Pickup at home
Your Urbania comes at six. The first leg ends at Chitradurga, a gentle 280 km for elders, with the night in a hotel there. If you want to show visitors the zoo or Karanji lake once you are back, avoid a Tuesday, when both are shut. Take light cotton for the hot north and a shawl for the early hours. The van joins the expressway, and the driver keeps the AC mild so elders do not catch a chill.

Coffee
Coffee is at Maddur, an hour out; the Urbania leaves the main road and parks by a vada shop. Devout travellers sometimes ask about the Varadaraja shrine here, whose image stands roughly 12 ft and is finished on both faces, but today there is time only for coffee. Elders can stay seated while the driver brings the cups to the van. After a quarter of an hour the van turns north towards Kunigal and Tumakuru.

Breakfast
Breakfast is in Tumkur (Tumakuru), half an hour for ten people at a hotel with parking at the door. Two hills near the city make good outings another time: Shivagange, about 25 km away, and the cave hill of Siddara Betta, about 22 km. After eating, the Urbania rolls onto NH48, a broad national highway, and the driver holds an even pace so elders can nap until the tea stop at Sira. Fill water bottles here.

Tea
At Sira the van halts for tea. Some 10 km away is Kaggaladu, a village sanctuary where painted storks raise chicks between February and August; trains do not reach it, as the nearest station is Gubbi. Fifteen minutes is plenty for tea and restrooms, and elders can walk a little by the van. The night halt is about 80 km further, beyond Hiriyur, so the family reaches the hotel early.

Night halt
Tonight the family stays in Chitradurga, reached by early afternoon so elders get a proper rest. For anyone curious about rocks, the pillow lava at Maradihalli close by is a National Geological Monument. The fort is all granite and steps, so it suits the younger members in the cooler evening, while elders stay at the hotel. In the morning the Urbania turns onto NH50 for the long run north to Bijapur.

Breakfast
Kudligi, roughly 80 km into the second morning, is breakfast; give it twenty five minutes. In this small town there is a memorial ground, the Mahadeva Mylara, linked with the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi. The town sits at about 596 m among tamarind trees. Elders can take their morning tablets with breakfast. Then the Urbania carries on past Mariyammanahalli towards Hosapete, about 45 km, so the next halt is less than an hour away and the day's longest stretch comes after it.

Tea
Hosapete gives a fifteen minute tea break. Beside the town stretches the long wall of the Tungabhadra Dam, Pampa Sagar, a masonry dam of stone and surki whose building began in 1949. The town itself was laid out in 1520 by Krishnadevaraya. Buy fruit for the afternoon. The Urbania then takes NH50 north by Kushtagi and Ilkal, around two and a half hours to the lunch stop at Hungund, so elders should use the restrooms here.

Lunch
Lunch on the second day is at Hungund; allow forty minutes and serve elders first. Ilkal, which you just passed 12 km to the south, is known for its saris, and Amingad near Hungund for karadantu, a dry fruit sweet; both make good gifts. Hungund stands on NH50 at about 531 m. After lunch the van covers the last 85 km via Basavana Bagewadi and reaches Bijapur by mid afternoon.

Drop at the hotel
Two days and close to 12.5 to 13 hours of driving bring the Urbania to your hotel in Bijapur. Monuments shut at about 6 pm, so plan the sights for the next morning, when it is cooler for elders. Modest clothes are expected at mosques and tombs. A plain jowar roti meal with curd suits anyone who wants simple food. The station has trains towards Mumbai and Hyderabad if someone needs to leave by rail.

Bijapur: driving after 10 pm adds the driver night bata, ₹700 a night.
The 8 seater. Every size is listed on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
The stairs are steep and narrow. Elders can see the dome from the garden.
Bijapur one way: on request, at ₹2 a km over the return rate, quoted as a written quote.
Bijapur is about 610 km away; parking, tolls, permits and GST go on top at actuals.
October to February. Bijapur and the plains on the way are hot from March to May, and walking between the monuments in that heat is hard for elders. The rains from June to October are light in this dry belt, so the roads stay good. In any season, keep sightseeing for the mornings.
Yes. The night at Chitradurga breaks the trip, and each day has a halt every two hours or so. Bring games, snacks and a pillow. Children usually enjoy the echo inside the Gol Gumbaz, so keep that for the morning after arrival when they are rested.
