Pickup at your door
The cab collects you at home, at a palace side lodge or at Mysore Junction at 6:30. The temple is about 195 km away and darshan is calmer on a weekday morning, so an early start pays off. Families who want to carry Mysore pak or a silk saree as an offering or a gift should buy it the day before; shops will still be shut when you leave. The car joins the expressway on the ring road. Mandya, 45 km out, is the first halt.

Tea
Mandya is about 45 km along, a district town in the middle of the cane fields. Ten minutes covers tea or a glass of cane juice and the restroom. The halt is off the main road, so the driver uses the service lane. If the family wants jaggery for home, the blocks sold here come from small alemanes in the villages around. Keep it short; breakfast is only 20 km on at Maddur, and the temple is still about 150 km away.

Breakfast
Maddur, 65 km from Mysore, is the breakfast halt. The town's own vada, flat and crunchy, was first sold to train passengers on the station platform, so the story goes. Twenty minutes covers vada, idli and coffee for a carload. The expressway skips the town, so the cab uses the exit. Maddur also sends tender coconuts by the truckload to other states; drink one for the road. The run to the temple from here is about 130 km.

Tea
Ramanagara, about 95 km out, is a tea and restroom stop. The town is known for silk cocoons and for the granite hills where Sholay was filmed. A cab can pull in at a highway hotel for ten minutes. A few kilometres away, Ramadevara Betta has a Rama temple on its summit, but the climb takes time and today's temple is still a good 100 km ahead. After Ramanagara the car leaves the Mysore road side and heads round the city.

Drive through
Nelamangala, about 155 km from Mysore, is where the cab reaches the Tumkur highway after going round the west of the city. NH75 to Hassan splits off NH48 here, and the toll plaza near the split can jam badly on long weekends. A car slips through, so there is no stop. Shivagange, the bull shaped hill, is some 25 km away on the Dobbaspet side, a temple trip for another day. Doddaballapur, the next town, is about 25 km on.

Tea break
Doddaballapur, about 180 km out, is an old weaving town; most of its looms now run on power, and silk sarees are the thing to look at if you have time. Ten minutes covers coffee and a restroom. The ring road from Dobbaspet passes the town, with a toll at Hulikunte. From here the temple near Tubagere is only about 15 km on. Families staying the night often take a hotel in Doddaballapur, since Ghati itself is a village.

Temple parking
The cab drops you at the temple parking, and parking a car here is easy on most days. The temple prasada and simple meals are available near the shrine, so lunch can be at the temple. Karthikeya is worshipped here together with Narasimha, and many come for prayers linked to Kethu. Shashti days and festivals are very crowded; weekday mornings are much quieter. Leave footwear in the car, and keep about an hour for darshan before the drive back.
Want a Mysore to Ghati Subramanya cab for a weekend darshan, four to seven people? Book it as a Mysore to Ghati Subramanya taxi for a drop, or keep the car for the whole trip. Pickup is from your hotel near the palace, Mysore railway station or the city bus stand, anywhere in Mysuru. Pick a car on cab rental in Mysore: sedans for four, Innova for six or seven.

By car, Ghati Subramanya is roughly 195 km from Mysore, so about 390 km for a return in one day. The route uses the expressway as far as Ramanagara, swings round the west of the city to Nelamangala, then runs through Doddaballapur to the temple. Expect about 4.5 to 5 hours of driving with breakfast.

The Brahmarathotsava falls on Pushya Shuddha Shashti, in December or January, and Narasimha Jayanti is the other big day. On those dates the roads near the temple and the parking fill up early. A cab copes better than a bus, but we still suggest leaving Mysore by 5:30 and parking before mid morning.
Yes, for most. The cab drops you at the temple parking, close to the gate, and parking a car here is easy on normal days. Darshan takes about an hour. Avoid Shashti days, when the crowds make queues long. The drive is about 4.5 to 5 hours each way, so elders may prefer a night in Doddaballapur.
