Pickup at home
The Urbania picks you up at six. Winter mornings in Mysore can be cold, the city has recorded 7.7 C in January, and the hill is higher still, so pack jackets for elders. The van takes the expressway out of town and turns north at Srirangapatna for the Nagamangala road. The trip is about 165 km one way, and the AC van with reclining seats makes the three and a half hours easy for everyone. The return can include a stop you skipped in the morning.
Drive through
The van drives straight through Srirangapatna. If your parents want darshan, the driver can stop near the Ranganathaswamy temple on the return instead, when the morning rush is over. The island town sits between two arms of the Kaveri, and Ranganathittu bird sanctuary is three or four km away, best from June to November, for another day. After the town the Urbania leaves the expressway and heads north on the road to Pandavapura and Nagamangala.
Breakfast
The van stops 25 minutes for tiffin at Nagamangala. Ten or twelve people are served quickly at the hotels near the bus stand. The Saumyakeshava temple is in the old town, a short walk away. This is a good time for phone calls, as the next stretch has fewer towns. The driver eats at the same time, so there is no waiting later. From here NH150A goes north to Bellur Cross, about 15 km.
Tea halt
Bellur Cross is the junction in Nagamangala taluk where the van joins NH75, the highway between Hassan and Kunigal. An over bridge carries one road over the other. Highway hotels here serve tea and snacks, and there are clean enough restrooms for a quick halt. The math at Adichunchanagiri is about 6 km off the highway and feeds visitors free, a good addition if you have a spare day. The Urbania now turns east for Kunigal.
Past the lake
Kunigal is about 120 km from Mysore. The van passes the Kunigal lake, about 2 km long, and the old stud farm, which was leased by the state in 1992 for racehorse breeding and covers about 400 acres. Here the Urbania turns north on State Highway 33 for Tumakuru. Amruthur, with a 16th century Chennakeshava temple, is about 11 km south west of Kunigal, another idea for a temple lover's return.
Water and snacks
Tumkur (Tumakuru) is the last big town, a district headquarters at about 800 m. Stop fifteen minutes for water, fruit and snacks, since the hill has only simple temple meals. Coconut, areca nut, ragi and groundnut are the crops of this district. The driver fills fuel if needed. Devarayanadurga is about 15 km away through forest, so this is also the last good restroom stop. Elders should use it before the climb.
Wait at the parking
The Urbania covers it in about three and a half hours of driving. It waits at the parking below the upper temple steps. The hill rises to about 1,204 m and its rocky slopes are covered in forest, so the air is fresher than in the city. What you get to eat is simple temple meals, so carry your own snacks. Monkeys grab food bags; keep them in the vehicle. Tumkur station, about 15 km away, is the nearest railway.

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.

Devarayanadurga is about 165 km from Mysore by road, about 330 km for the return trip. The Urbania drives via Srirangapatna, Nagamangala and Bellur Cross to Kunigal, then north through Tumkur (Tumakuru). The trip takes about three and a half hours with breakfast and two short halts.
The 12 seater, with space for bags. See the sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
We arrange it from owners we work with, with their driver, at our rate and under our booking.
No. The ₹40/km covers fuel, driver and AC; parking, tolls and GST are separate.
Yes, that works. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
Only if the driver drives late at night; then a night allowance is added. The quote lists it. ₹700 a night is the Urbania rate.
Yes, the forest on the hill turns green from June onwards, and mist often covers the rocks. Paths and steps can be slippery, so wear shoes with grip and carry umbrellas. The forest road from Tumakuru is paved, and the Urbania drives it slowly in rain. The dry months, November to February, are best for clear views.
Yes. The Urbania has a luggage area behind the last row that takes a cooler, a picnic basket and a few bags. Since the hill offers only simple temple meals, many families pack lunch from home. Keep the food sealed and inside the van at the parking, as the monkeys are quick.
