₹51,000 for 1500 km.
Yes, about 15 km off NH44 near the Andhra border.
Yes. City km are added at the same rate.
It can. From about mid November to mid February fog sits around the airport between about 3 and 8:30 am, and a 5 am start meets it on NH44 near Devanahalli. The driver slows down until it lifts, which can add half an hour. Past Chikkaballapur the road is usually clear.
For a family of twelve, one medium bag each fits behind the last row of a tempo traveller, with a small overnight bag kept in the cabin for the Kurnool stop. Soft bags pack better than suitcases. Tell us the number of people and bags at booking so we send the right size.
