Pickup at your door
At about half past four the tempo traveller calls at two or three homes in Mysuru, loading bags, water cans and snack boxes before the family. If anyone is hungry, a Mysore masala dosa, red chutney spread inside, from an early eatery is the classic start. Instead of the busy Tumakuru side, our road leaves past Srirangapatna, turns left for Pandavapura and Nagamangala, and then heads north on NH150A. Badami is about 500 km off, around ten hours with halts.
Tea stop
Tea in Nagamangala comes after roughly an hour and a half, fifteen minutes for the family. This Mandya district town grew up where NH150A meets SH85. The district's farm meal is ragi mudde with naati koli saaru, a country chicken curry, but at this hour tea and a snack are plenty. About 17 km away, at Basaralu, the Hoysala Mallikarjuna temple of 1234 has a tall pillar in front, a stop for some other trip.
Breakfast and fuel
Breakfast is at Huliyar, roughly 165 km from Mysore, and the traveller takes diesel while the family eats, half an hour in all. Though only a hobli town of about 14,300 people in Tumakuru district, it has taluk level offices and banks, handy if anyone needs cash. The simple hotels are quick. Tumakuru city is about 90 km away by another road. From here NH150A continues to Hiriyur, about 40 km north, where the national highway begins.
Lunch
At Hiriyur, around 205 km out, the family takes lunch on NH48, forty five minutes. Coconut villages such as Adivala ring the town, so tender coconut is easy to buy for the afternoon. On the day of the weekly santhe, the rural market, the town is crowded with buyers from the whole district. Vani Vilas Sagar, the old dam on the Vedavati, lies about 20 km away, a stop for a slower return. Chitradurga is about 40 km on.
Fort halt
Chitradurga is an optional halt at roughly 245 km. Its stone fort held linked rock tanks, Akka Thangi Honda among them, that kept the garrison supplied in sieges, and a narrow gap called Obavvana Kindi recalls Onake Obavva, said to have held off Hyder Ali's soldiers there. A proper fort visit needs sturdy shoes and several hours, so families usually save it for the drive home. From here NH50 leaves for Hosapete, about 125 km.
Tea stop
Twenty minutes at Hosapete, about 375 km out, for tea and diesel. The town is the headquarters of Vijayanagara district, on the Tungabhadra, and Hampi lies about 13 km from Hosapete Junction, a day of its own. Fruit sellers and grocers in the market here are plentiful, so buy water and bananas for the last leg. From Hosapete, NH50 runs north to Kushtagi, about 65 km, and then the road turns west for Badami.
Arrival
After about ten hours the tempo traveller drops the family at its Badami hotel. Most visitors stay at the KSTDC Mayura Chalukya, because Pattadakal and Aihole have very few rooms. The three sites are usually seen together, so two full days are a comfortable plan. October to February or March is the season; outside it the heat is fierce, so carry caps, water and sunscreen. Badami has a railway station if anyone needs to leave early.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

It is about 500 km one way and about 1,000 km there and back. The tempo traveller runs via Nagamangala, Huliyar, Hiriyur, Chitradurga and Hosapete. Plan on about 10.5 to 11 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts, and three or four days in all.
For Badami, the 16 seater, with space for bags. Every size is listed on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
On the 500 km road to Badami Aihole Pattadakal, tolls, parking fees, permits and GST are added at cost.
A one way drop to Badami Aihole Pattadakal is quoted when you ask, ₹2 a km above the return rate.
If the Badami Aihole Pattadakal tempo traveller runs past 10 pm, the night bata is ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
October to February. Summer afternoons in Badami are very hot, so plan the caves early in the day.
NH150A from Nagamangala to Huliyar and Hiriyur runs through farmland with village traffic, slower than a highway. From Hiriyur, NH48 to Chitradurga is fast, and NH50 to Hosapete is a good highway. The tempo traveller keeps a steady pace and the driver plans fuel at Huliyar and Hosapete.
For three or four days, one medium soft bag per person fits at the back if the traveller is not full. Keep caps, sunscreen, water bottles and light cotton clothes in a hand bag, as the caves and temples are hot to walk around. Shoes with grip help on the cave steps.
