Pickup at your door
Bidar lies about 850 km north, close to 18 to 18.5 hours behind the wheel, so the cab is at your gate in Mysuru at 4:30. Most families prefer to break the journey with a night at Gooty or Kurnool; just tell us when you book. Anyone hoping to fit in the Mysore zoo or Karanji lake first should know both shut on Tuesdays, and the palace opens around 10, so city sights wait for your return. Keep water, snacks, a shawl and medicines in the car.

Drive past
In the dark the cab rolls past Mandya, about 45 km out, its cane fields and jaggery sheds invisible until dawn. A restroom stop on the service road is possible if anyone asks. Farmers' protests over cane prices have blocked this highway on bandh days in the past, so the driver reads the news the evening before such a long trip. On your return in daylight, Mandya's fresh cane juice is worth ten minutes. Breakfast comes at Bidadi.

Breakfast
At Bidadi, about 110 km from home, the cab turns off for an early plate of thatte idli, the wide idli steamed on a round tray, with butter and coffee. The eateries line the old road, reached through the expressway exit, and fifteen minutes is enough for a family. Fill the tank here as well. On the drive back, the expressway toll for this half is collected at Sheshagirihalli, near Bidadi. Next comes the loop round the city towards the airport highway.

Tea halt
NH44, the highway that carries the cab most of the way to Hyderabad, starts for this trip at Devanahalli, about 185 km out. Before the town comes the Sadahalli plaza, the busiest toll in Karnataka, with the airport a few kilometres off. On winter mornings, between roughly 3 and 8:30, fog can lie thick here, and the driver slows right down. A ten minute stop covers tea and the restroom before the long run north through Chikkaballapur and Bagepalli.

Tea halt
Inside Andhra Pradesh, about 295 km from Mysore, Penukonda makes a quick tea halt. The Vijayanagara kings held this town as a fortress after Krishna Deva Raya's time, and its walls run right beside the road. At the Yerramanchi gate, the old main entrance, stands a Hanuman about 11 ft tall, worth a two minute look. Ten minutes covers tea and a restroom. From here on, expect the food to be much spicier than in Karnataka; lunch is planned at Anantapur.

Lunch
Lunch is in Anantapur, about 370 km out, a city on NH44 with many hotels. The dish to try is ragi sangati, a ball of finger millet, with natu kodi, country chicken curry, the classic Rayalaseema meal. Chilli is used heavily, so ask for a milder version if needed. Half an hour is enough. The district gets less rain than any other in Andhra Pradesh. Gooty is about 52 km further, and Kurnool roughly 148 km.

Optional night halt
Gooty, around 420 km from Mysore, is close to the halfway mark, and families who split the trip spend the night here. Its fort crowns a group of hills reaching about 680 m, and Murari Rao's seat, a small pavilion on a 300 m cliff, looks down on the town. At Gooty NH44 meets the highway heading west to Bellary and Guntakal. On a one day run, the cab stops for fifteen minutes of tea and keeps going; Kurnool is about 95 km north.

Tea halt
Kurnool, about 515 km out, stands on the Tungabhadra and served as capital of Andhra State from 1953 to 1956. A twenty minute tea halt here gives the driver a proper rest; lodges near the highway suit families who would rather sleep here than at Gooty. Uggani with mirchi bajji is the local snack. Beyond the city, NH44 crosses the Krishna at Beechupally, in Telangana, where an Anjaneya temple stands by the bridge. Roughly 335 km remain to Bidar.

Drive on
Jadcherla is a highway town in Telangana, about 640 km from Mysore and some 21 km from Mahabubnagar. The cab keeps going, though a restroom halt at a fuel station is easy if needed. Asian Highway 43 and NH167 both pass through the town, and Pillalamarri, a giant old banyan near Mahabubnagar, is a sight to remember for a slower trip. The airport suburb of Shamshabad, where the cab leaves NH44, lies about 60 km ahead.

Dinner and fuel
At Shamshabad, about 700 km out, Hyderabad's airport has operated since March 2008. Here the cab turns off NH44 onto the Outer Ring Road; its Shamshabad to Gachibowli section was the first to open, and it lets the car skip the city's traffic completely. If it is mealtime, Hyderabadi biryani is easy to find, and twenty minutes covers dinner and fuel. The Vendikonda Siddalingeswara temple is in Shamshabad mandal. Bidar is about 150 km away.

Drive on
Sangareddy, about 760 km from Mysore, is a district headquarters on NH65, the road heading towards Zaheerabad and Bidar. The cab drives straight through at this stage of a long day. Old Sangareddy keeps its bazaars and the old district jail, which now houses the Heritage Jail Museum, an unusual stop for an unhurried return. The outer ring road lies about 15 km behind. Around 90 km remain, the last stretch before your rest.

Drop at your stay
The cab brings you to your hotel or home in Bidar and waits for your return date. The craft to look for is Bidriware, darkened metal inlaid with silver, protected by a GI tag; the shops near the fort sell it. October to February is the pleasant season here, while March to June is very hot. Many monuments close by early evening, so save sightseeing for the next morning. For flights home, Hyderabad airport is about 120 to 140 km away.

Bidar is about 850 km from Mysore by road, about 1,700 km for a return.

Driving time is about 18 to 18.5 hours; most families split it with a night at Gooty or Kurnool.

The Innova Crysta. Each size and rate is on cab rental in Mysore.
October to February. Bidar is very hot from March to June, and much of the drive crosses the dry Rayalaseema country, which is hard going in summer afternoons. In the cool months the long highway days are far more comfortable, and sightseeing in Bidar is pleasant, since many monuments close by early evening.
It is about 18 to 18.5 hours of driving, which is too long for most families. We suggest a night at Gooty or Kurnool, so nobody drives tired at night. If you must do it in one day, we start at 4:30 am, take regular breaks, and the driver rests during every meal halt.
