Pickup
Expect the Urbania at your door, or at any meeting point you name in Mysuru, at 6:00 am. Should your family come back during Dasara, every night of the festival the palace glows with close to 100,000 bulbs from seven till ten, a lovely slow drive past. Each person brings one medium bag for the rear luggage space. We head west on the Hunsur highway and then north on SH57 from Bilikere; Humcha is around six and a half hours away with halts.

Tea halt
First tea halt is KR Nagar, roughly 40 km from Mysore, fifteen minutes long. The canteen at the bus station starts pouring tea around six, and the town's vegetarian eateries open near seven, so idli is already steaming. A few Kerala style places in town serve fish and meat, if anyone prefers a heavier start. Our Urbania waits by the main road. Hassan is about 80 km further along SH57, a quiet two lane road.

Breakfast
Breakfast falls at Hassan, near the 120 km mark, in a family restaurant where the driver knows the owner and the group gets a corner to itself. Order kadubu, the steamed rice dumpling, with a cup of filter coffee. Hoysala lovers should keep Doddagaddavalli in mind for another weekend; its Lakshmi Devi shrine dates to 1114 AD and has four sanctums. Half an hour is plenty here. Kadur is roughly 80 km north, through farmland.

Short halt
A short pause at Kadur, around 200 km out, lets the younger ones stretch their legs while grandparents rest in the cool cabin. This town ran its own district until 1865 and now trades in areca nut and coconut from the surrounding farms. Monsoon clouds mostly spend themselves on the western hills, so Kadur stays fairly dry and the highway is rarely slick. Shivamogga, where lunch is planned, is about 75 km away via Bhadravathi.

Lunch
At roughly 275 km the Urbania pulls up at a Shivamogga (Shimoga) hotel for lunch, parking right at the door. Forty minutes covers the meal. Bird lovers sometimes ask about Mandagadde, a seasonal nesting site on the Thirthahalli side, where sightings come and go. The city gets most of its rain between June and early October. After lunch the Urbania leaves the highway for the Ripponpet road; Humcha lies about 55 km ahead, a little over an hour.

Restroom halt
Ripponpet, about 315 km out, is a ten minute halt before the last stretch. The town is the turn for Humcha, about 15 km on, in Hosanagara taluk. The Humcha Rathayatra, in March or April, fills these roads with pilgrims, so the Urbania allows extra time in that season. Small hotels in Ripponpet serve akki rotti and kadubu. Elders can stay seated in the AC while the others use the restroom.

Temple arrival
After about 7 to 7.5 hours on the road, halts included, the Urbania reaches Humcha, and the driver parks close to the temple area. Humcha, also written Hombuja, is a Jain pilgrim village at roughly 644 m. Apart from the main shrines, smaller basadis such as Kshetrapala, Bogar and Makkala lie a short walk apart. Dress modestly, and ask the matha office about prasada meals and rooms for the night.
Need a Mysore to Humcha Force Urbania for 8 to 16 people, with elders on a Jain pilgrimage? It is comfortable over the long day and the narrow Malnad stretch. We arrange Force Urbania on rent in Mysore with a driver at Tejas Tours & Travels.

Humcha lies near 330 km from Mysore, which means about 660 km for the whole trip. The Urbania follows SH57 to Hassan, crosses Kadur to Shivamogga and then takes the smaller Ripponpet road into Hosanagara taluk. With breakfast, lunch and short halts, plan on six and a half hours at the wheel.
A one way drop to Humcha is quoted on request, ₹2 a km above the return rate.
If the Humcha Urbania runs past 10 pm, the night allowance is ₹700 a night.
On the 330 km road to Humcha, parking, tolls, permits and GST are added at actuals.
Yes, with breaks. We suggest a night at Humcha and an easy return the next day.
The 16 seater, with two seats free. Every size is listed on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
The highway to Shivamogga stays good. From Shivamogga to Ripponpet and Humcha the road is narrower and runs through Malnad, which gets heavy rain from June to early October. The Urbania drives it slowly and in daylight. October to March gives dry roads and clear weather.
Yes. The rear space takes one medium bag per person, and pooja items or fruit baskets can sit in a box on top. Keep a small bag at the seat with water, medicines and a shawl. If the group stays a night in Humcha, pack the night clothes on top so the big bags need not be opened.
