Pickup
At 6:00 am the van stops at one or two places you choose in Mysuru, perhaps a relative's house in Bogadi and then a lodge by the palace. Families visiting from elsewhere often keep the Jaganmohan and Lalitha Mahal palaces for the day after they return, so leave an afternoon free. Bags ride at the back. Our route follows the Hunsur highway out of the city and turns off north at the big Bilikere signboard. KR Nagar comes after roughly 40 km.

Tea halt
Fifteen minutes at KR Nagar, around 40 km out, gives the group tea and the washroom. Across the river, Saligrama has the Yoga Narasimha temple and a link with Sri Ramanujacharya; it became a taluk of its own in 2020. Pilgrim families sometimes add it on the return. The van waits on the main road. From here it is about 80 km on SH57 through Holenarasipura to Hassan for breakfast.

Breakfast
Hassan, roughly 120 km from Mysore, is the breakfast stop. Fifteen people share two tables at a hotel where the van parks in front. Ragi mudde with green curry fills the hungry, and dosa suits the rest. The Shettihalli church in the Gorur backwaters, about 22 km away, stands half under water from about July to October and on dry ground in summer, a fine side trip on a free day. Thirty minutes, then Kadur.

Tea halt
Fifteen minutes at Kadur, around 200 km out, cover tea and snacks. At roughly 760 m and on the dry side of the hills, the town is often sunny while the Humcha side is under cloud. Stalls near the KSRTC stand serve tea and biscuits quickly. Rows of coconut and areca line NH69 here, a hint that the Malnad belt is close. Lunch at Shivamogga lies about 75 km on, and Humcha around 130 km.

Lunch
Lunch is in Shivamogga, still Shimoga on older signboards, about 275 km from Mysore. The van stops at a hotel with a hall where the group eats together. Kuvempu University is about 20 km from the city, and the poet's house at Kuppalli near Thirthahalli is a museum, for literature lovers on another trip. Forty minutes here, then the van leaves the highway for the Ripponpet road; Humcha is about 55 km on.

Restroom halt
Ripponpet, roughly 315 km from Mysore, gets a ten minute washroom halt. This small market town is the gateway to Humcha, now only about 15 km away. Anyone who skipped lunch can order akki rotti at a little hotel near the bus stop. Nagara fort, an old hill fort about 17 km from Hosanagara, suits a history minded family on another day. The road ahead narrows between paddy and forest, so the driver eases off.

Temple arrival
About 7.5 to 8 hours of driving, halts included, bring the van to Humcha. It parks close to the temple area, so grandparents have only a short walk. The village is a calm Jain pilgrim centre at roughly 644 m in Hosanagara taluk. Ask at the matha office about darshan timings, prasada and rooms before the group spreads out. In March or April the yearly Rathayatra of Parshwanatha and Padmavati packs the lanes with devotees.

October to March is pleasant and dry. The Rathayatra in March or April is the big festival, worth seeing but crowded, so book rooms early if you go then. From June to early October the Malnad rain is heavy around Hosanagara taluk, and the village lanes get muddy.
Yes. The drive has four halts, so children get out every hour or so. Keep snacks and water at the seats, because the shops after Shivamogga are small. At Humcha the temples are close together and the van parks nearby. A change of clothes helps in the monsoon.
