Pickup at your door
The Urbania collects you from your door or a hotel near the palace at about 7, for groups of eight to sixteen. The trip to Bhagamandala is about three hours with halts, so an early start leaves the afternoon free. Out of the city the road is four lane NH275 up to Bilikere, then the Hunsur road into Kodagu. Carry light jackets; the hills are cooler than Mysore, which itself sits at about 770 m.

Breakfast
The Urbania pauses at Hunsur, 45 km along, for breakfast and a stretch. Low priced, unfussy hotels here turn out plates for a group quickly, and elders can sit while the rest wander. Hunsur is on the Lakshmana Tirtha. Someone usually asks about Tibetan monks seen on this road: Rabgayling, a smaller settlement founded in 1971, is at Gurupura, about 12 km away, while the large camps at Bylakuppe come later on our route. Bhagamandala is still about 110 km ahead.

Drive on
Periyapatna, about 75 km from Mysore, is a drive through for the Urbania, the last town before Kodagu. SH 21 branches from here to Anechowkur on the northern edge of Nagarhole, a separate trip. Bylakuppe and its Golden Temple fall within this taluk, and since the temple stays open till about 6 pm, it fits nicely on the drive home after Bhagamandala. Kushalnagar is about 15 km ahead, and the road starts to turn greener.

Drive on
The Urbania goes through Kushalnagar, about 90 km out, without stopping, to keep time for the temple. The town has no railway, and its bus station gets busy at night, but in the morning the slow part is the road widening on NH275. Shops sell chocolates made in local homes, which makes a halt worth it on the way back. The Kaveri here is fed by Harangi dam in Somwarpet taluk. Madikeri is about 30 km on, up a steady climb.

Lunch
Madikeri is the lunch halt for the Urbania, about 120 km from Mysore. The district town sits at about 1,170 m and was the old Mercara. Kodava dishes such as noolputtu, the rice noodles, and pandi curry are on most menus. Honey from the bee keepers' cooperative near the post office is a good buy. Talakaveri is about 48 km and Bhagamandala 33 to 39 km from here, on the same hill road.

Temple town drop
The Urbania reaches Bhagamandala about 3.5 to 4 hours from Mysore. The town is at about 898 m, and in 2018 it took about 5,585 mm of rain, more than most of Kodagu, so the air feels damp even in dry months. Pilgrims usually bathe here first and then go up to Talakaveri, 8 km above. The temple's free vegetarian lunch is rice, sambar and buttermilk. The Urbania waits at the town parking while the group visits, and elders can rest inside it.

Bhagamandala is the wettest station in Kodagu most years, often over 4,500 mm of rain. July and August are the hardest months, with flooding at the sangama in heavy spells. October after the festival, and the dry months from November to March, are the easiest for a group with elders.
The temple town is compact, and the Urbania parks close. Elders who find steps hard can see the temple and the river bank without much walking. The free lunch at the temple is simple and served at set times, so plan the visit around midday. Carry a shawl; the hills are cooler than Mysore.
