Family pickup
The van picks up the family of nine to twenty at 5:30, from your home, a hotel or the railway station, and loads big bags at the back. Dasara, which falls in September or October, brings police diversions on every exit from the city, so in that season we start a little earlier. The route uses the expressway as far as Srirangapatna and then turns at Pandavapura for KR Pet and the road north west. Banavasi is about seven and a half hours away.
Tea
The first break comes at Channarayapatna, 90 km out, where the van halts fifteen minutes for tea and washrooms. The town stands at roughly 845 m, so mornings are cool. Its name comes from the Chennigaraya temple, and the taluk grows coconut and sugarcane. Children can stretch their legs while the driver checks the van. Arsikere, for breakfast, is about 55 km ahead. Hand out the first round of snacks here, since breakfast is still an hour away.
Breakfast and fuel
Breakfast for the family is at Arsikere, 145 km from Mysore, while the van takes fuel. The junction here sees more than 120 trains a day, so children may see one pass. Haranahalli, about 8 km south, keeps the remains of an old fort, a story for another day. Allow half an hour. After Arsikere, NH69 runs about 85 km through dry farmland to Bhadravathi. The van's water cans are refilled here before the long open leg.
Tea
At Bhadravathi, 230 km out, the van stops fifteen minutes for tea. Children will notice the tall chimneys of the steel plant, today Visvesvaraya Iron and Steel, and the paper mill. The town's old temple has three shrines, to Lakshmi Narasimha, Venugopala and Purushottama. Shivamogga is 20 km on, and lunch is planned there. A light snack is enough here; the family will eat properly at Shivamogga, a short drive ahead. Use the washrooms before the van moves.
Lunch
The van reaches Shivamogga, the Shimoga of old signboards, after 250 km, in time for lunch. The city is the gateway to the Malnad hills and a large areca nut market. Most rain falls here from June to early October. Forty minutes lets the family eat and rest. From here, NH69 leads about 75 km to Sagar, and Banavasi is about 120 km away. Children can nap on the next leg, since the road to Sagar is smooth.
Tea
Sagar, 325 km from Mysore, is the afternoon tea halt. The town stands at about 579 m on the Varada river. Ganapathi lake in the centre has a temple and a mosque side by side, a nice sight for children. Malnad food, akki rotti and kadubu, is served in local eating places. Fifteen minutes, then the van heads north to Sorab and Banavasi. Buy fruit here if the children are hungry, as Banavasi has few shops.
Tea
Sorab, 350 km out, is a small taluk town with tea stalls, washrooms and fuel pumps on the main road. The van stops fifteen minutes so everyone is fresh for the temple. The Chandragutti hill temple is about 15 km off the road, a trip for another day. Banavasi is only 20 km on through farmland and areca gardens. Ask everyone to carry their temple clothes in a small bag, ready for the visit, and to keep shoes they can slip off easily.
Arrival
The tempo traveller reaches Banavasi about seven and a half hours after Mysore and stops near the temple. Banavasi is a quiet village, and the lanes near the temple are narrow, so the van parks a little away. Malnad meals are served at small eating places in the village. Most families stay the night at Sirsi, about 24 km away, where hotels are easier to find. The driver stays with the van and is ready when the family returns.

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. 👍

About 370 km one way, so roughly 740 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller goes via Channarayapatna, Arsikere, Bhadravathi and Shivamogga (Shimoga), then Sagar and Sorab. It takes about 7.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and four short tea halts, so a 5:30 am start reaches Banavasi in the afternoon.
A late return after 10 pm adds a night bata for the driver. We put the amount on the quote. The night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Sure. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
No, they are separate. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
Near your hotel. Most hotels have drivers' rooms; the allowance covers it.
The 16 seater, with room for luggage. Every size is listed on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
October to March is the cool, clear season in this part of Karnataka. The monsoon from June to early October brings heavy rain and slower roads after Shivamogga. Summer is warm in the afternoons, so in April and May plan temple visits in the morning or evening.
One medium bag each fits at the back of the van. Pack light cotton clothes, a set of modest clothes for the temple, umbrellas in the rainy months and a small bag of snacks and medicines for the seat. Water bottles should stay within reach.
