Group pickup
Everyone meets at one address in Mysuru, and the tempo traveller rolls out at 5:30. Friends who hoped to squeeze in the Mysore zoo or Karanji lake should check the day, because both stay shut on Tuesdays, and the palace opens its gates only around 10, too late for this departure. Anantapur lies about 370 km north, roughly seven and a half hours including halts. Luggage rides at the back, water and snacks at the seats, and breakfast is planned at Bidadi.

Optional halt
Mandya, the district town in the middle of the cane belt, passes at around 45 km. The van pauses for five minutes only if someone asks. Jaggery from this district beats every other in Karnataka for the number of units making it, and a block or two is a cheap souvenir on the way home, when the juice stalls are open as well. Melukote, the hill temple town about 25 km off, is worth its own day. Breakfast is about an hour away.

Breakfast
Bidadi, around 110 km into the drive, feeds the group breakfast. Long before the expressway, the old two lane road made this town the place every Mysore traveller ate, and its thatte idli joints still trade on the old road. The van uses the exit and parks clear of the carriageway, and twenty minutes is fair for fifteen people. The Meher Baba spiritual centre is also here. After this the van circles the city to reach the airport highway.

Tea halt
NH44 picks up the van near Devanahalli, at about 185 km, once the loop round the city is done. Here a ring road heads off towards Doddaballapur and Hoskote, and its Nallur toll is collected by cameras instead of a booth. The old fort shelters a Venugopala Swamy temple decorated with Ramayana carvings. Ten minutes of tea and a restroom break sets the group up for the long, straight highway north. The cricket board's academy has a campus in this town too.

Fuel stop
While the driver refuels at Bagepalli, about 250 km out, the group can use the restroom. It is a dry, drought prone corner of Karnataka, broken by boulders and low hills, and the farms depend on a single rainy season crop sown in late June. Gudibande, a hill fort raised in seven tiers in the 17th century, is in this district, but too far off for today. Soon after the town the van enters Andhra Pradesh at the Kodikonda border.

Lunch
Lunch is at Penukonda, about 295 km from Mysore. Hotels serve Andhra meals with fiery pickles and heaps of rice; ask for milder curries for children. Jain heritage runs deep in this town: the Pache Parsvanath shrine has a Parsvanath idol cut from one block of green stone, and the Ajitnath temple stands nearby. Children usually enjoy the huge carving of Kumbhakarna asleep while demons try to rouse him. From here Anantapur is about 75 km away.

City drop
In Anantapur the tempo traveller sets the group down at the hotel, home or hall. The city lies on NH44, with Gooty roughly 52 km further on and Kurnool about 148 km. Meals here are built on millets, jowar, bajra and ragi, and a typical breakfast is uggani, puffed rice upma, with mirchi bajji on the side. Of all the districts in Andhra Pradesh this one gets the least rain, so keep bottles full. The sports village by the highway marks the way in.

One way the city is about 370 km from Mysore, so a return covers about 740 km. A tempo traveller needs about 7.5 hours, with breakfast at Bidadi, a fuel stop at Bagepalli and lunch at Penukonda, mostly on NH44 after the city loop.
They are extra. Tolls, parking, permits and GST are added at actual cost.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. On our Mysore card that is ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Sure. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
Yes. It is a short detour off NH44 near the border. Tell us when you book.
The 12 seater, one seat spare for bags. Each size and rate is on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Mostly, yes. After the loop round the city, NH44 is a wide national highway from Devanahalli through Bagepalli to Anantapur. Lorry traffic is heavy in places, and tolls are paid at Devanahalli and Bagepalli. The state border at Kodikonda needs a short permit check, which the driver handles while the group stays seated.
Yes. The tempo traveller has a luggage space at the back for suitcases and gift boxes, and the driver loads it at your door. For a big wedding party with trunks, tell us at booking; we can send a bigger van or suggest a mini bus so nothing rides in the aisle.
