Morning pickup
The tempo traveller is at your gate at six. Day one ends at Chitradurga, about 280 km away, so the family can start after a cup of tea. For the road, pick up a packet of Mysore bonda, the round gram flour snack eaten with sambar and coconut chutney at tea time, the evening before. Suitcases for four or five days go in the rear. The van leaves on the expressway towards Maddur.

Snack and road change
Maddur is reached in about an hour. The van leaves the expressway here, stops fifteen minutes for coffee and vada, and then takes State Highway 33 north. The same highway also runs south from Maddur to Malavalli, Shivanasamudra and Kollegal, so check that the driver is heading for Kunigal and Tumakuru. Malavalli, the other way, is about 24 km off. The children can stretch their legs by the roadside stalls.

Breakfast
The family breakfasts at Tumkur (Tumakuru), about 150 km from Mysore. Half an hour at a highway hotel. If someone in the group wants a hill temple on the return, Devarayanadurga, with its Narasimha temples on a forested hill, is about 15 km from the city. After breakfast the tempo traveller takes NH48, the national highway towards Chitradurga, and the run to the night halt is about 130 km. Fill the water cans before leaving.

Tea
Sira, at about 662 m, is the tea stop on NH48. The family gets fifteen minutes for tea and restrooms at a highway hotel. Hiriyur is the next town, 35 to 40 km away, and then Chitradurga. Fill the water bottles here from the cans in the van. The landscape turns drier from here, with fewer trees and more rock, a sign that you are heading into north Karnataka. One more stretch, and the day's driving is done.

Night at Chitradurga
Chitradurga is the overnight stop, about 280 km from Mysore. You arrive by early afternoon, so there is time for a short outing. Chandravalli caves, where Iron Age finds were made, are about 3 km from the fort area, and children enjoy them. The fort itself is large and rocky; leave it for a cooler morning if the afternoon is hot. Dinner and an early night, because day two is about 330 km.

Breakfast
Kudligi, about 80 km into the second day, is where the family eats breakfast. Thirty minutes. The road from Chitradurga has crossed the dry country of Jagalur taluk. Kudligi taluk has a sloth bear sanctuary at Gudekote and is known for tamarind. Around Ugadi, the Kottala Anjaneya festival fills the town. Hosapete is about 45 km on, past Mariyammanahalli. Children can stretch their legs while the driver checks the tyres, and the family refills the water bottles from the cans.

Tea
Hosapete is the mid morning tea stop. Hampi's monuments, a UNESCO site since 1986, are 13 km from Hosapete Junction, so if the family has a spare day on the way home, this is where to add it. Buy fruit and water at the market here. From Hosapete the tempo traveller continues north on NH50 through Kushtagi and Ilkal; Bijapur is still about 195 km away. The van waits in the shade while everyone shops.

Lunch
Lunch on day two is at Hungund. Forty minutes for the family. The van has just passed Ilkal, 12 km to the south, where the famous Ilkal saris are woven and red granite is quarried. From Hungund NH50 goes on to Basavana Bagewadi, about 45 km, and then Vijayapura. About 85 km remain, so the family reaches Bijapur by mid afternoon. Seat the elders near a fan while the plates come, and use the restrooms before the last part of the drive.

Hotel drop
About 12.5 to 13 hours of driving from Mysore, over two days. The tempo traveller drops the family at the hotel. Most monuments close by 6 pm, so plan sightseeing for the next morning. Dress modestly at the mosques and tombs. Jowar roti meals with curd are the local food. If you are going on to Shirdi, Vijayapura is the usual night halt on that drive, and Solapur is about 95 to 100 km further.

We quote Bijapur one way drops on request; the rate is ₹2 a km above a round trip.
It is hot most of the year. Visit the monuments early morning and evening; rest at noon.
For Bijapur, a return after 10 pm brings the night bata of ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
NH50 is a national highway from Chitradurga to Vijayapura. It runs through Kudligi, Hosapete, Kushtagi, Ilkal, Hungund and Basavana Bagewadi. Town stretches are slower, especially in Hosapete, and the driver avoids night driving on this road. In a tempo traveller the second day takes about six to seven hours with halts.
One bag per person fits in the rear of the tempo traveller. Since you stay a night at Chitradurga on the way, pack a small overnight bag so the big suitcases stay in the van. Keep water, snacks, caps and medicines in a day bag at your seat, and a shawl for the cool early mornings.
