Coach pickup
A full size bus loads the whole group at one point, often a hotel area near the palace or a wide road where fifty people can stow bags without holding up traffic. During Dasara the city has kept private buses away from the centre in the evenings and on the last two days, so in that season the pickup moves outside the centre. Suitcases go into the hold and each person keeps a night bag. The coordinator counts heads, and the bus pulls out at 4:30 am.
Breakfast
Breakfast for fifty is at Bidadi, about 110 km out, where the bus leaves the access controlled expressway at the exit and uses the service road to reach a large eatery with a yard. Order thatte idli for the whole group by phone from the road, so it is ready in two rounds. The toll is paid on the expressway at Kaniminike, near the city end. Forty minutes, a head count, then the long city crossing for a bus to reach the Kolar highway.
Tea
Kolar, around 215 km from Mysore, is a twenty minute tea stop for the coach at a place near the bypass with room to park. College groups know Antara Gange, the hill just outside town, for its caves and the spring that runs out of a stone bull, a short trek for another trip. Kolar district celebrates the Karaga festival in summer over 13 days, and the town is crowded then, so the bus stays on the highway. Count heads before leaving. Chittoor and lunch are around 95 km on.
Lunch
Lunch for the coach is at Chittoor, about 310 km out, at a hotel on NH40 that seats a full bus in two rounds. Book the plate count from Kolar. The town's big annual festival is the Gangamma Jatara; on those days the centre is packed, and the bus keeps to the highway hotels. Diesel pumps on this junction have room for a bus. An hour for lunch and washrooms, then about 85 km to Tirupati and the first night.
First night
The coach reaches Tirupati, around 395 km from Mysore, from the Chandragiri side in the afternoon, and the first night is here. Reserve rooms for the whole group early, at a hotel with a yard where the bus can stand. For pilgrim groups planning Tirumala, there is a security check at Alipiri for every vehicle and person going up, and the Annaprasadam hall on the hill serves free meals. The driver sleeps a full night. Tomorrow is around 410 km to Vijayawada.
Breakfast
Nellore, about 530 km from Mysore, is breakfast on day two for the coach, at a highway hotel by the bypass booked the night before. The city stands on the Penna river, and NH16 goes round it. Once a year the Rottela Panduga brings huge crowds to the dargah by Swarnala Cheruvu, and the roads near that lake are packed then. Forty minutes for fifty people. Ongole and lunch are about 130 km on.
Lunch
The coach eats lunch at Ongole, around 660 km from Mysore, at a big hotel near the bypass. Ongole is the Prakasam district headquarters, and the meal for fifty is ordered from Nellore so it is on the table when the bus arrives. A pilgrim group with a free return day can visit the Valluramma temple at Valluru, around 11 km off, or Kothapatnam beach near the town. An hour here, then around 145 km to Vijayawada.
Second night
The coach stays the second night at Vijayawada, about 805 km out, at a hotel with a yard near the highway. In Dasara the Kanaka Durga temple draws very large crowds, so in that season the bus avoids the temple side of the city. The Akkana Madanna caves at the foot of Indrakeeladri hill are a monument of national importance, a twenty minute look. The Nunna mango market trades fruit in season. Day three is about 340 km to Visakhapatnam.
Lunch
Rajahmundry, around 955 km out, is lunch on day three, at a hotel that can serve a full bus in two rounds, booked from Vijayawada. The Godavari city is the headquarters of its district. The sweet to carry home is pootharekulu, sheets of rice starch as thin as paper with sugar and ghee, made in Atreyapuram close by; one person can buy boxes for everyone. Diesel is filled here. An hour, a head count, then around 100 km to Annavaram.
Restroom halt
Annavaram, around 1,055 km from Mysore, sits on NH16 not far from Tuni. For a coach it is a twenty minute halt for tea and restrooms in the town. The Ratnagiri hill temple of Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swamy rises above; for a pilgrim group of fifty, darshan takes half a day, so tell us at booking and we shift the night halt. Visakhapatnam is around 90 km on, and the bus gets in by evening.
Third night
The bus reaches Visakhapatnam, about 1,145 km from Mysore, by evening, and the third night is here. Book rooms for fifty at a hotel with bus parking, ideally on the side of the city towards the Araku road. RK Beach, the main city beach, is a good group outing after dinner. The driver rests the full night, because the next morning is about 110 km of ghat. Head count at the hotel.
Resort drop
The Araku ghat from Visakhapatnam has many bends, so the bus climbs the last 110 km slowly in morning light and drops the group at the hotel gate. Ask your hotel in advance where a full size bus can park. In all it is about 31.5 hours of driving from Mysore for a bus, split across four days, never in one stretch. Bamboo chicken and Araku coffee are the local tastes; book dinner for fifty ahead. One head count ends the trip.

Araku Valley is about 1,255 km from Mysore, so a bus covers about 2,510 km for the round trip. The route crosses Bangalore by the ring roads, runs NH75 by Kolar and Chittoor to Tirupati, then NH16 through Nellore, Ongole, Vijayawada and Rajahmundry to Visakhapatnam, and climbs the ghat to Araku. A full size bus needs about 31.5 hours of driving with stops, over four days.
Sure. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
Plan at least nine days. The bus needs about three driving days each way, with night halts at Tirupati, Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam.
A night allowance is charged only for late night driving. You see it in the quote first. It is ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night for the bus.
The 49 seater, so everyone sits and a few seats are spare. Here it works out to ₹145,800 for 2,700 km at ₹54/km, with ₹9,000 driver allowance. All sizes are on bus on rent in Mysore.
They are extra. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
Yes. Days two and three cross the coastal plain on NH16, and at Ongole the land is only about 10 m above the sea, so summer middays are hot and humid. The bus runs its AC, but we start each day early, keep the lunch halts in shaded hotels and refill the drinking water cans for fifty at every stop. The air turns cooler once you climb to Araku.
Yes. Each day ends at a hotel by evening, at Tirupati, Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam, and no day runs more than about 410 km. Seat elders in the front rows and families with small children together. Carry medicines, snacks and motion sickness tablets for the ghat. Every halt has washrooms, and the coordinator keeps a head count at each stop.
