Pickup at your door
The Urbania picks up from the house, a hotel near the palace or the railway station, at most two stops, and leaves at five. In September or October, Dasara crowds and traffic diversions slow every exit, so on those days we start earlier still. The reclining seats let older guests sleep through the first stretch. Ahobilam is about 480 km away and the day runs nine hours or more with halts. Keep shawls handy, because the AC is cool at dawn. The first stop for food is Devanahalli, about 185 km on.
Bypass
At the city end of the expressway the Urbania takes NICE Road instead of entering town. The ring runs from Mysore Road round to Tumkur Road and is tolled. It has no restrooms or food stops, so we suggest everyone uses the facilities at pickup. Elders can rest; the surface is smooth and there are no signals. After the ring the van crosses on the Outer Ring Road to Hebbal, where the flyovers can be slow at peak hour, then heads north. Breakfast is about 55 km beyond the ring.
Breakfast
Devanahalli, about 185 km from Mysore, is the breakfast halt. The Urbania stops at the door of a highway hotel, so elders walk only a few steps. Inside the old fort, a few minutes from the highway, the Venugopala Swamy temple is the oldest building, with Ramayana and Krishna panels carved on its walls; it is a quiet, flat visit if the group wants ten minutes of darshan. The first toll leaving the city on this road is the Devanahalli plaza. Keep half an hour, then Bagepalli is about 55 km on.
Before Andhra
Bagepalli is the tea halt, about 240 km out and just below the Andhra Pradesh border. The Urbania keeps the AC on while elders stay seated and the others buy tea. A toll plaza stands on NH44 at Bagepalli, after which the van turns north east for Kadiri. Fields here carry groundnut on dry land and mulberry, onion and sunflower where there is water. Only one rain fed crop grows a year, from late June to December, so the landscape is brown in summer. Fifteen minutes, then Kadiri.
Lunch
Kadiri is about 320 km from Mysore and the lunch stop. Order a mild Andhra meal for elders; the pickles and podi are hot. The Urbania drops seniors close to the Khadri Lakshmi Narasimha temple gate and waits on the temple road, so a short darshan fits in after lunch. Kadiri is on NH42, the road that links Anantapur, Tirupati, Chennai and Kurnool, so the town is busy with buses. Puttaparthi is about 65 km away for families who want it another day. Forty five minutes here.
Drive on
Most Urbania groups keep moving through Pulivendula, a Kadapa district town about 360 km out. It sits at around 272 m, much lower than Kadiri, and the plain is hot in the afternoon, so the van keeps the AC on and the curtains drawn. If anyone needs a restroom, a fuel pump on the main road is the cleanest option; ten minutes is enough. Pulivendula has a four lane road to Kadapa, but our route goes on to Allagadda. About 120 km remain to Ahobilam.
Tea and fuel
Allagadda, a revenue division town of Nandyal district, is about 455 km from Mysore. Elders can stay seated in the Urbania while the others buy tea and water. The driver fills fuel here, because there is little near the temples and tomorrow brings short runs between shrines. Nandyal, about 42 km away, is the nearest bigger town, with the railway station about 38 km from here. The van turns off for Ahobilam at Allagadda; the last 25 km take about forty minutes.
Drop at your stay
The Urbania reaches Ahobilam about 10 to 10.5 hours after Mysore, with the halts. The driver drops the group at the rooms near Lower Ahobilam, unloads the bags and parks on the temple road for the night. Simple vegetarian meals are served at the mutt and at small hotels; there are few other food choices, so carry snacks and fruit. The village sits in the Nallamala forest, and some shrines need walking on rough paths, so elders should plan with the local jeep drivers.

Mysore 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.

Ahobilam is about 480 km from Mysore one way and about 960 km for the round trip. The Urbania takes the expressway, NICE Road and NH44 to Bagepalli, then the Kadiri, Pulivendula and Allagadda road. Plan on about nine and a half hours by Urbania, including breakfast, lunch and tea halts.
Lower Ahobilam and Upper Ahobilam. The forest treks are hard.
Ahobilam one way: on request, at ₹2 a km over the return rate, quoted on paper.
Ahobilam is roughly 480 km away; GST, tolls, parking and permits go extra at cost.
For 8 or 9 people, the 10 seater. For 10 to 13, the 12 or 13 seater. See every size on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore. For 16, the 16 seater.
Ahobilam: driving after 10 pm adds the driver night allowance, ₹700 a night.
The second half is. The road drops from about 707 m at Bagepalli to about 504 m at Kadiri and around 272 m at Pulivendula, and the plains are hot from March to June. Every Urbania is AC, so the drive is comfortable, but we start at five so the group reaches Ahobilam before the worst of the afternoon.
We do not advise it. The return is about 480 km, and a night run means a tired driver on two lane roads through Kadapa district. Leaving Ahobilam early in the morning gets the group to Mysore by night with lunch at Kadiri. If you must save time, a night halt at Kadiri splits the drive.
