Pickup
For Kadiri the Urbania leaves Mysore at 5:30, because the trip is about 315 km and around six and a half hours with halts. In the Dasara weeks of September or October, the city has heavy crowds and traffic diversions near the palace, so in that season we pick you up a little earlier and avoid the centre. The wide door and high roof help elders board. Carry shawls for the early hours and caps for the afternoon. Breakfast is at Bidadi.

Optional halt
Mandya is about 45 km along the expressway. Elders who want tea can stop for ten minutes; the cane juice stalls are often closed this early, so juice is better on the way home. The town lies at about 678 m in the middle of cane fields, and jaggery is the district's own product. Melukote, the hill temple town about 25 km from here, can be a separate pilgrimage another time. Bidadi, the breakfast halt, is about an hour away.

Breakfast
Breakfast is at Bidadi, around 110 km into the drive, and its plate sized thatte idli is soft enough for any elder. The driver slips off the expressway and stops beside the eatery, and twenty minutes is ample. The Meher Baba spiritual centre is also at Bidadi, a quiet place for a visit on some other day. From here the van loops round the city to the airport highway, a long stretch without halts, so elders should use the restroom now.

Optional halt
At Devanahalli, about 180 km out, the Urbania can halt ten minutes for tea and a restroom. The airport is about 5 km away, and its second terminal opened in November 2022, which brought more traffic to this stretch. The Devanahalli toll plaza, the first on NH44 leaving the city, has been in place since 2011. In winter, fog sits here in the early morning; on this schedule it has usually cleared. Chikkaballapur is 20 km on.

Drive on
Chikkaballapur, about 200 km out, is a district town with a long farming past; its name joins chikka, small, and balla, an old grain measure. The Bhoga Nandeeshwara temple, a twin temple from the 9th and 10th centuries, stands at Nandi village near the town, a quiet detour for elders on a return day. Most Urbania trips drive on now. The highway is busy with lorries here, so the driver keeps a steady pace. Bagepalli is about 40 km ahead.

Lunch
Lunch comes at Bagepalli, the border town roughly 240 km from Mysore, where dhabas by the highway serve chapati and rice meals; ask for a shaded table for elders and allow half an hour. Look out at the fields of onion, sunflower and groundnut on the stony soil. The hill fort at Gudibande, in this district, is far too steep for most elders, so it stays off the plan. After lunch the Urbania turns north east, about 75 km from Kadiri.

Temple drop
In Kadiri the Urbania drops elders close to the temple and parks nearby, so the walk is short. The town lies at about 504 m on NH42. Andhra meals are spicy; ask for less chilli when you order. Jasmine is Kadiri's flower, sold fresh near the temple. During the annual Brahmotsavam, with its big chariot festival, the streets are packed, which is hard on elders, so choose a quieter date if you can. The driver waits for the return.
Want a Mysore to Kadiri Force Urbania so elderly parents can make the long temple trip in comfort? AC, a high roof and soft seats help on a seven hour drive. Pickup is from your home or a hotel near Mysuru Palace. Ask for Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.

The 8 or 10 seater. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Yes. The highway crosses into Andhra Pradesh just after Bagepalli, near Kodikonda. Tourist vehicles either hold an all India permit or carry the state permit and pay border tax where it applies; the driver handles this and the cost is shown on the bill. Passengers usually stay seated during the check.
It is possible but long, about 6.5 hours each way. If you leave Kadiri by early afternoon, the Urbania reaches the highway before dark and Mysore late at night. For elders we suggest a night in Kadiri and an early start the next morning; the driver rests while you stay.
