Pickup at your door
The mini bus collects the group from one pickup point, a hotel near the palace or the city bus stand, and leaves at five. Twenty people with bags load faster at one gate, so ask everyone to be there ten minutes early. Kannada is the main language around here, and Hindi is not widely understood outside tourist spots, which matters once you are back in town shopping. The day runs about ten and a half hours to Ahobilam. Breakfast is planned at Devanahalli, about 185 km away.
Toll ring
The mini bus leaves the expressway for NICE Road and stays out of the city traffic. The ring is tolled, and tolls are paid by FASTag; a vehicle without a working tag pays double in cash, so the driver checks the balance before the trip. No stops on the ring itself. It ends on Tumkur Road, and from there the bus takes the Outer Ring Road to Hebbal and the airport highway. A good time to count heads and collect breakfast orders, so the hotel at Devanahalli can serve twenty quickly.
Breakfast
Devanahalli is about 185 km out, beside NH44 near the airport. The hotels on the highway have room for a mini bus and serve idli, vada and coffee to a group in half an hour. Nandi Hills is about 20 km from here; it does not fit today, but some groups add it on the return. The Nandi valley around Devanahalli grows a GI tagged blue fox grape, sold at roadside stalls in season. Restrooms at the bigger hotels. Count heads before leaving; Bagepalli is about 55 km ahead.
Tea halt
Bagepalli is the last Karnataka town, about 240 km from Mysore, and a ten minute tea stop is enough for twenty people. After Bagepalli the highway crosses into Andhra Pradesh at the Kodikonda border, and the side road to Lepakshi leaves NH44 there, about 12 km from the temple; our route turns off at Bagepalli for Kadiri instead. The Andhra permit for the mini bus is paid at the border at cost. Keep the halt short, because lunch at Kadiri is about 80 km on.
Lunch
Kadiri is the lunch stop, about 320 km from Mysore. The Khadri Lakshmi Narasimha temple holds a large Brahmotsavam with a chariot festival every year, and on those days the mini bus parks outside the centre while the group walks in. On normal days the driver knows where to park near the temple. Andhra meals come with pickles and podi; ask for less chilli for the children. Keep forty five minutes for lunch and darshan together. Kadiri sits at about 504 m, the last cool town of the day.
Restroom halt
Pulivendula is about 360 km from Mysore, in Kadapa district. A quick restroom halt is all a mini bus group needs here; most only slow down and keep the time for later. Groundnut fields and dry farmland surround the town, and the heat climbs as the road drops to around 272 m. Refill water bottles at a shop on the main road. From here Allagadda is about 95 km and the turn for the temples comes soon after. The driver keeps to the main road and out of the town lanes.
Last town
Allagadda is about 455 km out, the last town before the Ahobilam road. Fill fuel here; there is little at the temple end, and the mini bus will shuttle between shrines tomorrow. Twenty people can stretch, have tea and use the restroom in fifteen minutes. Shops near the bus stand sell water, biscuits and fruit, worth buying because food is limited at Ahobilam. Allagadda is about 42 km from Nandyal, the district town. The last 25 km take about forty minutes on a narrower road.
Drop at the village
With the halts, the mini bus reaches Ahobilam about ten and a half hours after Mysore. The driver drops the group near Lower Ahobilam, where the rooms and the mutt are, and parks at the temple lot. Meals are simple vegetarian food at the mutt and a few hotels, so order dinner early for twenty. The village lies in the Nallamala forest with nine Narasimha shrines around it, and some are on rough paths; local jeeps take the forest stretch. Keep torches for the evening walk back.
Taking 20 devotees on a Mysore to Ahobilam mini bus trip to the nine Narasimha shrines? Ahobilam is in the Nallamala hills of Andhra Pradesh, home to the nine Narasimha shrines. Book it through our mini bus on rent in Mysore desk, open since 2009. The driver meets you at hotels near Mysore Palace or Mysore railway station, in Mysuru city.

Ahobilam is about 480 km from Mysore by road, so about 960 km there and back. The mini bus runs on the expressway and NICE Road, takes NH44 to Bagepalli and then the Kadiri, Pulivendula and Allagadda road. With a group of twenty and normal halts, plan on about ten and a half hours by mini bus.
Yes, Ahobilam one way on request; it runs ₹2 a km over a return, in writing.
For Ahobilam, 480 km each way, tolls, parking, permits and GST are billed at cost.
Yes, the hill road is open to the parking. The forest shrines need jeeps or a trek.
For Ahobilam: up to 16, the 16 seater; around 20, the 20 seater; 22 to 25, the 22 or 25 seater. Every size is on our mini bus on rent in Mysore page.
Past 10 pm on the Ahobilam trip, the driver gets a night allowance of ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
Yes, the highway is fine, but the forest paths at Ahobilam turn slippery after rain, and the jeep tracks can be rough. The fields along the way grow their one rain fed crop from late June to December, so that is the wet season here. Carry rain covers and shoes with grip, and keep the walking to the morning.
Snacks and water for the whole day, since food is plain and limited after Kadiri and at Ahobilam. A change of clothes, caps for the hot afternoon on the plains, and a small first aid kit with motion sickness tablets. Children can sit near the front, where the ride is smoother.
