Doorstep pickup
Gulbarga is 670 km from Mysore, so we split it into two days with a night at Hosapete. The car comes to your house, a hotel or the railway station at 5. If anyone in the family speaks only Hindi, keep in mind that Kannada is the main language here and Hindi is not always understood away from tourist spots; the driver helps at every halt. We leave the expressway at Pandavapura and head for KR Pet. Pack day one snacks in a small bag at your feet.
First tea
Two hours and 85 km after leaving home, the car pulls in at Channarayapatna for tea. The highway here is NH75, and the town sits on the rail line to Mangalore and Karwar, so a closed level crossing can hold traffic briefly. Shravanabelagola, a dozen km away, is a day of its own. Ten minutes is enough for a family; breakfast comes about 60 km later at Arsikere. Gulbarga, the end of the road, is still 585 km off.
Breakfast
Breakfast is at Arsikere, 145 km out, a railway junction where more than a hundred and twenty trains stop. The town sits at about 806 to 812 m in coconut country, so a tender coconut makes a good start. Twenty minutes for four people, and the driver fills the tank. From here the road heads north to Chitradurga, about 105 km away, through drier land with fewer halts. Keep water bottles filled.
Lunch at the fork
At 250 km the car reaches Chitradurga for lunch. This is where NH50 leaves NH48 for Kudligi and Hosapete, and our road follows NH50. Order jowar roti and a north Karnataka curry, the everyday food of this side of the state. The city stands at about 732 m below rock hills topped with wind turbines. Keep the fort for another trip; it needs hours. Half an hour here, then 135 km more to tonight's halt.
Tamarind town tea
Kudligi, 330 km from Mysore, is a quiet taluk town on NH50, known for its tamarind. It stands at about 596 m. The Gudekote sloth bear sanctuary is in this taluk, too far off the road for a short stop. A ten minute tea halt breaks the afternoon. After Kudligi the road passes Mariyammanahalli and reaches Hosapete, with the Tungabhadra dam beside the town, about 55 km on. Arrive before dark if possible.
Night halt
Hosapete, 385 km out, is the night halt. Krishnadevaraya founded the town in 1520 and named it after his mother Nagamma, and today it heads Vijayanagara district. Hampi is 13 km away, a morning visit if the family adds a day. Hotels are plenty, and the market area is good for any shopping you forgot. Day two runs 285 km to Gulbarga, so we leave after an early breakfast. The car parks inside the hotel compound overnight, and the driver rests nearby.
Tea on day two
Kushtagi, 465 km out, is the day two tea halt, about 80 km from Hosapete. Pomegranate orchards cover much of the taluk, and the fruit by the road is worth buying in season. A Durga Devi temple stands in the heart of the town. Here NH50 goes on to Ilkal and Vijayapura, and the Badami road branches off, but our car turns for Lingasugur, 60 km ahead. Ten minutes and we move.
Lunch
Lingasugur, 525 km from Mysore, is a busy taluk town on the main road north and the lunch stop on day two. The highway hotels serve north Karnataka meals with rotti, ennegai and rice. The car parks right at the door. Fill fuel here for the last stretch. Gulbarga is still 145 km away, about three hours, so keep lunch to half an hour and the family arrives before evening.
Bhima crossing
Jewargi, 625 km out, is the last town before Gulbarga, which lies only 45 km on. The road crosses the Bhima river near the town; the Bhima and the Krishna both flow through Kalaburagi district. Tea stalls stand by the highway if anyone needs a break, but most cab trips keep going, since the drop is less than an hour away. Have the hotel address ready for the driver. From here the city outskirts begin within half an hour, so the driver may slow for traffic.
Hotel drop
The cab reaches Gulbarga, also called Kalaburagi, after about 14 to 14.5 hours of driving over two days. The driver drops you at your hotel; many visitors stay near the railway station, which is well connected. Kannada and Urdu are both widely spoken, and modest dress is expected at the religious places. Summers are very hot, so keep visits to mornings and evenings. Tur dal from this district is a good thing to take home.
Booking a Mysore to Gulbarga cab for four people on a long drive north? By car you can do it in a very long day, but two days is safer. The driver meets you at your house in Mysore or the railway station, in Mysuru city. We have been doing cab rental in Mysore since 2009. Some call it the Mysore to Gulbarga taxi; it is the same car with a driver.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Gulbarga is about 670 km from Mysore one way, so about 1,340 km for the round trip. The cab runs via Channarayapatna, Arsikere and Chitradurga, then NH50 through Kudligi and Hosapete, and on by Kushtagi, Lingasugur and Jewargi. By car it is about 14 to 14.5 hours of driving, split over two days with a night at Hosapete.
No, they are separate. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
Any driving after 10 pm adds a night bata for our driver, as per the quote. Night bata: ₹400.
Yes. Bidar is roughly 110 km and Bijapur roughly 160 km from Gulbarga.
Yes. A Mysore to Gulbarga one way taxi is on request; you get the fare before booking.
Four to Gulbarga fit a Dzire or Etios. See each car on cab rental in Mysore. Six or seven, or four with heavy bags: Innova or Innova Crysta.
It is possible but hard. Gulbarga summers are extremely hot, and the open country from Chitradurga onward gets little shade. The cab has AC, yet every halt and visit is tiring at midday. November to February is the comfortable season. In summer, drive early, rest after lunch and keep visits for the evening.
Yes, if the halts are kept. Day one has stops at Channarayapatna, Arsikere, Chitradurga and Kudligi before the night at Hosapete, and day two has three more. Carry snacks, water, wet wipes and a change of clothes in the car. A child seat can be arranged if you ask at booking.
