Pickup
Expect the Urbania at 6:00 am at your door or a meeting point anywhere in Mysuru. Guests visiting from other states often ask about the city's other royal buildings; the Jaganmohan and Lalitha Mahal palaces fill an easy evening once you are back from the temples. Pack one bag each for the rear space, since many families stay a night near Belur or Chikmagalur. Our route leaves on the Hunsur highway, turns at Bilikere and runs north on SH57.

Breakfast
Breakfast falls at KR Nagar, roughly 40 km into the trip. The Urbania waits on the main road beside eateries that open near seven. If the date happens to be Rathasaptami, in January or February, the Arkeshwara temple at Hale Yedatore, about 4 km from town on the Kaveri bank, pulls its temple car, a colourful sight for a temple loving group. Allow twenty five minutes for the meal, then on to Holenarasipura, about 40 km.

Drive through
The Urbania passes through Holenarasipura, close to 80 km from Mysore, without halting. Past Hassan, about 35 km further, the roads divide: NH75 continues west towards Sakleshpur, roughly 40 km, while the other road turns north west for Belur, which is our way. The Hemavathi runs beside the town, and coconut and paddy fill the fields. Grandparents can doze; the next halt is a tea stop in Hassan. Nobody needs to get down here.

Tea halt
Hassan, around 115 km from Mysore, is a fifteen minute tea halt. Nature lovers might want to remember Gendekatte biodiversity park, about 6 km from the city, for a future visit. Older members can stay in the cool cabin while others buy tea and use the washroom. After Hassan the Urbania leaves NH75 for SH21; Halebidu is roughly 30 km away, and Belur lies about 16 km past it. Fill water bottles too.

Temple stop
Halebidu, the Halebeedu of many signboards, is about 145 km out, and the Urbania parks close to the temple park. An hour here is right for a family group. The town was the Hoysala capital, laid out round the Dorasamudra lake. A museum sits in the park beside the main temple, and the Kedareshwara temple is a short walk away. Every March the Hoysala Mahotsava is held here and at Belur. Belur is about 16 km on.

Belur arrival
The Urbania reaches Belur after about three hours of driving with halts, and the driver parks close to the temple so elders walk less. Footwear stays at the stand outside, and entry to the main temple is free. Belur, at about 979 m, is cooler than Mysore. The Amrutheshwara ruins lie about 800 m south of the main temple. For lunch, small hotels near the temple serve Malnad meals. Chikmagalur is about 25 km on.

Yes. SH57 and the Hassan to Halebidu road are plain and stay open in the rains. Hassan district gets heavy rain from June to September, so carry umbrellas for the temple walks. The Urbania keeps a slower pace in heavy showers. October to March gives the best weather for the temples.
Yes. The Urbania's rear luggage space takes one medium bag per person. Keep a small bag with water, caps and socks at the seat, since shoes stay outside the temples and the stone gets hot. If you stay at Chikmagalur, about 25 km on, the hill night is cool, so pack a light jacket.
