Pickup at one point
The mini bus collects the group at one meeting point in Mysuru at about half past four, so plan for everyone to sleep early the night before. In September or October, check the Mysore traffic advisory, because Dasara diversions affect the exits. Rather than the Tumakuru side, the driver heads out by Srirangapatna, branches off for Pandavapura and reaches Nagamangala in about an hour and a half, before the long NH150A run north. Badami is roughly 500 km away, about eleven hours for a mini bus with halts.
Tea stop
Twenty minutes at Nagamangala, about 65 km out, for tea and the restroom queue. In the middle of town stands the Saumyakeshava temple, a Hoysala work of the 12th century that Ganga, Vijayanagara and later rulers each renovated in turn; it opens in a morning and an evening session. The nearest railway station, B G Nagar, is about 17 km away. From here the mini bus heads north on NH150A, a long, quiet road towards Huliyar.
Breakfast and fuel
Huliyar, roughly 165 km from Mysore, is where twenty people take breakfast and the mini bus takes diesel, thirty five minutes in all. Roads leave this junction for Tiptur, Turuvekere, Chikkanayakanahalli, Hosadurga, Sira and Hiriyur, so trucks and buses pass through all day. The hotels are simple but quick for a group if one person orders. South of here, NH150A is the old Tumakuru to Mysore road. Hiriyur is about 40 km ahead.
Lunch
Lunch for twenty at Hiriyur, about 205 km out, takes forty five minutes at a hotel on NH48. Devotees can step into the Teru Malleshwara temple for a quick darshan. The town sits on the Vedavati river, and March and April are its hottest months, so water bottles should be refilled here. The national highway is busy with long distance buses heading north. Chitradurga is about 40 km on. Count heads before boarding.
Fort halt
Chitradurga, about 245 km out, is an optional halt. If the group wants the fort, it usually opens about 6 am to 6 pm, and tickets are bought by scanning a QR code at the gate, which is slow when the mobile network is weak, so buy online first. Wear sturdy shoes for the rocky climb. The Chandravalli caves lie about 3 km from the fort area. Here NH50 branches off NH48 for Hosapete.
Tea stop
A twenty minute halt in Hosapete covers tea and diesel for the mini bus, around 375 km into the trip. The market here is large, so this is where the group buys fruit and water for the last stretch. Kannada is the main language, with big Urdu and Telugu speaking communities. Hosapete Junction lies on the Hubballi to Guntakal line. The last 125 km to Badami go north on NH50 to Kushtagi and then west, about two and a half hours.
Arrival
After roughly eleven hours on the road the mini bus stops at the group's Badami hotel. Twenty people are best placed at the KSTDC Mayura Chalukya or a hotel near it, since Pattadakal and Aihole have very few rooms. Pattadakal lies about 22 km away and Aihole about 23 km, so allow two days for the three sites. The season runs October to February or March. Afternoons are hot, so plan sightseeing early and late.
Is a Mysore to Badami Aihole Pattadakal mini bus right for a school history trip with a group too big for a van? It is the right size: one bus, one bill, one plan. The driver comes to you in Mysuru, whether that is a hotel by the palace, the station or the bus stand. We have arranged mini bus on rent in Mysore since 2009.

The drive is about 500 km one way, about 1,000 km in all, via Nagamangala, Huliyar, Hiriyur, Chitradurga and Hosapete. A mini bus needs about 11 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts, so groups usually plan four days for the three sites.
Sure. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
They are extra. GST, tolls, parking and any permit are charged at actual.
Yes. Driving past 10 pm adds the driver's night allowance, shown in the written quote ahead of booking. Expect ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
The 25 seater: all get a seat and the bags go in. Sizes are on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, once you are there. All three are within roughly 35 km. Badami caves early, Pattadakal by noon, Aihole after lunch.
October to February or March suits a group best, with cooler days for walking the caves and temples. Avoid April and May, when the heat is very strong. Festival days at Banashankari temple near Badami bring crowds, so check the dates.
Break the day at Nagamangala, Huliyar, Hiriyur, Chitradurga and Hosapete, so children get out every two hours. Keep water, fruit and snacks in the mini bus, and curtains drawn in the afternoon heat. A night halt at Chitradurga or Hosapete makes the trip much easier.
