Doorstep start
Kanakagiri is 430 km north, a full day by car, so the driver reaches your door at 5:30. Pickup can be your house, a hotel in Mysuru or Mandakalli airport. He keeps to NH275 until Srirangapatna, then forks off at Pandavapura towards KR Pet. Plan any shopping for the evening you come back, but remember Mysore shops and most restaurants close before 10 pm. Water bottles and a cap for each person help on the hot stretch north of Chitradurga.
Quick tea
At 85 km, Channarayapatna gives the car its first tea halt, some two hours in. The Chennigaraya temple, a Vishnu shrine, gave this NH75 town its name. Anekere village close by keeps a Chennakeshava temple from Hoysala times, a detour for another weekend. Ten minutes is plenty for a family. Kanakagiri still lies 345 km away, and Arsikere, for breakfast, about 55 km on, so nobody should eat too much here.
Breakfast
Breakfast happens at Arsikere, 140 km from the start, a junction town in coconut country. The Veerabhadra Swami temple at Jajur sits about 2 km from the centre if someone wants a quick darshan after eating. Tender coconut stalls line the main road. Fifteen minutes suits four people, and the driver checks fuel and tyre pressure, since Chitradurga is 105 km on with few good pumps between. The day's longest leg comes later, from Chitradurga to Hosapete.
Lunch and the fork
Chitradurga, 245 km out, is the lunch halt and the point where the road forks. NH48 runs on to Davangere, but the car takes NH50, which branches off here towards Kudligi and Hosapete. Jowar roti plates are the north Karnataka lunch. The rock hills round the city carry wind turbines, and Jogi Matti, the highest of them, rises 5 km south. Half an hour, then the 130 km run to Hosapete through dry country.
Tea or a night
Hosapete, 375 km out, is the headquarters of Vijayanagara district on the Tungabhadra. Krishnadevaraya built it in 1520 and named it for his mother Nagamma. A tea halt of twenty minutes works for a family going straight on; if the day has been long, a night here is easy, as the town has a large market and many hotels. Stock up on water and snacks. Kanakagiri is 55 km on, by Gangavathi.
Paddy country
Gangavathi, 410 km from Mysore, is a market town on the north side of the Tungabhadra. Its taluk holds many Ramayana linked spots; Pampa Sarovar is the best known, and Sangapur lake is listed among them too. Hemagudda, about 12 km away, has a 14th century fort and a Durga temple that celebrates Dasara. A car can stop ten minutes for tea, but Kanakagiri is only 20 km on, so most families keep going.
Temple town drop
The car pulls into Kanakagiri about 9 to 9.5 hours after Mysore. It is a small temple town in Koppal district, so the driver drops you near the temple street and parks where the lanes widen. Dress simply for darshan. Rooms are limited in the town itself, so many families stay at Gangavathi or Hosapete and come back for the temple. The Jain temples of Kanakagiri tirth are said to date from the Western Ganga period.
Kanakagiri temple visit with elders? A Mysore to Kanakagiri cab suits the family. Kanakagiri pickup from home, a Mysuru hotel or the airport. Book a Mysore to Kanakagiri taxi through cab rental in Mysore. A car covers the road via Chitradurga and Hosapete faster, and Hampi is easy to add.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Kanakagiri is about 430 km from Mysore, about 860 km for the round trip. The cab goes via Channarayapatna, Arsikere and Chitradurga, takes NH50 to Hosapete and then the road through Gangavathi. By car it is about 9 to 9.5 hours with halts, so leave by 5:30 am to arrive in daylight.
Innova Crysta. See cab rental in Mysore.
Only if the driver drives late at night; then a night allowance is added. It is shown in the quote. The cab night bata is ₹400.
They are extra. Tolls, parking, permits and GST are added at actual cost.
Yes, it is next to Hosapete.
Yes, on request. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
April and May are very hot around Hosapete and Gangavathi, and the stretch from Chitradurga is open, dry country. The cab has AC, but halts in the sun are tiring. October to March is the season for this region. In summer, start at 5:30 am and keep temple visits to the morning or evening.
Yes, with breaks. We stop at Channarayapatna, Arsikere, Chitradurga and Hosapete, so no stretch runs more than about two hours. Pack snacks, water and a change of clothes. If the children tire, the car can stop for the night at Hosapete and finish the last 55 km in the morning.
