Pickup in Mysuru
The Urbania picks up elders and family at 5, from a hotel, your home or Mandakalli airport. If you plan to buy Mysore silk on the way back, the KSIC weaving factory on Manandavadi Road lets visitors watch sarees being woven and has an outlet. Our road out takes the expressway to Srirangapatna and then the Pandavapura turn for KR Pet. Day one ends at Hosapete, 385 km away, and the reclining seats help on the long first leg.

Tea and a walk
Channarayapatna, 85 km out on NH75, is the first halt. Elders get fifteen minutes for tea and a short walk. The taluk grows coconut and sugarcane, and the town takes its name from the old Chennigaraya temple. Nuggehalli, about 20 km away, keeps 13th century Hoysala temples, a calmer trip for another day. Arsikere, for breakfast, is about 60 km on. The Urbania's step is low, so even a quick tea stop is easy for knees that dislike climbing.

Breakfast
Breakfast is at Arsikere, 145 km from Mysore. NH73 from Tumakuru and NH69 to Shivamogga both serve this junction town. The Sahasrakuta Jinalaya, a Jain building of 1220, stands in town for those who like old architecture. Thirty minutes lets elders eat slowly while the driver fuels the Urbania. Chitradurga is 105 km ahead, through dry land where the AC makes a difference. After breakfast the AC stays on, and elders who doze will find the seats recline well.

Lunch
Lunch is at Chitradurga, 250 km out. In British days the city was written Chitaldrug. Akka Thangi Honda, twin tanks cut in the rock, kept the fort supplied in sieges, a short story for the lunch table. Jowar roti meals are the local lunch. Forty five minutes, then the Urbania takes NH50, which branches off here towards Kudligi and Hosapete, about 135 km more today. Elders can sit inside with the AC running while others finish lunch.

Tea
Kudligi, 330 km from Mysore, is a quiet stop on NH50. The town is known for tamarind, and a memorial at the Mahadeva Mylara ground marks where Mahatma Gandhi's ashes were brought. Elders can take fifteen minutes for tea and the restroom. Hosapete is 55 km on, past Mariyammanahalli, and the Urbania should reach before dark. This is a good moment for medicines that are due in the evening, before the hotel check in.

Night halt
Hosapete, 385 km out, is the night stop. It is the district headquarters of Vijayanagara, so hotels and medical shops are easy to find. Hosapete Junction is on the Hubballi to Guntakal line, and the Jindal airport at Toranagallu, about 30 km away, has scheduled flights. October to March is the pleasant season here. Day two to Gulbarga is 285 km. Ask for ground floor rooms for those who find stairs hard; we pass the request to the hotel.

Tea and water
Kushtagi, 465 km out, is the first halt of day two. The long open road makes this a welcome break; elders can stay seated while others buy tea and water. A Durga Devi temple stands in the town centre. NH50 continues to Ilkal, about 30 km on, but the Urbania turns here for Lingasugur. Fifteen minutes. Fresh fruit from roadside stalls makes a light snack for elders on this dry stretch.

Lunch
Lingasugur, 525 km from Mysore, is the lunch halt on day two, a busy taluk town on the main road north. A highway hotel serves rotti, ennegai and rice, and for a small group it is a calm place to eat. The Urbania parks at the door so elders step down easily. Forty minutes, then 145 km to Gulbarga. Water bottles are refilled here, since the afternoon run is long and warm.

Bhima river
Jewargi, 625 km out, lies near the Bhima, and the road crosses the river close to the town. Most Urbania groups keep moving, stopping only if someone needs the washroom. Gulbarga is 45 km on, under an hour. The Krishna and the Bhima both flow through this district, which explains the wide farm plains on both sides of the road. Elders who want a restroom should use it here rather than wait for the city traffic ahead.

Arrival
The Urbania reaches Gulbarga after about thirteen and a half hours of driving, spread over two days. The driver drops the group at your hotel; the easy step helps elders down. Gulbarga was the first capital of the Bahmani kingdom, and Kannada and Urdu are both spoken widely. November to February is the gentle season. Carry tur dal home from this district. Ask the driver for the next morning's start time before the luggage goes up.

The road distance is about 670 km each way, about 1,340 km for the round trip. The Urbania goes by Channarayapatna, Arsikere and Chitradurga, then NH50 via Kudligi to Hosapete, and on through Kushtagi, Lingasugur and Jewargi. About 14 to 14.5 hours of driving, done in two days with a night at Hosapete.
For 8 or 9 people, the 10 seater. See every size on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore. Gulbarga with 16 people: the 16 seater. For 10 to 13, the 12 or 13 seater.
No. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
Over two days, yes. North Karnataka summers are hot, so the AC Urbania helps.
Yes. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
A night allowance applies when driving goes past 10 pm; we show it in your quote.
Only the first hour. Dasara falls in September or October, and the city then has diversions and one way rules around the palace and the centre. With a 5 am start we usually clear the city before the crowds, and we check the traffic advisory the evening before. The rest of the route is unaffected.
We do not advise it with elders. The return is about 14 to 14.5 hours of driving, and a night run tires everyone, including the driver. Two days with a night at Hosapete or Chitradurga is safer and more comfortable. Tell us your return date and we will plan the halts.
