Pickup at your door
The car reports at your home or hotel at half past six. Devarayanadurga is about 165 km away, roughly three hours with halts, so an early start leaves the cool morning for the hill. The driver takes the NH275 expressway as far as Srirangapatna and then the district roads north. One small link to home: the hill is named after Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar, the Mysore ruler who captured it. On the way back, if you want sandalwood oil or incense, the Government Sandalwood Oil Factory is in Ashokapuram.

Drive through
Srirangapatna passes about fifteen minutes after the start. On this long day the cab drives through, since breakfast is planned further on at Nagamangala. If you want a temple stop, the Ranganathaswamy temple is about a kilometre off the road and can be done in twenty minutes on the return. Just past the island town the car leaves the highway for the road north through Pandavapura. The Kaveri bridges here are the last big river you cross until the Shimsha country near Kunigal.

Breakfast
Nagamangala, about 70 km from Mysore, is the breakfast halt. The small tiffin rooms round the bus stand do idli, vada and tea quickly, so a family of four is back in the car within twenty minutes. The Saumyakeshava temple stands in the old part of town if anyone wants a look. With a car you can choose your own hotel; the driver follows your plan. The road ahead, NH150A, runs north about 15 km to the Hassan highway at Bellur Cross.

Tea and fuel
Bellur Cross is where NH150A, the Tumakuru to Mysore road, meets NH75. An over bridge separates the two highways, and the junction has highway hotels and pumps, so a ten minute halt for tea or fuel suits a car. From here the cab turns east on NH75. Kunigal is about 35 km on, and the road is a busy national highway with trucks heading to the coast, so the driver keeps to the left lane. Yediyur temple lies just off this stretch if you want it on the way home.

Lake town
Kunigal is the lake town, about 120 km from Mysore. The Kunigal kere beside the town is about 2 km long and is called the second largest lake in Karnataka. Across from it is the old stud farm, set up in Tipu Sultan's time for war horses. The car turns north here on State Highway 33, which runs from Maddur to Tumakuru. If someone wants a quick view, the Bettada Ranganathaswamy temple on a forested hill about 5 km off the road looks down on the lake.

Last town before the hill
Tumkur (Tumakuru) is the district city, about 150 km from Mysore and some 35 km north of Kunigal. Stop for ten minutes to buy water, fruit and snacks, because food on the hill is simple. The district is famous for coconut, and the city calls itself Kalpataru Nadu, the land of coconut trees. Thatte idli, the big plate idli, is said to have started at Kyathsandra in Tumkur district. Devarayanadurga is about 15 km from the city on a forest road.

Hill parking
By cab Devarayanadurga is about 3.5 to 4 hours of driving with these halts. The car parks below the upper temple steps, and parking is easy for a small vehicle. The hill rises to about 1,204 m, so evenings are breezy; sunset from the top is worth staying for if you are happy to drive back in the dark. Food on arrival is simple temple meals, so carry snacks. Monkeys grab food bags; keep them in the car. Tumkur railway station is the nearest if anyone leaves by train.

The busiest days are during the Brahmotsava, the annual festival at the Bhoga Narasimha temple, when the hill is decorated and pilgrims fill the parking. Weekends are busier than weekdays. If you want a quiet visit, go on a weekday in the cool months, November to February, and reach the hill by mid morning.
Yes, with care. The monkeys on the hill snatch food bags, so keep snacks inside the car and let children carry only water. The steps to the upper temple are steep, so hold small hands and take breaks. The lower temple is close to the parking for anyone who does not want the climb.
