Pickup
The Urbania collects the group from one address in Mysuru at 6:30. Guests from outside Karnataka should note that Kannada is the language on the road, and Hindi is less common outside the tourist spots; the driver handles directions and tickets if needed. The van has a high roof and wide door, easy for elders. Bannerghatta is about 165 km away, around three and a half hours. The van takes the expressway north; Srirangapatna, 15 km out, is the first town.
Drive past
Srirangapatna, the island town 15 km from Mysore, passes on the right. Sangama, where the two branches of the Kaveri rejoin, has coracle rides and stalls selling spiced cut fruit. Elders who like rivers might enjoy it on a quieter day trip. Today the Urbania keeps to the expressway and the driver pays the toll at Gananguru. The ride is smooth, so this is the time to settle in. Mandya is 30 km on.
Optional stop
Mandya, about 45 km out, is a sugar town, with fresh cane juice at stalls along the road. Elders may prefer coffee; both are quick. Ten minutes is enough. Melukote, the hill temple town about 25 km from here, and the KRS dam, built in 1932, are both in this district, but they belong to another trip. In October, the wettest month here, keep umbrellas in the Urbania. Ramanagara, the breakfast halt, is 50 km ahead.
Breakfast
Ramanagara, about 95 km out, is the breakfast halt. A highway hotel with parking keeps it to twenty minutes. The town is called Silk Town; its cocoon market handles some 25 to 30 tonnes a day in a normal season, with an auction early in the morning. The hills are the Sholay hills. Ramadevara Betta has a few hundred stone steps, too many for most elders, so the Urbania drives on. Kengeri is about 35 km ahead.
Ring road
Kengeri is the western edge of the city, where the expressway comes down. The Urbania takes NICE Road here, paying a toll, and skirts the south of the city instead of crawling through the centre. That keeps the trip smooth for elders, with no city signals. The Kengeri area was a silk centre in Tipu Sultan's time, and the first steam silk filature of the region was set up here. The turn for Bannerghatta Road comes in about thirty minutes.
Gate drop
The Urbania drops the group at the park gate, close to the ticket counter, and then waits in the lot. The safari is a seated bus ride of about an hour, fine for elders; buy tickets at the counter and check the day's timings. There is a canteen near the gate. Wheelchair users should ask at the counter. The park is closed on Tuesdays. When the group is ready, the driver brings the van back to the gate.
Is a Mysore to Bannerghatta National Park Force Urbania right for a family day with grandparents? Its reclining seats and high roof make the expressway drive easy, and the van waits at the gate. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore. Pickup is from your Mysuru home, a hotel or the railway station.

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.

About 165 km by road, so about 330 km for a return the same day. The Urbania goes up the expressway past Srirangapatna, Mandya and Ramanagara, then round the south of the city on NICE Road. Plan about 3.5 hours with a breakfast halt.
No. Tolls, parking and GST are added at cost. One day, 330 km at ₹40/km is ₹13,900 for any size, with ₹700 driver bata.
Yes. The safari is a seated bus ride of about an hour.
The 10 seater, or 12 for extra room. All sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. It is ₹700 a night for the Urbania.
On request, yes. One way runs ₹2 per km over the return rate; the quote shows the km.
From Kengeri, where the expressway ends, the Urbania takes NICE Road, a tolled ring road round the south west of the city, to the Bannerghatta Road exit. It avoids the Nayandahalli jam and the city signals. The toll is paid at cost. It is a smooth ride, which helps elders on a long day.
Yes. Once the Urbania is back on the expressway at Kengeri the road is wide, with no two wheelers or autos on the main carriageway. Leaving the park by about 4 pm avoids the worst city traffic on NICE Road. The group can stop for dinner at Maddur or Ramanagara and reach Mysore by about 8 or 9.
