Pickup at your gate
The tempo traveller is at your gate at six. In Dasara season, September or October, check the date first: the city is crowded for ten days and the police divert traffic on the exit roads. On normal days the van is on the expressway within minutes. Puja baskets, coconuts and steel vessels fit behind the last row. Goravanahalli is about 180 km, three and a half hours with halts, so you reach the temple by late morning.

Optional tea
Mandya is the first town, about 45 km out, where the van can stop for tea if anyone asks. The farm meal this region is known for is ragi mudde eaten with a curry of country chicken, but that suits lunch better than an early halt. For another trip, the old Kikkeri temple and the Thirumala Sagar tank lie a short drive from the town. Most families drive on, as the breakfast stop is only 20 km ahead at Maddur.

Breakfast
At Maddur the tempo traveller comes off the expressway for breakfast. The town trades in tender coconut, and lorry loads leave here for other states every day, so a fresh coconut with breakfast is easy to find. If someone in the family watches birds, the village of Kokkarebellur, about 12 km away, has painted storks nesting from October to March. Keep thirty minutes, then the van turns north on State Highway 33.

Tea halt
Kunigal, about 115 km from Mysore, is the tea halt. If anyone skipped breakfast, the highway hotels around the town do idli, vada and filter coffee, and some serve upma and bisibele bath together on one plate with a sweet. The temple town of Yediyur, linked to the saint Siddalinga, lies about 19 km south west, an option for the return. The van keeps to the state highway north to Tumakuru, about 35 km.

Fuel stop
In Tumkur (Tumakuru), the district city, the van stops for diesel and the family gets twenty minutes for water, fruit and restrooms. About 25 km away at Araluguppe there is a Hoysala Chennakeshava shrine from the 12th century, one more temple for a longer trip. From the city the driver takes the district road north towards Koratagere, and Goravanahalli is roughly half an hour on. This is the last good restroom stop of the morning.

At the temple
The tempo traveller takes about three and a half hours with the halts. Keep footwear in the van and walk in together. Little shops beside the temple sell puja items and snacks. Most people come for the Mahalakshmi darshan, and weekdays are calmer; Fridays are packed. The driver parks as near as the village road allows and waits for the family. Plain meals are served close to the temple, and the return goes back by Tumakuru.
Need a Mysore to Goravanahalli tempo traveller for a family of 12 going for Mahalakshmi darshan? Leave early and you are at the temple before the late morning rush. Book it through our tempo traveller on rent in Mysore desk, open since 2009. The driver meets you at your house in Mysore or the railway station, in Mysuru city.

Yes. Both the expressway and the Kunigal state highway are sealed roads, and water clears off them quickly. The wet months in this belt run from June into October, October usually bringing the heaviest showers. On the two way road after Maddur the driver eases off in rain. Keep umbrellas handy for the short walk to the temple gate.
Put the bigger items, sweets for prasada, flower baskets and a bag or two, in the rear of the tempo traveller, and keep a small bag with water and snacks at your seat. Wrap the flowers in a damp cloth so they stay fresh through the drive. Coconuts can be bought at the stalls by the temple, which saves carrying them.
