Leaving Mysore
We leave at 5:30 with your group of twelve, picked up from home or Mysuru Junction. In Dasara, which falls in September or October, the city has crowds and diversions on every exit, so on those dates we start a little earlier. The van keeps to the expressway only till Srirangapatna, then turns at Pandavapura for KR Pet and Channarayapatna. Today ends at Haveri, 375 km away, and Dandeli is a short morning drive after that. Keep raincoats in the hand bags.
First tea
Channarayapatna comes 85 km out, and the van stops fifteen minutes for tea. The town lies on NH75 in Hassan district, and a toll plaza at Kadabahalli collects on the tolled stretch of this highway, so keep the FASTag topped up. Local number plates read KA 13, the Hassan code. The family can stretch while the driver checks the tyres. Arsikere, the breakfast halt, is 55 km further, and the long day to Haveri is just starting.
Breakfast and fuel
Arsikere is 140 km from Mysore and the breakfast halt for the van. The land around is coconut country, known as Kalpataru Nadu, and tender coconut is easy to find by the road. Javagal, with its Lakshminarasimha temple, is about 33 km away and not on today's road. Keep twenty five minutes for twelve people and refill water bottles. From here the van heads for Chitradurga, 105 km on, through dry open land.
Lunch stop
Chitradurga, 245 km out, is the lunch stop. Wind farms line the hills as the van comes in. The Nayakas ruled from the great stone fort here until Hyder Ali took it in 1779, a story children enjoy, but the fort needs three hours, so leave it for another trip. Jowar roti meals are the north Karnataka lunch to try. Keep about 45 minutes, then the van takes NH48 north. Haveri, tonight's halt, is 130 km on.
Night halt
Haveri, 375 km from Mysore, is the night halt, so nobody reaches Dandeli tired. We book rooms in town, close to NH48 for an easy start. The Siddheshwara temple here is a Western Chalukya temple, a short evening visit for the family. Byadgi in the same district has run a dry chilli market since 1948, said to be the largest in Asia. In the morning the van takes the road via Tadas and Kalghatgi to Dandeli, 125 km away.
Tea before the forest
Haliyal, 480 km out and about 20 km short of Dandeli, is the tea halt on the second morning. It is a taluk headquarters town at around 559 m, with shops for snacks, fruit and water. Fifteen minutes is enough. Beyond Haliyal the road enters the forest, so tell the children to keep hands inside the windows. The van has room at the back for wet clothes bags after the river.
Arrival
The tempo traveller reaches Dandeli after about 10.5 to 11 hours of driving, split over two days. The driver drops the group at your stay in town or by the river. Dandeli is a working town on the Kali river, with a plywood industry, so supplies are easy to buy. Check in, rest and eat; most stays plan meals for groups. Karwar is 104 km away, if the family wants the coast on the way back.
Looking for a Mysore to Dandeli tempo traveller for a family or friends trip to the Kali river? The van picks twelve of you up at home or Mysuru Junction and breaks the road with a night at Davangere. Ask for a tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

About 500 km one way, so roughly 1,000 km there and back. The tempo traveller goes via Channarayapatna, Arsikere, Chitradurga, Haveri and Haliyal. Driving time is about 10.5 to 11 hours, which we split with a night at Haveri, so the group reaches Dandeli fresh on the second morning.
The operators have age limits; ask them before booking.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. The quote lists it. Per night it is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Yes, with parking and GST.
It can be done. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
The 12 seater. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
From March to May the stretch from Arsikere through Chitradurga is dry and hot by afternoon; Chitradurga gets only about 576 mm of rain a year. The van has AC, but carry extra water and keep the long halts short. October to March is the pleasant season for the whole road.
Twelve medium suitcases stack at the rear of the van, and day packs sit at everyone's feet. For Dandeli, add spare clothes, a sack for damp things and a light jacket for evenings by the river. Keep medicines and snacks in hand bags, as the big bags stay packed until Haveri.
