Pickup at your door
The Urbania picks the group up at 5:30 am from the gate, since the van is too tall for most basements. Bhadrachalam is about 1,015 km away; the first night is at Kurnool, about 505 km from here. When planning the day you come back, remember that the Mysore zoo and Karanji lake shut on Tuesdays, if anyone wants a visit after the trip. Suitcases go in the rear, night bags in the cabin.

Snack halt
Maddur, 65 km from Mysore, sits at about 662 m on the Shimsha river. SH 33 meets the highway here and runs south to Malavalli, Shivanasamudra and Kollegal. The Urbania stops fifteen minutes on the old road for vada and a tender coconut, which the town ships out by the truckload. Bangalore is about 80 km ahead, and breakfast is just past it. If the group wants to pack something for the road, the vada keeps well for a few hours.

Breakfast past the city
West Bangalore pickups can reach the expressway in about 20 minutes on the new MAR corridor, and the Urbania uses the same links going north, about 145 km from Mysore. In winter, fog near Devanahalli between about 3 and 8:30 am can slow NH44, so the driver keeps it gentle until it lifts. Breakfast is at a highway hotel past Devanahalli, twenty five minutes. Bhadrachalam is about 870 km on.

Tea
Penukonda, about 280 km from Mysore, holds the Gagan Mahal, a summer palace built in 1575 in a mix of Hindu and Muslim styles, and an 11 ft Hanuman stands at the Yerramanchi gate of the fort. The Urbania halts fifteen minutes for tea at a dhaba near the bypass, where the van can park clear of the traffic. If the group is ahead of time, the gate is close enough for a short darshan. Anantapur, the lunch stop, is about 75 km ahead.

Lunch
The Urbania group lunches at Anantapur, about 355 km into the drive. Millets like jowar, bajra and ragi are the local staples, and the cooking is very hot, so ask for less chilli for children and elders. From Anantapur a road runs east to Renigunta and Chennai, but this trip keeps to NH44 north. Allow forty minutes, with water refills, because the afternoon on this dry plateau is hot. Gooty is next, then Kurnool for the night.

Tea
Gooty, about 405 km from Mysore, sits at about 345 m under its hill fort, a centrally protected monument that rises to about 680 m. Tadipatri, with its Vijayanagara temples, is about 52 km east, for a longer trip in this region. The Urbania takes fifteen minutes for tea at a roadside hotel past the busy junction with the Bellary road. Kurnool, tonight's halt, is about 100 km on, so the group arrives with time for dinner and rest.

Night halt
Book the Urbania's night in Kurnool, after about 505 km, at a hotel with front parking. The Jagannatha Gattu temple and the Konda Reddy fort are in the city, short evening outings if the group has energy left after the drive. Settle the morning start time with the driver before dinner, because the second day runs about 510 km to Bhadrachalam. Keep the big bags packed and use only the night bag here.

Breakfast
Jadcherla, about 630 km from Mysore, is now a municipality on NH44, upgraded from a census town in 2011. The Urbania stops for breakfast on day two, twenty five minutes at a highway hotel, about two and a half hours after leaving Kurnool. Hyderabad is about 86 km on, but the van will pass round it on the Outer Ring Road. Use the restroom here, because the ring road allows stops only at service areas and exits.

Ring road
The Urbania joins the Outer Ring Road about 690 km from Mysore. This eight lane ring around Hyderabad runs about 158 km, and the van uses its southern and eastern side to move from NH44 to NH65 without entering the city. Stopping is allowed only at service areas and exits. Suryapet, the lunch stop, is about 150 km beyond the ring road. Traffic is lighter on the ring road in the late morning.

Lunch
For the Urbania group, lunch on day two is in Suryapet, after about 840 km. The town is on NH65, the Hyderabad to Vijayawada highway, and from here NH365BB heads east to Khammam and Rajahmundry. Suryapet's modern bus station is among the biggest in Telangana, and hotels near it serve quick meals. Forty minutes for lunch. The road ahead is narrower and passes farm country, so the last part of the day goes slower.

Tea
A hill fort begun in 950 CE under the Kakatiyas watches over Khammam, and the Stambhadri Narasimha temple gave the city its name. The Urbania reaches it after about 900 km. As Telangana's fourth largest city, sitting low at about 108 m, it can be very hot in the afternoon, so take fifteen minutes for tea and cold drinks. The driver phones the Bhadrachalam hotel from here, about 21.5 to 22 hours out.

Hotel drop
After about 21.5 to 22 hours at the wheel over two days, the Urbania rolls into Bhadrachalam as the evening sets in. The town lies low on the Godavari, at about 50 m, so it stays warm after dark for much of the year. The driver drops the group at the hotel or choultry and parks for the stay. Sri Rama Navami draws the biggest crowds of the year, so book rooms early for that date. Rest tonight and plan darshan for the morning.

The Urbania goes by the expressway to Maddur, round Bangalore, up NH44 via Penukonda, Anantapur, Gooty, Kurnool and Jadcherla, round Hyderabad on the Outer Ring Road, then via Suryapet and Khammam. Allow about 21.5 to 22 hours of driving with stops, over two days.
No. The ₹40/km covers fuel, driver and AC; parking, tolls and GST are separate. Also extra: the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana entry permits.
It can be done. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
Bhadrachalam: the 12 seater, with room for luggage. See the sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
If the return runs late at night, the driver gets a night allowance. It is shown in the quote. For the Urbania: ₹700 a night.
We arrange it from owners we work with, with their driver, at our rate and under our booking.
Sri Rama Navami, the Kalyanam festival, draws huge crowds every year, and rooms fill early. On those days the roads into town slow down and the Urbania may need to park further out. If your dates are flexible, a normal weekday outside the festival is far easier for a group.
Yes. The Urbania has a luggage space behind the last row for one suitcase each for most groups. Keep a small night bag for Kurnool in the cabin, so the big bags stay packed. Tell us at booking if you carry large puja items or a cooler, so we plan the space.
