Pickup at home
The Urbania collects your group at 5:30 from home, a hotel or Mysore airport at Mandakalli. Before you leave, note that Mysore's own dosa, the masala dosa with red chutney inside, is a fine breakfast on the evening you return. Our road leaves the expressway at Pandavapura for KR Pet and Channarayapatna, then heads north. Day one ends at Hosapete, 375 km away. Elders sit in the front rows, where the ride is steadiest.

Tea
The Urbania makes its first halt at Channarayapatna after 85 km, for tea and a short walk for the elders, who have been seated since dawn. The Kadabahalli toll plaza on this highway collects for about 40 km of the Hassan stretch, and the Urbania's FASTag makes it quick. Coconut and sugarcane grow all round. Fifteen minutes, then on to Arsikere, 55 km away. Kanakagiri is still 345 km ahead, so we keep the halts short but regular.

Breakfast
Arsikere, 140 km from Mysore, is the breakfast halt. NH73 and NH69 meet near the town, which sits in coconut country. Malekallu Tirupati, a hill temple about 3 km away, has some 1,300 steps, not for this trip. Twenty five minutes lets elders eat without rushing. The driver fills fuel, and the Urbania sets off for Chitradurga, 105 km on. The AC matters from here, as the land gets dry.

Lunch
Chitradurga, 245 km out, is the lunch halt. The city stands at about 732 m, and the fort hills behind it reach about 976 m. Jowar roti meals are the local lunch. Keep about 50 minutes so elders can rest after eating. From here NH50 branches off NH48 to Hosapete, about 125 km via Kudligi and Mariyammanahalli. Seen from the road, the fort walls on the rocks make a good photograph.

Night halt
Evening brings the Urbania to Hosapete, 375 km from Mysore, where the group rests for the night. The town stands beside the Tungabhadra, and Hampi's ruins are only 13 km off, so hotels of every kind line its roads. If any member flies back later, the Jindal airport at Toranagallu is about 30 km away, and Hosapete Junction lies on the Hubballi to Guntakal railway. From October to March the nights here are pleasant. Kanakagiri is 55 km further.

Restroom halt
The second morning starts gently, and after 35 km the Urbania halts at Gangavathi, 410 km from Mysore, so elders can use a restroom. This taluk sits on the north bank of the Tungabhadra, across from Hosapete. Its hill fort at Hemagudda, from the fourteenth century, keeps a Durga shrine that draws crowds at Dasara. Fifteen minutes here, then the final 20 km to Kanakagiri, a flat run through paddy and fields that is easy in the Urbania.

Arrival
Two days and about 9 to 9.5 hours of driving end at Kanakagiri, a quiet temple town of Koppal district. The Urbania stops as near the temple street as space allows, and its low step lets seniors down gently. Modest dress is expected for darshan. The town has only a few rooms and simple eating places, so the night is usually spent back at Gangavathi or Hosapete, where meals are easier to find.

The road distance is about 430 km each way, about 860 km for the round trip. The Urbania runs via Channarayapatna, Arsikere, Chitradurga and NH50 to Hosapete, then Gangavathi. About 9 to 9.5 hours of driving, done in two days with a night at Hosapete.
Only if the driver drives at night. For the Urbania: ₹700 a night.
Tolls, parking and GST.
The 10 or 12 seater suits Kanakagiri. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
We split it with a night at Hosapete.
A one way drop to Kanakagiri is priced on request, ₹2 a km above the return rate.
October to March. The country from Chitradurga to Hosapete is dry and very hot in April and May, which is tiring for elders even with AC. Winter mornings are pleasant here, though the 5:30 am start from Mysore can be cool, so carry a shawl.
We prefer daylight. The return is about 9 to 9.5 hours of driving, so leaving Kanakagiri after an early lunch brings the group to Mysore by night. For elders, a second night at Hosapete or Chitradurga is easier than a late arrival. Tell us your plan at booking and we will set the halts.
