Group pickup
The tempo traveller collects the group at 5:30 am from a single agreed spot. It is about 240 km to Anthargange, close to five hours with the breaks, so the group reaches the hill by late morning. Mysore bonda with sambar and coconut chutney is the city's tea time snack; if anyone wants it for the road, buy it the evening before. Bags and trekking shoes go into the back, water bottles stay in the cabin.

Tea
Maddur, 65 km out, is the first tea stop for the tempo traveller. Local lore credits the town's railway platform sellers with the first Maddur vada. Kokkarebellur, a village where painted storks and pelicans nest from about October to March, is about 12 km off, a good day trip from Mysore another time. Fifteen minutes for tea and vada, then on to Bidadi for a proper breakfast. Ask for coconut chutney on the side.

Breakfast
Breakfast for the tempo traveller is at Bidadi, after about 110 km. Thatte idli, larger and flatter than the usual idli, is what the town is known for. Wonderla amusement park is just off the road here, a separate outing with children. The expressway skips Bidadi, so the van uses the service road. Twenty minutes, then NICE Road round the city towards Hoskote. The thatte idli comes with chutney and sambar, filling enough to carry the group past noon on the hill.

Tea
Hoskote, about 200 km out, is known for dum biryani served from early morning, with Sunday queues from about 4:30 am. By the time the tempo traveller arrives it is a tea stop. Hoskote is now a satellite city, so the stretch up to it is built up and slow. Fifteen minutes, then the group joins NH75 for Kolar, about 35 km ahead. The road from here is a four lane highway with little to slow the van.

Tea
The last town before the hill is Kolar, the district headquarters, about 235 km from Mysore. The district holds a 13 day Karaga festival in summer, and Kolar Gold Fields lies about 30 km south east of the town. The tempo traveller stops fifteen minutes for tea and snacks. Anthargange is only a few km on, so buy water and fruit here. Kolar has fuel stations and ATMs too, so settle cash needs before the hill.

Drop at the foot
The tempo traveller reaches the foot of Anthargange about five hours after Mysore. The granite hill is popular with young trekkers, especially at weekends, so expect crowds then. The van parks at the base; the driver waits while the group climbs. Meals and fuel are in Kolar town, 3 to 4 km away. Carry water, wear shoes with grip and keep the group together on the steps. Lunch is best in Kolar after the climb.

The hill is greener, but the granite steps and paths get slippery. Treks are popular in the dry months; in the rains, keep to the main path and carry rain jackets. The tempo traveller road is fine in all seasons, as the route is the expressway and NH75.
The temple is up a flight of steps, which most children manage easily. Elders should take it slowly with breaks, or rest in the van. The caves and the upper hill are a scramble, best left to fit adults. Keep water, snacks and a first aid kit in the cabin.
