Pickup
At 5:30 the Urbania is at your door, a hotel or Mysore Junction. People heading to family in Anantapur often take Mysore pak, a silk saree or something in sandalwood as a gift; shop the day before, because nothing opens this early. The 370 km run takes around seven and a half hours with meals. Elders appreciate the wide door, the high roof and seats that recline. Breakfast is planned at Bidadi, a little over two hours away.

Optional halt
Around 45 km out lies Mandya, where elders can step down for the restroom while the others doze. Sugar made this town, and its first mill, Mysore Sugar Company, opened in 1933, and cane still grows right up to the roadside. October brings Mandya most of its rain, so in that month the road can be wet in the early hours. The Urbania stays on the smooth expressway, and breakfast comes in about an hour.

Breakfast
Bidadi, about 110 km from Mysore, serves the soft, wide thatte idli that elders find easy to eat. The driver leaves the expressway at the exit and parks right by the eatery, so nobody walks far, and twenty minutes allows a calm breakfast. Trains and buses connect Bidadi with the city. What comes next is the long loop around the city towards the airport highway, so a restroom break here saves a request later.

Tea halt
Devanahalli greets the Urbania at about 185 km, right where the loop round the city meets NH44. Airport traffic never stops on this stretch, and has grown since the second terminal opened in November 2022. The toll plaza near the town, the first on NH44 heading this way, has been running since 2011. A ten minute tea stop lets elders stretch. On winter mornings the fog here has normally cleared by the time the van arrives.

Fuel stop
The Urbania refuels at Bagepalli, close to 250 km from Mysore and the final Karnataka town on this highway. Elders can stretch and use the restroom meanwhile. Small patches of mulberry, grown for silk where water allows, stand out against the dry groundnut fields. The town lies at about 707 m, and a toll booth sits on NH44 beside it. Penukonda, where lunch waits, is about 45 km into Andhra Pradesh.

Lunch
At Penukonda, about 295 km along, the group stops for lunch; ask the hotel to keep chilli low for elders, since Rayalaseema cooking is very hot. History is everywhere in this town. A palace built in 1575, Gagan Mahal, blends Hindu and Muslim building styles, and the dargah of the Sufi saint Baba Fakhruddin, called Babayya, is honoured by both faiths. The old fort walls can be seen from the van. About 75 km of highway remain.

City drop
In Anantapur the Urbania brings you to the door of your home or hotel. The city sits on NH44, and another road leads from here towards Chennai by way of Renigunta. Try ragi sangati with natu kodi curry, the signature meal of the region, but ask for less chilli for elders. Groundnut, sunflower, cotton and silk keep the district's economy going. Dharmavaram, roughly 40 km away, weaves silk sarees that carry a GI tag.

It can, mostly in September and October. Evening downpours jam the roads around the city, and the loop from Bidadi to Devanahalli then takes longer. With a 5:30 start, the Urbania clears that stretch in the morning, before the evening showers. North of Devanahalli, the dry country rarely sees heavy rain.
Yes, and wedding guests often do exactly that, setting off from Mysore around midnight to arrive at dawn. Night traffic on both highways is light, and passengers can doze on the reclining seats. For such trips the driver takes his rest before the journey, then sleeps in Anantapur once everyone is dropped.
