Pickup at your door
The car comes to your door at six. If you want flowers for the Mahalakshmi puja, Mysore mallige, the city's own jasmine, is sold fresh every morning, and so are the Mysore betel leaves that carry the city's name. Goravanahalli is about 180 km away, so the early start gets you into the queue before it grows. The cab takes the NH275 expressway out of the city towards Mandya and Maddur, where it turns north.

Tea if you like
Mandya, about 45 km out, is the district town in the middle of cane country. If anyone wants tea, the car can leave the expressway for a quick cup; otherwise it carries on, since breakfast is at Maddur, 20 km ahead. Cane juice, pressed fresh at the stalls by the road, is the drink here, and on the way home a block of the local jaggery makes a good gift. The expressway goes round the town, so the halt adds only a few minutes either way.

Breakfast
Maddur, about 65 km from Mysore, is breakfast. The vada named after this town is flat and crisp, made from a mix of rice flour, rava and maida with onion and curry leaves, and it travels well if you want a packet for later. The new road passes outside the town, so the car comes off at the exit to reach the shops. In town, the Varadaraja shrine holds a tall image, roughly 12 ft, finished on both faces. Then the cab turns north on State Highway 33 for Kunigal.

Tea halt
Kunigal is about 50 km north of Maddur, where the state highway meets NH75. Keep fifteen minutes for tea and a washroom. Among the town's old shrines is a Padmeshvara temple built in the Hoysala manner. Further off, about 38 km to the south, rises Huliyurdurga, a rock shaped like an upturned cup, with a fort that people link to Kempe Gowda; it is too far for this trip. The cab goes on north on the same road to Tumakuru, about 35 km.

Fuel and a break
Tumkur (Tumakuru), roughly 150 km from Mysore, is the district city, and the cab stops twenty minutes for fuel, water and a stretch. A mega food park, said to be the first in India, was opened near the city in 2014, a sign of how much farm produce moves through here. Madhugiri, about 43 km away, has a huge single rock hill with a fort; the walk up takes two to three hours, so keep it for another day. Goravanahalli is about 30 km on.

Temple road drop
The cab reaches the temple road roughly three and a half hours after leaving home, and the driver waits there while you go in. Coconuts and flower strings are on sale at the stalls by the gate, so it does not matter if you left yours in Mysore. On Fridays the line is long by noon, so arrive early that day. Plain meals are served close to the shrine. For the drive back, the cab returns the same way through Tumakuru and Kunigal.
Looking for a Mysore to Goravanahalli cab for four people and a quick darshan? A car makes it there and back in one day with time for Siddaganga. We have offered cab rental in Mysore since 2009. Some call it the Mysore to Goravanahalli taxi; it is the same car with a driver. Start point in Mysuru can be Mysore airport at Mandakalli or the railway station.

The expressway runs from Mysore to Maddur, about 65 km. At Maddur the cab turns north onto State Highway 33, a two way state road to Kunigal, where it crosses NH75, and on to Tumakuru. The last stretch from Tumakuru to Goravanahalli is a district road. All of it is paved and comfortable for a sedan.
Yes, the halts are well spaced: Mandya if you want tea, breakfast at Maddur, tea at Kunigal and a break at Tumakuru. Children usually love the Maddur vada. On a Friday the temple queue can be long, so bring water and a snack for them, or go on a weekday when it is quieter.
