Group pickup
Meet near Mysore Junction at half past five; the Rail Museum, open since 1979, sits beside the station and is an easy landmark for everyone in the group. Tonight's hotel is in Chitradurga, around 280 km up the road, so the group gets there in good time for a late lunch. Load the water cans, the bags for five days and the medicine kit in the rear before anyone sits down. The driver then takes the NH275 expressway out of the city.

Coffee
The first coffee comes at Maddur, about an hour along. Since the new road runs outside the town, the driver uses the exit. Ask an older local about the river bridge: in the flood of 1897 the railway bridge over the Shimsha gave way, and only in 2014 did two concrete spans take the place of the old steel girders. Fifteen minutes for coffee and vada, one head count, then the mini bus swings north on the state road through Kunigal.

Breakfast
At Tumkur (Tumakuru) the group stops for breakfast. Plate sized thatte idli is the dish to try, since people here say it first came from Kyathsandra village in the same district. Half an hour feeds twenty at a hotel with room for the mini bus in front. From the city the route follows NH48, a broad national highway, past Sira and Hiriyur; the night halt at Chitradurga is a little over two hours away.

Tea
Tea is at Sira, a small highway town with a big past: early in the 1700s it served as the seat of a Mughal province, and parts of its fort still stand in ruins. The driver pulls onto the service road, and twenty people need about fifteen minutes for tea and the restrooms. From here the land turns drier and rockier. Chitradurga is roughly 80 km on, so the group checks in by early afternoon and has the evening free.

Night halt
The group sleeps at Chitradurga. Apart from the fort, the city lists the Murugha Matha among its places to see, a quieter stop for the evening. If the group does the fort, wear firm shoes and carry water, because the climb is on bare rock with steep steps. Choose a hotel with parking for the mini bus. Day two is about 330 km, so set an early wake up call and leave on NH50 soon after dawn.

Breakfast
Second day breakfast is at Kudligi, a small NH50 town about an hour and a half out of Chitradurga. The group gets thirty minutes at a roadside hotel. Tamarind grows everywhere in this taluk, and there is a sloth bear reserve at Gudekote that students might like to note for another trip. After one head count the mini bus carries on past Mariyammanahalli, and Hosapete comes up in about forty five minutes.

Tea
Hosapete, on the Tungabhadra, is the mid morning tea halt. The town runs Vijayanagara district, and the ruins of Hampi lie only 13 km off, a natural extra day on the way home. Trains from Hosapete Junction go towards Hubballi on one side and Guntakal on the other, useful if anyone has to leave early. Buy fruit in the market, give the group fifteen minutes, then head north on NH50 by Kushtagi and Ilkal.

Lunch
Lunch is at Hungund, where the group gets forty minutes. On the way in you pass Ilkal, a weaving town 12 km south known for its saris and for red granite. Amingad, nearby, makes karadantu, a sweet that keeps well on a journey. After lunch NH50 goes on to Basavana Bagewadi, about 45 km, and from there to Vijayapura, so the group checks in at Bijapur by mid afternoon with time to rest.

Group arrival
The second day ends in Bijapur after some thirteen and a half hours at the wheel in all. The mini bus fits the city roads well and can take the group from the hotel to each monument in turn. Sites shut at about 6 pm, so sightseeing starts the next morning. Cover arms and legs at the mosques and tombs. Jowar roti thalis are the local lunch, and Bidri ware, dark metal inlaid with silver, is the craft to buy.
Taking 20 people on a Mysore to Bijapur mini bus for a heritage trip? It costs less to run over 610 km than a big bus and moves easily between the monuments. Ask for mini bus on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

Mysore and Bijapur are roughly 610 km apart by road, so a return trip clocks about 1,220 km. A group in the mini bus breaks the run at Chitradurga after Maddur, Tumkur (Tumakuru) and Sira, then carries on along NH50 through Kudligi, Hosapete and Hungund. Allow some thirteen and a half hours of driving across two days.
Yes, that works. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
Yes. Both are within 100 km of Bijapur. Add a day.
Not included. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. Rate card figure: ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
The 16 seater does the Bijapur trip. Every size is listed on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Not ideal. From March to May the plains and the monument areas in Bijapur are very hot, and a group of twenty moves slowly between sites. October to February is much easier. If summer is the only option, start sightseeing at opening time and rest through the afternoon.
Seat elders at the front, give them the first plates at each meal halt and let them rest at the hotel in Chitradurga. At the monuments the mini bus drops close to the gates. Carry folding stools and water, and let elders skip the climbs while the younger ones go ahead.
