Family pickup
The van collects the family of twelve at 5, from home or the palace area. Before the trip, remember that most Mysore shops and restaurants shut before 10 pm, so the return shopping should be planned for daylight. The driver follows NH275 out of the city to Srirangapatna and turns at Pandavapura for KR Pet. The first day ends at Hosapete, 385 km on; Gulbarga comes on the second evening. Big bags go at the back.
Tea and toll
Channarayapatna, 85 km into the trip, is the first tea stop. This part of NH75 is tolled, with the Kadabahalli plaza on the stretch towards Hassan, and FASTag keeps the van moving. Vehicles with KA 13 plates belong to Hassan district, so you will see many. Fifteen minutes lets the children run around a little. Arsikere, the breakfast halt, comes 60 km later. Note the driver's mobile number now, so anyone who wanders off at a halt can call him.
Breakfast
At 145 km the van reaches Arsikere for breakfast. Locals call this belt Kalpataru Nadu, coconut country. Javagal, with a Lakshminarasimha temple, is about 33 km away, and the Malekallu Tirupati hill temple about 3 km, neither for today. Keep thirty minutes for twelve people, then the van turns north for Chitradurga, 105 km on. Hand round water bottles; the road dries out from here. The driver also checks the tyres and the coolant here before the hottest part of the day.
Lunch
Chitradurga, 250 km out, is the lunch halt. The Nayaka kings held the great fort here until Hyder Ali took it in 1779, and the woman Obavva is said to have fought his soldiers at a gap in the rocks, a story children like. Lunch is jowar roti country. Forty five minutes, then the van leaves NH48 for NH50. Kudligi is 80 km on and Hosapete 135 km. Children can doze after lunch, since the afternoon leg on NH50 is long and straight.
Afternoon tea
Kudligi, 330 km out on NH50, is the afternoon tea halt. Between Chitradurga and here the highway crosses Jagalur taluk. The town is known for tamarind, and a huge banyan, Maliyammana aaladamara, stands on the Choornur road. Fifteen minutes for tea and the restroom. Hosapete is 55 km on, via Mariyammanahalli, so the family reaches the hotel before night. If the family is tired, the van can roll on without a halt, as the hotel is close.
Night halt
Hosapete, 385 km from Mysore, is where the family stays the night. The town lies on the Tungabhadra, and the dam beside it is India's largest stone masonry dam. Hotels have parking for a van. Hampi is 13 km away, so an early morning there is possible if you add time. Day two starts after breakfast; Gulbarga is still 285 km, about six hours. Ask the hotel for an early breakfast, so the van can leave by seven and beat the heat.
Tea stop
Kushtagi, 465 km from Mysore, is the morning tea halt on day two. Children get restless after an hour and a half, so a short break helps. Pomegranate is grown widely here. A new railway, the Gadag to Wadi line, is being built through this area. From Kushtagi the van leaves NH50 for Lingasugur, 60 km on. Fifteen minutes for tea and the restroom. Fruit bought here stays fresh in the van till Gulbarga if kept out of the sun.
Lunch for twelve
Lingasugur, 525 km out, is the day two lunch halt, a busy taluk town on the main road. The driver picks a clean highway hotel where twelve people can sit together for a north Karnataka meal. Fill water and fuel, because the last 145 km to Gulbarga have fewer good stops. Forty minutes here. Ask the children to nap after lunch; it is about three hours more. The van parks right outside, and the family can rest a few minutes in the shade after eating.
Last stretch
Jewargi, 625 km from Mysore, sits close to the Bhima river, one of the two big rivers of Kalaburagi district. A ten minute restroom halt is possible on the highway, otherwise the van keeps going, as Gulbarga is only 45 km on. Wake the children here so they are ready at the hotel. Keep the hotel booking on your phone for the driver. Traffic picks up on the approach to the city, so the last 45 km can take close to an hour.
Arrival
The tempo traveller reaches Gulbarga, or Kalaburagi, after about thirteen and a half hours of driving over two days. The driver drops you at the hotel and parks nearby. Jowar roti is the staple food here; try it with a peanut chutney at dinner. The city has good rail links, and Hyderabad airport is about 140 km away if anyone flies back. Dress modestly for the city's shrines. Tell the driver the next day's plan before he leaves for the night.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

About 670 km one way, so roughly 1,340 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller goes via Channarayapatna, Arsikere, Chitradurga, Kudligi and Hosapete, then Kushtagi, Lingasugur and Jewargi. It is about 14 to 14.5 hours of driving, which we split with a night at Hosapete.
Past 10 pm on the Gulbarga trip, the driver gets a night bata of ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
For Gulbarga, 670 km each way, tolls, parking fees, permits and GST are billed at actuals.
Yes. Stay at Hosapete and see Hampi in the morning before driving on.
Yes, Gulbarga one way on request; it runs ₹2 a km over a return, on paper.
Up to 9, the 9 seater; 10 to 12, the 12 seater; 13 to 17, the 13, 14, 16 or 17 seater. Sizes are on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
November to February. Gulbarga summers are extremely hot, and the drive crosses open dry country for most of both days. In the cooler months the halts are pleasant and the city can be seen at a relaxed pace. If you must travel in summer, start at dawn and rest through the afternoon.
One medium bag each fits at the back of the van, and small bags go under the seats. For a trip of four or five days, pack light cotton clothes, caps and one warm layer for the early starts. Keep medicines and snacks in hand bags, as the big bags stay packed until Hosapete.
