Group pickup
Before a temple trip, many groups shop at Devaraja market, the old warren of flower, fruit and kumkum sellers near the station; an hour there the evening before covers the puja list. The tempo traveller then leaves at 5:30 am from one agreed pickup point. Kaivara is about 240 km off, close to five hours with the breaks. Puja bags ride in the cabin and suitcases in the back, so nothing needs unloading at the mutt.
Breakfast
Maddur, 65 km from Mysore, is the tempo traveller's breakfast stop. The flat Maddur vada is said to have first been sold on the railway platform here, and the town is also a tender coconut hub. SH 33 joins the highway in Maddur and leads south to Malavalli and Shivanasamudra, another day's outing. Twenty minutes at a hotel on the old road, which the van reaches by the expressway exit.
Tea
Bidadi, about 110 km out, lists Innovative Film City and the Meher Baba spiritual centre among its sights, and the expressway now passes the town on its own carriageway. The tempo traveller can take the exit for a ten minute tea and restroom stop on the service road, then rejoin. From here the van follows NICE Road round the south of the city towards Hoskote. Wonderla amusement park is close by, a different day out with children.
Tea
About 200 km from Mysore, the tempo traveller reaches Hoskote, the first town on Old Madras Road beyond KR Puram. The van stops fifteen minutes for tea, then turns north east off NH75 for Chintamani and Kaiwara; the national highway itself carries on past Kolar to Mulbagal and the Andhra border. Kaivara Cross is about 35 km ahead on a two lane state road. Fuel is easier to find here than on the village roads ahead.
Village turn
At Kaivara Cross, about 235 km out, the tempo traveller turns off the main road towards the village, which lies roughly 5 km inside. Chintamani, the next town on the main road, sells chakli, nippat and roasted groundnuts, if the group wants snacks for the return. A five minute halt at the junction tea shops is possible. The village road is narrower, so the driver takes it gently. The mutt is only a few minutes away now, so get the puja items ready.
Drop near the mutt
The tempo traveller reaches Kaiwara about five hours after Mysore. The village is in Chikkaballapur district, and the van parks close to the mutt. Chintamani, about 11 km away, has the nearest full set of hotels and fuel, so lunch can be there if the group prefers. Keep footwear in the van during the visit. Set a meeting time with the driver before you walk to the temples, and keep water handy, as the village shops are small.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

It is about 240 km from Mysore to Kaivara one way, about 480 km there and back. The tempo traveller takes the expressway past Maddur and Bidadi, NICE Road round the city to Hoskote, then the Chintamani road to Kaivara Cross. The drive takes about 5 hours with stops.
Simple rooms near the mutt, or hotels in Chintamani roughly 15 km away. The driver stays near your stay.
Yes. One way is ₹2 more per km than a return, with the km fixed in the written quote. Ask and we quote it.
Not included. Tolls, parking and GST at actuals. Two days, 600 km in a 12 seater comes to ₹15,600 at ₹24/km, with ₹1,000 to the driver.
A night allowance for the driver applies only if the drive runs late into the night. The quote lists it. The night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
The 16 seater leaves room for bags. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes. The expressway and NICE Road drain well, and the state road from Hoskote to Kaivara Cross is a decent two lane road. In heavy rain the last 5 km of village road can be muddy at the edges, so the driver keeps to the middle and goes slowly. Carry umbrellas for the walk to the temples.
Yes. It is about five hours each way with breaks every hour or so. Children enjoy the hill and its caves, though the climb needs an adult with them. Pack snacks and water in the cabin, because the village has only small shops.
