One point pickup
The mini bus picks up the temple group of twenty at one point in Mysuru at 5. Dasara crowds in September or October bring diversions on the city exits, so on those dates allow extra time to gather. The road follows the expressway to Srirangapatna, turns off at Pandavapura for KR Pet, then runs to Channarayapatna. Tonight's halt is Hosapete, 375 km away. Keep the aisle clear; bags go at the back.

Tea and restroom
The mini bus takes its first break after 85 km at Channarayapatna, where the group can stretch, sip tea and use the washrooms. Nuggehalli, about 20 km away, has the 13th century Lakshmi Narasimha and Sadashiva temples with Hoysala carving, a pilgrim stop for another trip. Fifteen minutes for tea; a mini bus pulls in easily at the highway hotels. Vehicles here carry the KA 13 code of Hassan district. Arsikere, for breakfast, is 55 km on.

Breakfast and fuel
At Arsikere, 140 km out in coconut country, the group eats breakfast while the driver fills fuel and checks the water. The Devamma temple at T Kodihalli is about 10 km away, and Javagal, with a Lakshminarasimha temple, about 33 km; both suit a temple group on a slower plan. Thirty minutes for twenty people. Chitradurga is 105 km on through flat, dry land, and the mini bus keeps an even speed.

Lunch
Lunch comes at Chitradurga, 245 km from Mysore, a fort city whose hills carry rows of wind turbines. The Murugha Matha is listed among the city's places, and Chandravalli caves, with Iron Age finds, lie about 3 km from the fort, both for a slower trip. Jowar roti meals are the regional lunch. After 45 minutes the mini bus takes NH50 towards Hosapete, about 125 km via Kudligi. Refill water before leaving; the afternoon run is long and warm.

Night halt
The group sleeps at Hosapete, 375 km from Mysore, on the bank of the Tungabhadra. The town has a large market and is the place to stock up before the smaller towns ahead. Ballari is about 60 km away. We choose one hotel with space for the mini bus, so the morning start is quick. Kanakagiri is 55 km on, via Gangavathi, so the temple can be done in the cool morning.

Tea
Next morning the mini bus stops at Gangavathi, 410 km out, for fifteen minutes of tea and a restroom break before the temple. The taluk is rich in Ramayana sites; Pampa Sarovar and Sangapur lake are on the list, and the Chikkabenakal caves are here too. A mini bus fits on the main road. Kanakagiri is 20 km on, and the group should be ready at the temple before the late morning crowd.

Drop near the temple
Nine and a half hours of driving, split by the Hosapete night, end at Kanakagiri. The mini bus waits on the broader road outside the old centre, and the group walks the short distance in, since the inner streets are tight. Shoes and bags stay on board. Dress modestly. The royal bath of 1586, built by Raja Venkatappa Nayaka, is on the edge of town if the group has time after darshan.

Kanakagiri is about 430 km from Mysore, so about 860 km for the round trip. The mini bus takes Channarayapatna, Arsikere and Chitradurga, then NH50 to Hosapete and the road via Gangavathi. It needs about 9.5 hours of driving, so the group stays a night at Hosapete.
The 20 seater. See mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, Hampi is close to Hosapete; plan an extra day.
Yes, quoted when you ask. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
Yes, with parking, at the real cost.
Only if the driver drives through the night; we halt at Hosapete instead. That comes to ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Only at the very start. The ten festival days in September or October bring police barricades and one way loops around the palace, and twenty people gathering at one point can be delayed. We read the city traffic advisory the evening before and, if needed, move the boarding point outside the core. Once past Srirangapatna, the drive north is unaffected.
Yes. The night at Hosapete keeps each day manageable, and we halt every two hours or so. Seat elders in the front rows of the mini bus. At Kanakagiri the walk from the parking to the temple is short but the lanes are crowded on fair days, so keep elders with a younger member.
