Pickup at your door
We pick up the family from two or three homes in Mysuru, load bags at the back and set off before six. If relatives arrive early, Chamundi Hill, about 13 km from the city with the Chamundeshwari temple on top, is a good start to a pilgrim trip. The traveller leaves the Hunsur road at Bilikere and takes the quieter SH57 through KR Nagar and Holenarasipura towards Hassan. Horanadu is about 260 km away, about five hours with halts.
Breakfast
Breakfast is at KR Nagar, about 40 km from Mysore. The bus station canteen opens at about six and vegetarian eateries soon after, so the family eats in thirty minutes. Tea shops sell Osmania biscuits for the road. The Arkeshwara temple at Hale Yedatore, on the Kaveri about 4 km away, has steps to the bathing ghats, if anyone wants a dip on the way back. Holenarasipura is about 45 km on.
Tea and fuel
Hassan comes up at roughly 115 km, and the driver pulls into a pump for diesel while the family has a fifteen minute tea break. Strong Malnad filter coffee is served almost everywhere. Pilgrims who travel around Deepavali may find the Hasanamba temple open, since it opens its doors only once a year for about ten to fourteen days, and the city is packed then. Once the tank is full, the traveller leaves the national highway and points north west, towards Belur.
Temple halt
An hour in Belur gives the family time for the Chennakeshava temple without hurrying elders. The traveller parks a short walk from the gate. Since 2023 this temple, together with Halebidu and Somanathapura, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is no entry fee, and footwear is left with the attendant outside. Ask the children to count the dancers on the 38 bracket figures under the roof. After the visit, Mudigere and lunch are about 35 km further into the hills.
Lunch
Lunch in Mudigere, about 185 km from Mysore, takes the family around 45 minutes. Kadubu, steamed rice dumplings, and akki rotti are the dishes to ask for in this coffee town. A rough side road climbs some 20 to 25 km to Devaramane, a grassy hill with an old Kalabhairava temple, best saved for a free day. The traveller takes diesel here, because pumps are scarce on the Kalasa side. Kottigehara, where that road branches off, is about 16 km on.
Drive through
No halt is planned in Kalasa, about 250 km out, since the temple is only around 9 km beyond. The town sits inside a loop of the Bhadra, and from here the road keeps close to the river under tall forest. Kudremukh township lies about 20 km away in the other direction if the family adds it on the return. The national park starts around Kalasa and covers about 600 sq km, so watch for monkeys on the road.
Temple drop
The tempo traveller drops the family close to the temple steps after about five hours. Horanadu is a temple village, and the Annapoorneshwari temple serves free meals all day, with lunch from about noon. Men take off shirt and vest before entering; carry a towel or shawl. The temple runs lodges for pilgrims, and rooms go fast on weekends and festivals, so the family books ahead. The traveller parks nearby for the night.
Need a Mysore to Horanadu tempo traveller for 9 to 20 people to visit the Annapoorneshwari temple? The road to Horanadu (Horanad) runs via Hassan, Belur and Kalasa, around 260 km from Mysuru. You stop when the children need a break. Our van for Horanadu comes to your home in Ramakrishnanagar or your home in Vijayanagar. Book a tempo traveller on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

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. 👍

It is about 260 km one way and about 520 km there and back. The tempo traveller runs through KR Nagar, Hassan, Belur and Mudigere, then turns at Kottigehara for Kalasa. Plan on about 5.5 to 6 hours with breakfast, Belur and lunch.
Yes. Sringeri is around 70 km from Horanadu via Kudremukh. It adds a long evening or a day.
If the Horanadu tempo traveller runs past 10 pm, the night allowance is ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
On the 260 km road to Horanadu, tolls, parking, permits and GST are added at actuals.
A one way drop to Horanadu is quoted on request, ₹2 a km above the return rate.
The 16 seater; two seats are left for bags. See every size on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
From Kottigehara the road to Kalasa is about 41 km of narrow bends through estates, and from Kalasa to Horanadu about 9 km along the Bhadra through forest. A tempo traveller manages it well at a slow pace. In heavy rain the river can rise, so we check the road the evening before in the monsoon.
Keep temple clothes on top of the bags, a dhoti or full pants for men, a shawl for the shoulders, and saree or salwar for women. Carry umbrellas and a change of dry clothes. Keep medicines and snacks for children in a hand bag. The temple feeds everyone, so you need little food beyond snacks.
