Pickup at your door
Around half past four the Urbania collects the group from a hotel, a home or Mysore Junction. If the group is in town on a Sunday or a public holiday before the trip, the palace lights come on at 7 pm for under an hour. Leaving the city past Srirangapatna, the van turns off for Pandavapura and Nagamangala and then picks up NH150A north. Badami lies about 500 km away, around ten hours with halts, so the long day starts in the dark.
Tea stop
Nagamangala gives the group fifteen minutes for tea, about 65 km into the trip. The town sits where NH150A and SH85 meet. Most groups from Mysore turn at Bellur Cross, about 17 to 19 km north, for the Mangalore highway, but our Urbania stays on NH150A towards Huliyar. Adichunchanagiri, with its peacock sanctuary, is about 20 km off. Behind us, Pandavapura is about 39 to 40 km back. The next stretch is long and quiet.
Breakfast and fuel
The Urbania pulls into Huliyar after about 165 km for breakfast and fuel, twenty five minutes. The town lies in Chiknayakanhalli taluk, about 42 km from Tiptur, where three highways cross. Banks and government offices are here, useful for cash or an ATM. Nagamangala is now about 100 km behind on NH150A. Hiriyur, where the national highway starts, is about 40 km ahead through dry farmland. The driver checks tyres before the hot afternoon run.
Lunch
Lunch for the group is at Hiriyur, around 205 km out, in about forty minutes. Two odd sights lie near the town for another trip, the pillow lava rocks at Mardihalli, a National Geological Monument, and the Yeppattu Kannina Setuve, a bridge whose seventy arches look like eyes. Winter nights here drop to about 18 C, but the days are warm in every season. The Urbania rejoins NH48 for Chitradurga, about 40 km on.
Fort halt
Chitradurga is an optional halt for the group at around 245 km. The city stands at about 732 m, and its fort hills rise to about 976 m, ringed by wind farms. The Nayakas held the fort until Hyder Ali took it in 1779. If the group stops, the van parks right by Gate 3, where there are basic toilets and drinking water. Afterwards the Urbania leaves NH48 for NH50, towards Kudligi and Hosapete.
Tea stop
Fifteen minutes at Hosapete, about 375 km out, for tea and fuel. Beside the town stands the Tungabhadra dam, also called Pampa Sagar, built with surki mortar from 1949 and the largest stone masonry dam in India. The Jindal Vijaynagar airport at Toranagallu is about 30 km away, useful if anyone must fly home. October to March is the season here. Badami is about 125 km on via Kushtagi. Fill water bottles here.
Arrival
The Urbania reaches Badami after about ten hours and drops the group at its hotel. The town is known for four cave temples cut into the red sandstone cliffs, and it is also the base for Pattadakal and Aihole. KSTDC Mayura Chalukya is the common choice of stay. Badami railway station lies about 17 km from Pattadakal. Heat is strong outside the October to March season, so plan walks for early morning.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

By road Badami is about 500 km from Mysore, so the round trip is about 1,000 km. The Urbania goes via Nagamangala, Huliyar, Hiriyur, Chitradurga and Hosapete. Allow about 10.5 to 11 hours including halts, and three or four days for the whole trip.
Yes. It is around 35 km beyond Badami Aihole Pattadakal on this route. Keep 1.5 to 2 hours. Extra km over the billed km are charged at the same rate.
For Badami Aihole Pattadakal, 500 km each way, tolls, parking fees, permits and GST are billed at actuals.
Yes, Badami Aihole Pattadakal one way on request; it runs ₹2 a km over a return, as a written quote.
A drive beyond 10 pm adds the driver's night bata; it shows in the quote.
The 12 seater, leaving seats for all and space for bags. The full size list is on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
October to February or March is best. The heat is lower and walking around the caves and temples is comfortable. April and May are very hot in this region. The monsoon is light in the Chitradurga and Hosapete belt, but the humidity makes long walks tiring.
We prefer daylight driving. The return is about ten hours, and the stretch on NH150A from Hiriyur to Nagamangala has village traffic and is better in daylight. Leave Badami early in the morning to reach Mysore by night, or break the drive at Chitradurga.
