Pickup at your door
Badami is about 500 km away, a full day of about 10.5 to 11 hours by car, so the driver reaches your door around half past four, at home, a hotel by the palace, the railway station or the Mandakalli airport. The route leaves Mysore on the highway past Srirangapatna, turns left for Pandavapura and runs on to Nagamangala, avoiding the city traffic of the north. If you plan to shop for sarees or sweets on return, reach Mysore before ten at night, when most shops close.
Tea stop
Nagamangala, about 65 km out, sits where NH150A meets SH85, and the car stops ten minutes for tea. The 12th century Hoysala Saumyakeshava temple in town is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India, and the Yoganarasimha temple stands right behind it; the morning session opens roughly at seven. A short darshan fits if the family is up early. From here NH150A runs north through farmland towards Huliyar, about 100 km on, the long empty stretch of the day.
Breakfast and fuel
Breakfast and a full tank come at Huliyar, around 165 km from home, a junction town of Chiknayakanhalli taluk where NH150A, NH69 and SH47 cross. It has banks, fuel pumps and plain hotels that serve quickly, so twenty minutes is enough for four people. Tiptur, the coconut town, lies about 42 km away on another road. Roads fan out from here to Sira, Hosadurga and Hiriyur. The car keeps north for Hiriyur, about 40 km on, where it joins NH48.
Lunch
For lunch the car pulls in at Hiriyur on NH48, a little over 200 km from Mysore, and thirty minutes suits a family. The town lies on the Vedavati river at about 630 m. Devotees can take a quick darshan at the Teru Malleshwara temple of Shiva, which pilgrims call Dakshina Kashi. March and April are the hottest months here, so keep the AC on and water close. Chitradurga is about 40 km north on a fast stretch of highway.
Fort halt
Chitradurga, about 245 km out, is a short halt or a drive past. The stone fort, Kallina Kote, has seven rings of walls over about 1,500 acres; a full visit needs hours, so on this day most families only look from the road. Wind farms on the hills around mark the approach to the city. Here the car leaves NH48 and takes NH50 north west through Kudligi towards Hosapete, about 125 km. Fill water bottles; the land is dry.
Tea stop
Hosapete, about 375 km out, is the Vijayanagara district town on the Tungabhadra and the gateway to Hampi. The car stops fifteen minutes for tea and fuel. Krishnadevaraya built the town in 1520 in honour of his mother Nagamma. The Tungabhadra dam next to the town is India's largest stone masonry dam. Hosapete has a large market, so stock up on water and snacks. Badami is about 125 km on, via Kushtagi.
Arrival
After about nine hours the car reaches Badami and drops you at the hotel. The town stands below red sandstone cliffs, and it was Vatapi, the capital of the early Chalukyas. KSTDC Mayura Chalukya in Badami is the usual stay, since Pattadakal and Aihole have few rooms. Badami has a railway station if anyone leaves by train. October to February or March is the season; the area gets very hot after that, so keep sightseeing to mornings and evenings.
Is a Mysore to Badami Aihole Pattadakal cab enough for a temple and history trip, just a few of you? Book it as a Mysore to Badami Aihole Pattadakal taxi for a drop, or keep the car for the whole trip. We pick up anywhere in Mysuru: a palace-side hotel, the railway station, the bus stand or Mandakalli airport. See cab rental in Mysore for the cars; we have run cabs from Mysore since 2009.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Badami is about 500 km from Mysore one way, about 1,000 km for the round trip. The cab goes via Nagamangala, Huliyar and Hiriyur, then Chitradurga and Hosapete. By car it takes about 10.5 to 11 hours of driving with halts, so plan at least three or four days for Badami, Aihole and Pattadakal.
Night allowance on the Badami Aihole Pattadakal run applies after 10 pm: ₹400 a night.
Yes. A Mysore to Badami Aihole Pattadakal one way taxi is quoted on request.
An Innova or Innova Crysta. Six people and their bags fit for the Badami trip. All our cars are on cab rental in Mysore.
Tolls on the 500 km Badami Aihole Pattadakal road, parking, permits and GST come extra, at cost.
Leave by 5:30 am. A car is flexible; leave later if you like. With the halts on this page you reach Badami Aihole Pattadakal in about 10.5 to 11 hours.
October to February or March is the season. Badami and the road through Hiriyur, Chitradurga and Hosapete are hot, and summer days are very hard for walking around the caves and temples. Chitradurga gets only about 576 mm of rain a year, so the monsoon is light, but the heat returns quickly after it.
It is about 10.5 to 11 hours of driving, which is long. Families with elders or small children can break the trip with a night at Chitradurga or Hosapete, about 245 km and 375 km from Mysore. That also leaves time for the Chitradurga fort or Hampi on the way. Carry water, caps and snacks.
