Pickup at your door
The Urbania picks the group up at 6 am, at the gate, since the van is too tall for most basements. In festival months the Mysore traffic police issue diversions, so check their advisory the evening before. Horsley Hills is about 305 km away, roughly six hours with stops. The suitcases go behind the last row and a small bag with jackets stays in the cabin for the hill. Breakfast is planned at Maddur.
Breakfast
Maddur sits on the Shimsha river, 65 km from Mysore, where SH 33 meets the highway and runs south to Malavalli and Shivanasamudra. The Urbania takes the exit for breakfast on the old road, Maddur vada with coffee for everyone, served quickly at the roadside hotels. Twenty minutes is enough. Next comes the long crossing of Bangalore to reach Old Madras Road, so the driver wants to keep moving and beat the late morning traffic.
Ring road crossing
The Urbania goes round Bangalore, about 145 km out, rather than through it. NICE Road links Mysore Road to the Hosur Road side, and a ring road interchange now joins the Hoskote side with the Hosur corridor, so the van can reach Hoskote without the city centre. Getting onto the Chennai expressway at Hoskote still means a slow stretch of Old Madras Road, but this trip turns off before it. Horsley Hills is about 160 km on.
Tea
Hoskote, about 175 km from Mysore, is known for mutton dum biryani eaten as breakfast by people driving out from Bangalore, though police have stopped the eateries near the toll plaza from opening before sunrise. For the Urbania it is a fifteen minute tea stop at a hotel with front parking. The Chennai expressway starts here; the van instead turns north east towards Chintamani on a quieter state road with fewer trucks.
Tea
Chintamani, about 220 km out, is a taluk headquarters on the Deccan plateau, once part of Kolar district. Kaiwara, with the hill temples and the cave of the poet saint Narayanappa, is about 11 km away, a possible stop on the return. The town's markets are among the biggest in Karnataka for silk and tomatoes. Fifteen minutes for tea, then on through Rayalpadu into Andhra Pradesh towards Madanapalle and lunch.
Lunch
In 1919 Rabindranath Tagore put Jana Gana Mana into English at the Besant Theosophical College in Madanapalle, and the town is now the headquarters of Annamayya district. The Urbania stops here for lunch after about 275 km, forty minutes at a hotel with parking for the van. The road on to Rayachoti and Kadapa starts from here too. After lunch the van heads for the ghat and the cool air on top.
Drop at your stay
After about six hours on the road the Urbania reaches Horsley Hills, a hill station in the Eastern Ghats. Locals call the hill Yenugu Mallamma Konda, after a legend of a saintly old woman. The van stops at the resort or cottages, and the driver parks there for the stay. Evenings are cool, so jackets come out early. Lunch was in Madanapalle, so the group can rest before the evening walk.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

Horsley Hills is about 305 km from Mysore by road, about 610 km for the round trip. The Urbania runs on the expressway to Maddur, goes round Bangalore to Hoskote, then via Chintamani and Madanapalle and up the ghat to the hill. Allow about 6 hours of driving with stops.
No. Horsley Hills: the ₹40/km has fuel, driver and AC in it; GST, tolls and parking are separate. Also extra: the Andhra Pradesh entry permit.
Our partner owners supply it with their driver, at our rate and on our booking.
Yes, quoted when you ask. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
The driver gets a night allowance when the drive goes late into the night. You see it in the quote first. On our Mysore card that is ₹700 a night.
The 12 seater, with room for bags. See the sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Yes. The route has to cross the Bangalore region to reach Hoskote, and weekday peaks and rain evenings slow it badly. The Urbania starts at 6 am and plans the crossing for mid morning. On the return, we avoid entering the Bangalore side in the evening rush, and on long weekends we start earlier.
Mostly yes. The drive is about six hours with breaks every hour and a half to 6 hours, and the van climbs the ghat slowly. At the top, the resort area is spread out, so elders can rest at the cottages while others walk. Keep warm clothes handy, as evenings get cool.
