Pickup at your door
Tell us where the car should wait: your house, a palace side hotel, Mysuru Junction or Mandakalli airport all work. At 6 the driver takes the expressway as far as Srirangapatna, then leaves it at Pandavapura, about 25 km out, for the KR Pet road. The fort lies 250 km north, and a dawn start beats the afternoon sun on its rocks. Dasara falls in September or October; police diversions on the city exits then cost us extra minutes, so we start earlier in that season. Four people with heavy bags should book the Innova Crysta, not the Dzire.
Island town, drive on
Srirangapatna comes up after only 15 km, too soon for breakfast, so most cars roll over the Kaveri and keep going. At 6 in the morning the sights are still shut anyway; Daria Daulat Bagh, Tipu Sultan's teak summer palace, opens around 9 and closes by 5. If you want it, keep it for the return and reach before 4. The Ranganathaswamy temple, which gives the town its name, sits a short turn off the road. From here the road heads to the Pandavapura turn, and the fort is still 235 km on.
Temple town tea
KR Pet, the taluk town of Krishnarajapete, is 55 km out and a good place for tea and a stretch. The Hoysala Lakshminarayana temple at Hosaholalu stands about 2 km west of the town on the Bherya road, built around 1250 on a raised platform, so a car can do it in twenty minutes if the group is keen. Roadside stalls in this Mandya district belt squeeze fresh sugarcane juice. Channarayapatna is about 30 km ahead on the same road, and breakfast waits there.
Breakfast halt
At 85 km the car pulls in at Channarayapatna for breakfast, and twenty minutes covers plates and the restroom for a family. Chennigaraya, the Vishnu of the old town temple, lent the place its name. Gommateshwara at Shravanabelagola is a 12 km detour, yet the hill shuts its gate around midday until mid afternoon and asks for a barefoot climb of some 650 steps, so keep it for a dawn start or the drive home. Arsikere is 60 km on, and fields of cane give way to drier land.
Tea in coconut country
Arsikere, 145 km out, is the heart of what locals call Kalpataru Nadu, coconut country, so tender coconut is the obvious order here. The town is a busy rail junction on the Hubli line, and the Hoysala Ishvara temple of 1220 is worth a look if you stretch the halt. The Malekallu Tirupati hill temple, about 3 km away, has roughly 1,300 steps and suits a separate morning, not this drive. Fill the tank if needed; Hosadurga is 45 km ahead and Chitradurga 105 km.
Millet town
Hosadurga means new fort, after the hill fort Chikkanna Nayaka built here in 1676, and the taluk calls itself the land of millets. It sits on NH173, at about 739 m, 190 km from Mysore. A car can pause for tea near the town bus stand, but most families keep going, because Chitradurga is only 60 km on and lunch is better taken there. The country turns rocky and open after this town, so keep water in the car and sunglasses handy.
Fort gate drop
Wind farms on the ridges announce the city, and the car stops by Gate 3, where cars park just outside the walls. The ASI keeps simple toilets and drinking water there. Entry works through a QR code scanned at the gate; phones often lose signal on the rocks, so pay online while still in Hosadurga. Timings differ between listings, dawn to dusk in one and late morning to evening in another, so we ring ahead. Rubber soled shoes and a bottle each make the rock walk easier for a family.
Booking a Mysore to Chitradurga cab for a family of four to see the fort? A car covers the road in about five hours with two short halts. Some call it the Mysore to Chitradurga taxi; it is the same car with a driver. It comes from our cab rental in Mysore fleet, running since 2009. The driver meets you at the palace area or the Suburban bus stand, in Mysuru city.

Group too big for one car? See the Mysore to Chitradurga Force Urbania. A smoother ride for older people is the Mysore to Chitradurga mini bus. More cars: cab rental in Mysore.
Cancellation: no charge more than 72 hours before pickup; see the cancellation policy for the rest.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Chitradurga fort is about 250 km from Mysore one way, so about 500 km there and back. The cab goes by Srirangapatna, KR Pet, Channarayapatna, Arsikere and Hosadurga. Plan on about 5 to 5.5 hours by car, counting a tea halt and a short breakfast, so a 6 am start reaches the fort by late morning.
Yes. Add the days and km to the quote. Hampi is about 140 km further.
Four people: Dzire or Etios. All our cars are on cab rental in Mysore. Six or seven, or four with big bags: Innova or Innova Crysta.
No. GST, tolls, parking and any permit are charged at actual.
Yes. A Mysore to Chitradurga one way taxi is on request; you get the fare before booking.
Yes, past 10 pm a night allowance is charged. Plan the start time and it rarely comes up.
October to March is the comfortable season for the fort. Chitradurga is dry, with only about 576 mm of rain a year, so the road stays open in every month, but April and May make the rock walk very hot by noon. In summer, start at 6, see the fort in the morning and keep the afternoon for the hotel or the drive back.
Yes. The drive breaks into short legs, with halts at KR Pet, Channarayapatna and Arsikere, so no leg is much over an hour for the children. Carry water and caps, because the fort is open rock with little shade. A child seat is not standard in our cars, so tell us at booking if you need one and we will plan for it.
