Pickup at your door
Anantapur is a full day's drive, about 370 km, so the car is at your gate in Mysuru by 5:30, whether that is a house, a hotel or the railway station. Expect about six and a half hours with breakfast and lunch. If you will return to Mysore late some other evening, remember the city shuts its shops and most restaurants before 10 pm, so any shopping happens earlier. Keep water, a cap and plain snacks within reach; breakfast comes at Bidadi.

Optional halt
Mandya passes about 45 km into the trip, its fields green with sugarcane even in the dry months. The car stops for five minutes only if somebody needs a restroom, since stalls are just opening at this hour. Cane is boiled into jaggery in sheds across the district, and a block is easy to pick up on the return. The KRS dam, finished in 1932, lies in this district too, though well off this road. Breakfast follows in about an hour.

Breakfast
Bidadi, at about 110 km, is where the car turns off for breakfast. The town's speciality is thatte idli, an idli steamed flat and wide on a round plate, best with a little butter. The eateries sit on the old road, reached through the expressway exit, and fifteen minutes is enough for a family. Fuel here is a good idea before the loop around the city. Coming home, the expressway toll for this side is paid at Sheshagirihalli, near Bidadi.

Tea halt
After skirting the city the car meets NH44 at Devanahalli, roughly 185 km out, with the airport about 5 km from the town. The Sadahalli plaza on this road is the busiest toll in Karnataka. A short tea halt is welcome after the city traffic. Devanahalli's oval fort, first raised in mud in 1501 and rebuilt in stone by Hyder Ali, stands by the highway, and Tipu Sultan was born in the town. Next comes a long, straight run north.

Fuel stop
Bagepalli, about 250 km from Mysore, is the last town in Karnataka on NH44 and a handy fuel stop; pumps stand on both sides of the road. Ten minutes covers fuel and a restroom. The town sits at about 707 m in dry, rocky country, where farmers grow groundnut, onion and sunflower. A toll booth stands on the highway here. A few kilometres on, the road crosses into Andhra Pradesh, and Penukonda, the lunch town, is about 45 km away.

Lunch
Penukonda, around 295 km out, makes a good lunch halt. Andhra meals here are spicy and filling, with plenty of rice; ask for less chilli if needed. The town was a Vijayanagara stronghold, and the old fort walls run right by it. A car can take you to the Yerramanchi gate, the fort's main entrance, where an 11 ft Hanuman stands, for a quick look. Gagan Mahal, a palace of 1575, is also inside. Anantapur is about 75 km further on NH44.

City drop
Anantapur is a city on NH44, and the car drops you at your door, a hotel or a function hall, then waits on a round trip until your return day. The Clock Tower and Sapthagiri Circle are the landmarks drivers use to find addresses. Rayalaseema food here is famous for its heat; try ragi sangati with natu kodi curry, the region's classic meal. Dharmavaram, about 40 km away, weaves GI tagged silk sarees, worth a visit if you have a spare morning.

November to February is the most comfortable time. Mornings are cool, and the dry country north of Bagepalli is pleasant by day. Anantapur district is the driest part of Andhra Pradesh, with about 508 mm of rain in a year, so the monsoon rarely stops the trip, but summer afternoons are long and dry. Carry water whatever the month.
Yes, if you break it well. The trip is about 7.5 to 8 hours by car, with breakfast at Bidadi, a fuel stop at Bagepalli and lunch at Penukonda. Andhra food is very spicy, so carry plain snacks, curd rice or bread for children. A short look at the Penukonda fort walls makes a welcome break for restless children.
