Pickup
The Urbania arrives at 6 at your home, a hotel or Mysore Junction for the two day journey to Bidar, about 850 km, with a night at Gooty. Guests from north India will find that Kannada is the main language along the Karnataka stretch, and Hindi is not common away from tourist spots, so the driver takes care of directions and orders at halts. Elders should keep medicines and an overnight bag at their seats.

Drive past
Mandya slides past around 45 km out in the early light. Elders who need the restroom can stop on the service road that runs beside the expressway on both sides. October is the wettest month in Mandya, so in that season the road may be wet before sunrise and the driver eases off. The town is the headquarters of its district, ringed by cane. Breakfast is about an hour away at Bidadi.

Breakfast
Elders enjoy breakfast at Bidadi, about 110 km from Mysore, where the town's thatte idli is soft, wide and easy to eat. The Urbania leaves the expressway by the exit and parks right beside the eatery, and twenty minutes allows an unhurried meal. Bidadi is linked to the city by trains and buses, should anyone need them. The long loop round the city comes next, so this is the moment for a restroom break.

Tea halt
Coming off the city loop, the Urbania meets NH44 at Devanahalli, about 185 km out. Airport traffic is constant here, more so since the second terminal opened in November 2022. The Devanahalli plaza, collecting toll on NH44 since 2011, is the first on this side. A ten minute tea stop lets elders stretch before the long straight run north towards Chikkaballapur, Bagepalli and the Andhra border. Elders can stay seated if they prefer.

Lunch
At Penukonda, about 295 km from Mysore, the group stops for lunch; Rayalaseema cooking is very hot, so ask for milder dishes for elders. The town has two sights worth a glance from the van. Gagan Mahal, built in 1575 as a summer palace, blends Hindu and Muslim styles, and the Babayya Dargah, tomb of the 12th century Sufi saint Baba Fakhruddin, is honoured by Hindus and Muslims alike. Half an hour covers lunch.

Tea halt
Drivers find their way around Anantapur, about 370 km out, by its Clock Tower and Sapthagiri Circle, and the Sports Village sits beside the highway as you come in. The Urbania stops fifteen minutes so elders can have tea and use the restroom. Fields across the district grow groundnut, sunflower and cotton, and silk is important too. Tonight's halt at Gooty is about 52 km further on NH44. Water bottles can be refilled here.

Night halt
Gooty, about 420 km from Mysore, is where elders rest after the first day. The town sits at about 345 m, and NH44 meets the highway west to Bellary, Guntakal and Adoni here, so lodges near the junction are easy to reach. The hill fort above town is a protected monument. The Urbania parks at the lodge and the driver sleeps there too. Day two starts early, with breakfast in Kurnool.

Breakfast
Breakfast on day two is in Kurnool, about 515 km out. Elders who find uggani and mirchi bajji too spicy can ask for idli. Kurnool's airport is out at Orvakal on NH40, and the Orvakal rock garden, a park of odd shaped boulders, lies about 25 km from the city, a sight for a slower trip. Thirty minutes covers breakfast. Not far north, NH44 crosses the Krishna into Telangana. Ask for idli if elders want something mild.

Tea halt
Jadcherla, about 640 km from Mysore, makes a tea halt in Telangana, some 130 km after Kurnool on NH44. The town keeps a 12th century Chennakeshava temple, a quiet place for elders if there is time. Fifteen minutes covers tea and the restroom. Pillalamarri, an enormous old banyan near Mahabubnagar, lies about 21 km away, best saved for another journey. Shamshabad is about 60 km on. Asian Highway 43 and NH167 pass through the town.

Lunch
Shamshabad, a suburb at about 574 m on the south west edge of Hyderabad, is lunch on day two, about 700 km from Mysore. Highway restaurants serve biryani and plain meals, so elders have a choice. Half an hour covers lunch and fuel. The airport here opened in March 2008. From Shamshabad the Urbania takes the Outer Ring Road around the city and heads for NH65. Restrooms are clean at the larger highway restaurants.

Drive on
North west of Hyderabad, Sangareddy is a district headquarters on NH65, about 760 km from Mysore, and the Urbania drives through. Hyderabad airport lies about 70 km behind. Old Sangareddy's bazaars and its Heritage Jail Museum, set in the former district jail, could fill an hour on a relaxed return. Bidar is about 90 km on, by the Zaheerabad side. The road onward is NH65 towards Zaheerabad, and elders can doze through this stretch.

Drop at your stay
The Urbania stops at your hotel or home in Bidar. If anyone flies home, Hyderabad airport is about 120 to 140 km away, and the Urbania can do that drop too. Bidriware, black metal work with silver inlay, is the souvenir to buy, from shops near the fort. Elders should prefer October to February, because March to June is very hot. Many monuments shut by early evening. The driver helps unload bags at the door.
Need a Mysore to Bidar Force Urbania for 8 to 16 people, maybe elders going to the gurudwara? It is the most comfortable van for this long two day drive. Force Urbania on rent in Mysore, with a driver, is arranged by Tejas Tours & Travels.

Sometimes near the start. From about mid November to mid February, fog can sit around Devanahalli and the airport until about 8:30 in the morning, and the driver slows down. Evening rain around the city in September and October can also slow the loop to NH44. North of Devanahalli the drive is mostly dry.
At a lodge in Gooty, roughly halfway, about 420 km from Mysore. The Urbania reaches it by late afternoon or evening, so elders get a full night's rest before day two. We can book the lodge for you if you like. The driver rests at the same place and starts again early.
