Pickup in Mysuru
The Urbania collects your group from a hotel near the palace, the railway station, Mysore airport at Mandakalli or your home. We start at 6, run out on NH275 past Srirangapatna and swing north at Pandavapura for KR Pet and Channarayapatna. The fort is 250 km away and the AC helps on the dry stretch after Arsikere. Leave space for the return shopping; Mysore pak, the ghee rich gram flour sweet, is sold all over the city and makes an easy gift from the trip.
Out of Mysore
Srirangapatna, 15 km from the start, is an island in the Kaveri at about 679 m, and the Wellesley bridge over the river dates from 1804. It is too early for breakfast, so the Urbania usually drives on. Nimishamba temple stands on the river bank about 2 to 3 km from town, a quiet stop for elders on the way home in the evening. Ranganathittu bird sanctuary is only 3 to 4 km off, best from June to November, again a return day idea. Chitradurga is 235 km on.
Tea before breakfast
KR Pet sits about 55 km out at around 790 m, and the Urbania halts here for tea. The villages around the town hold many Hoysala temples; the five shrine Panchalingeshwara temple at Govindanahalli, built around 1238, is a monument of national importance and a calm detour for elders on a slower day. A small Hoysaleswara temple at Thenginaghatta carries an inscription of 1133. Keep this halt short today, because breakfast is at Channarayapatna, about 30 km on.
Breakfast on NH75
Channarayapatna, 85 km out, stands at about 827 to 845 m on NH75, and its hotels serve breakfast fast enough for a group of 12 to 16. Keep about thirty minutes. Shravanabelagola is 12 to 13 km off the highway; the Gommateshwara statue there is 57 ft tall and the climb is barefoot, which is hard for knees, so most elders view it from below on a separate day. The Bagur Navile tunnel in this taluk is called the longest water tunnel in India. Arsikere is 60 km ahead.
Short break
Arsikere, 145 km from Mysore, stands at about 806 to 812 m in coconut country. Fifteen minutes is enough for tea, tender coconut and the restroom. Trains on the Hubli line stop at its junction, so expect a level crossing or two. For a group with time, Haranahalli, about 8 km south, keeps the remains of an old fort, and Nagapuri fort on Hirekal hill is about 11 km north. Neither fits today; Chitradurga is still 105 km on.
Last town before the fort
Hosadurga, 190 km out, is the last town before the fort and stands at about 739 m. The name means new fort, from the hill fort of 1676. The state bus service keeps a depot and stand here, and Hosadurga Road station is about 20 km away. Elders can use a restroom halt here, since the next 60 km to Chitradurga have few clean stops. The Urbania keeps a steady pace on the open road, and the fort walls come into view as the city nears.
Drop near the fort
The Urbania reaches Chitradurga about five hours after Mysore and drops you near Gate 3, where parking is right outside the fort. Water and basic toilets are inside, set up by the ASI. The fort is rocky with a lot of walking, so seniors should pick a short loop and rest in the shade. Carry caps and water. In British days the town was called Chitaldrug, and old signboards still show the name. Book the hotel in town for the night, as the return is another five hours.
Planning a Mysore to Chitradurga Force Urbania for a small group that wants a cool ride? Long dry stretches after Arsikere; AC makes the difference in summer. We pick you up in Mysuru at Mysore airport at Mandakalli or the railway station. Tejas Tours & Travels has operated Force Urbania on rent in Mysore since 2009.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

One way it is about 250 km, and the round trip comes to about 500 km. The Urbania goes by Srirangapatna, KR Pet, Channarayapatna, Arsikere and Hosadurga. Allow about 5 hours with the tea and breakfast halts, which is why most groups stay one night in Chitradurga.
No, they are separate. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
Any driving after 10 pm adds a night bata for the driver, as per the quote. On our Mysore card that is ₹700 a night.
Parts are steep boulders. Elders can see the lower temples and wait in the shade.
For 8 or 9 people, the 10 seater. For 16, the 16 seater. See every size on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore. For 10 to 13, the 12 or 13 seater.
On request, yes. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
Rarely. Chitradurga is one of the drier districts, with about 576 mm of rain a year, and the road has no ghat. Short heavy showers can make the fort rocks slippery, so on wet days keep to the lower paths. The cool, clear months from October to March are the most comfortable for a group with elders.
Larger suitcases go in the space at the back, and small bags fit under or beside the seats. For 12 to 16 people on an overnight trip, one medium bag each works well. Keep medicines, water and a light shawl in a hand bag, as the AC can feel cool on the early morning start.
