Pickup
At 5:30 am the Urbania is at your gate or any meeting point you name in Mysuru. Mysore mallige, the jasmine that carries the city's name, makes a fresh gift to buy on the way home. Our route out is the Hunsur highway as far as Bilikere, then SH57, a calmer state road, to KR Nagar, about 40 km off. Each traveller can bring one medium suitcase; it rides in the rear luggage space, away from the seats, so the cabin stays clear for a long day.

Optional tea
KR Nagar, about 40 km from Mysore, is an optional tea halt. Chunchanakatte falls, where the Kaveri drops about 20 m in two cascades next to an old Kodandarama temple, is about 14 km off by Saligrama. It is a pleasant warm up for a waterfall trip, but Chunchanakatte itself has few amenities, so food and tea are better here in KR Nagar. Ten minutes, then on to Hassan, about 80 km away.

Breakfast
Breakfast is at Hassan, about 120 km out. Ten or twelve people fit at one table, and the Urbania parks close to the door. Ask for akki rotti, the rice flour flatbread, and Malnad filter coffee. The Hoysala temples of the district are near: Halebidu's Hoysaleswara temple carries over 20,000 carvings on its outer walls. That is a separate day trip. Allow half an hour, then the road heads north for Kadur.

Tea halt
Kadur, about 200 km from Mysore, gives the group fifteen minutes. Elders can stay in the AC while the rest buy tea. Kadur Junction is on the railway line to Hubli, 7 km from Birur, if anyone needs a train. The town sits at about 760 m in dry country east of the rain belt. Shivamogga and lunch are about 75 km on, and Jog is still about three hours away for the Urbania.

Lunch
Shivamogga (Shimoga), at about 275 km, is lunch, and the Urbania stops right in front of the restaurant. If a member is flying in to join you, the airport is about 13 km south of the city. Jog, Linganamakki and Mattur all appear on the district's list of sights, which tells you the falls are not far now. Fill diesel here. The next 75 km to Sagar run through areca country, gentle and green, and the group can doze.

Tea halt
Sagar, near the 350 km mark, is the final tea stop before the falls, so take twenty minutes. Old stone fans can ask for Nadakalasi, roughly 8 km off, where 12th century temples show Hoysala touches. Anyone who skipped lunch can order akki rotti or kadubu, the Malnad snacks. The Urbania then follows NH69 for about 30 km to Jog, a road of areca gardens and forest with gentle bends that elders handle easily.

Falls arrival
The Urbania pulls into the Jog car park after roughly 8 to 8.5 hours of driving, halts included. The gate counter collects entry and parking charges, which vary, so carry change. The stairway to the bottom has about 1,400 steps; elders should stay at the upper railings. Water peaks in July and August, though Karnataka Tourism rates August to December as the better window for a mix of flow and dry paths. Keep umbrellas inside the cabin.

July and August, when the Sharavathi is full. The rain is heavy then and the paths are wet, so keep a spare morning in case a downpour spoils the first visit. Karnataka Tourism suggests August to December for a balance of water and clear weather. In summer the falls are thin.
Yes. The Urbania has AC, high roof and individual seats, and the halts at Hassan, Kadur, Shivamogga and Sagar keep each stretch short. Elders can see the falls from the viewpoints near the parking without the steps. Pack warm clothes and medicines in a hand bag, and stay the night in Sagar.
