Group pickup
At 6 the tempo traveller collects the group from one address in Mysuru for a two day run to Bidar, roughly 850 km, sleeping at Gooty on the way. People visiting relatives up north often carry Mysore pak, silk sarees or sandalwood as gifts, so do that shopping the day before. Each person keeps a small overnight bag at the seat, and the suitcases go into the luggage space behind the last row, untouched until Bidar. Breakfast is planned at Bidadi.

Drive past
About 45 km into the trip the van passes Mandya, still sleepy at this hour. Cane is king here; the town's first sugar mill opened in 1933, and the district's villages turn cane into jaggery in small sheds. The van stops only if somebody needs a restroom. Melukote, the temple town on its hill about 25 km off, is a separate pilgrimage for another time. The next planned halt, breakfast, is roughly an hour and a half ahead.

Breakfast
Breakfast is at Bidadi, about 110 km out. Long before the six lane expressway existed, everybody driving the Mysore road stopped in this town to eat, and the thatte idli joints on the old road still do brisk trade. The van leaves at the exit, parks off the carriageway, and twenty minutes is fair for fifteen people with a restroom break. Bidadi is also home to a Meher Baba spiritual centre. The city loop follows, so settle in.

Tea halt
When the loop round the city ends, the tempo traveller joins NH44 near Devanahalli, about 185 km from Mysore. A newer ring road runs from here to Doddaballapur and Hoskote, and its Nallur toll has no booth at all; cameras read each number plate. Within the old fort, the Venugopala Swamy temple carries Ramayana and Krishna scenes on its walls. Ten minutes of tea and stretching helps before the highway heads north into Andhra Pradesh.

Lunch
Lunch for the group is at Penukonda, about 295 km out. Expect Andhra meals with fiery pickles and plenty of rice, and ask the cook to go easy on chilli for children. Jain history runs deep in this town; the Pache Parsvanath temple has an idol of Parsvanath carved from a single block of green stone. Children usually like the huge sculpture of the sleeping Kumbhakarna, with demons trying to wake him. Half an hour covers the meal.

Tea halt
Anantapur, about 370 km out, is a city on NH44 where the group takes a fifteen minute tea break. Daily cooking here is built on millets, jowar, bajra and ragi, and the favourite snack is uggani, a puffed rice upma, served with mirchi bajji. Rain is scarce in this district, the driest in the state, so refill water bottles before going on. Gooty, where the group sleeps tonight, is roughly 52 km further north.

Night halt
Gooty, roughly 420 km from Mysore, is the night stop, about halfway to Bidar. The town lies at about 345 m beneath a fort perched on a cluster of hills. A Maratha general, Murari Rao, held that fort until Hyder Ali captured it in 1775, after the defenders ran out of water. The tempo traveller parks at the lodge, and the driver sleeps a full night. Day two begins early, with breakfast planned at Kurnool.

Breakfast
On day two the group eats breakfast at Kurnool, about 515 km from Mysore and some 95 km beyond Gooty. People call the city the gateway of Rayalaseema, and its breakfast of choice is uggani with mirchi bajji. Thirty minutes is enough. Konda Reddy Fort, Kurnool's best known monument, stands in the north east of town. Soon after the city, NH44 crosses the Krishna at Beechupally and enters Telangana. Count heads before boarding.

Tea halt
Jadcherla, at around 640 km, gives the group a tea break in Telangana. The town lies on NH44 about 86 km short of Hyderabad and only became a census town in 2011; today it is a municipality in Mahbubnagar district. Fifteen minutes covers tea and the restroom. Shamshabad, where the van leaves NH44 for the ring road, is roughly 60 km ahead. Pillalamarri, a huge old banyan near Mahabubnagar, is a sight for a slower trip.

Lunch
Lunch on day two is at Shamshabad, about 700 km out, the suburb around Hyderabad's airport. Hyderabadi biryani is on nearly every menu along the highway here, and half an hour covers the meal and fuel. Afterwards the tempo traveller switches to the Outer Ring Road, which keeps the group well clear of the city's traffic, and swings north west to pick up NH65 towards Sangareddy. Restrooms and diesel are at the same halt.

Drive on
Sangareddy, about 760 km from Mysore, is a district town on NH65, and the van drives through without stopping. If one member must leave early, Zahirabad railway station lies about 55 km further along this road. The old part of Sangareddy has bazaars and a jail turned into the Heritage Jail Museum, for a slower return. About 90 km remain to Bidar. Hyderabad airport is about 70 km behind, and the outer ring road about 15 km.

Drop at your stay
In Bidar the tempo traveller drops the group at the hotel or home and parks nearby. The local craft, Bidriware, is metal blackened with soil from the old fort and inlaid with silver; it has carried a GI tag since 2006. From March to June the town is very hot, and October to February is the comfortable season. Monuments here tend to close by early evening, so plan visits for the next morning.

Bidar is close to 850 km from Mysore, which makes roughly 1,700 km if the van brings you back. Seventeen hours of driving is too much for one day in a group van, so the plan splits it at Gooty, the night stop. The road is NH44 up to Shamshabad, the ring road round Hyderabad, then NH65 to Bidar.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. You see it in the quote first. ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night is the tempo traveller rate.
Not included. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
The 9 seater is enough, or the 12 seater with lots of bags. The full size list is on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Sure. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
We do not recommend it. It is about 18 to 18.5 hours of driving; a night halt keeps the family and the driver safe.
Near the airport at Shamshabad the van turns off NH44 onto Hyderabad's Outer Ring Road, so the group never sees the city's jams. A short way round, it picks up NH65 by Sangareddy and runs north west to Bidar. The ring road charges a toll, billed to you at the actual amount.
Yes. Suitcases ride behind the last row and stay there until Bidar, while each traveller carries just a small bag for the night at Gooty. Let us know how many suitcases are coming when you book, and we send a van with enough room.
