Pickup
The Urbania collects the group at 5:30 am, at Mysore railway station or at hotels around Nazarbad, whichever suits. The station has lifts and escalators, which helps elders arriving by train with bags. In Dasara, on Vijayadashami, traffic for Bengaluru has been sent out by Fountain Circle, Tipu Circle and the old Mysuru road, so on that day the driver plans the exit in advance. Elders take the front seats. Kurnool, the first night, is about 505 km away.

Ring road and breakfast
The Urbania goes round Bangalore, about 145 km from Mysore, on NICE Road, which runs round the south west of the city from Mysore Road to Tumkur Road, and then joins NH44 north. On the airport road the Sadahalli junction is the only signal between Hebbal and the airport, and an underpass is being built there, so expect a short wait. Breakfast is at a quiet highway restaurant beyond it, twenty five minutes, with the van parked by the door.

Tea
Penukonda, around 280 km out, is a tea and restroom halt for the group. The town lies on the Bengaluru road some 70 km before Anantapur. Close to the road stands Gagan Mahal, a palace built in 1575 as a summer retreat, mixing Hindu and Muslim styles; elders can see it after a short walk from the van. The old fort walls of the Vijayanagara period run round the town. Twenty minutes, and the Urbania moves on for lunch.

Lunch
Anantapur, about 355 km from Mysore, is lunch for the group. Millets such as jowar, bajra and ragi are the daily grains here, and a ragi dish is a light choice for elders. The district is the driest part of Andhra Pradesh, with only about 508 mm of rain in a normal year, so the midday sun is strong; keep elders in the shade and carry water. Forty minutes, then about 150 km to Kurnool.

Night halt
The Urbania reaches Kurnool, about 505 km from Mysore, in the evening. The city is the fifth most populous in Andhra Pradesh and sits at about 273 m, so evenings are warm. Ask for a hotel with a lift and quiet rooms. Orvakal rock garden, about 25 km out, is a pleasant hour among rock formations for a group that comes back this way with time. Tomorrow is about 385 km to Nizamabad, a shorter day.

Breakfast
Breakfast on day two is at Jadcherla, around 615 km from Mysore. Asian Highway 43 and NH167 both pass through the town, and state highways branch off here to Nalgonda and Wanaparthy, so the junction is busy; the Urbania stops at a hotel a little away from it. A seated breakfast suits elders, and the larger places have clean restrooms. Twenty five minutes, then around 100 km to the Hyderabad ring road, where the van turns north.

Tea
Hyderabad is about 715 km from Mysore, and the Urbania does not enter the old city. A tea halt of twenty minutes at a highway restaurant gives elders a break. If the group returns this way with a free day, Hussain Sagar lake, in the north of the city centre, makes an easy evening, and Laad Bazaar near the Charminar is the place for bangles. Kamareddy and lunch are about 120 km on.

Lunch
Lunch is at Kamareddy, around 835 km from Mysore, the headquarters of its district on NH44. The Hyderabad ring road is roughly 120 km behind and Nizamabad about 55 km ahead. A group of ten or twelve is served quickly at a highway hotel, and the Urbania parks close, so elders walk only a few steps. There is nothing to see on this stretch, so elders can nap after the meal. Forty minutes is enough, as the afternoon drive is short.

Night halt
The Urbania gets to Nizamabad, around 890 km out, by mid afternoon, and the group rests here for the second night. Long ago the town was called Induru; Nizamabad means the City of the Nizam. The Rashtrakuta fort, topped by the Qilla Ramalayam temple, is about 2 km from Gandhi Chowk, though its climb suits younger travellers better than elders. Ask the hotel for mild Telangana meals. Karanja is around 295 km away tomorrow.

Breakfast
Nanded, close to 1,000 km from Mysore, gives the group a quiet breakfast halt on day three. By the Godavari stands Hazur Sahib, a Sikh takht raised between 1832 and 1837, and its langar welcomes everyone; elders find the calm a good start to the last day. The Urbania drops the group near the gate and waits. The river divides the city, with Old Nanded on the north bank and New Nanded on the south. Forty minutes, then about 125 km to Washim.

Lunch
Washim, around 1,125 km from Mysore, is the lunch halt for the group. Elders who wish for a darshan before Karanja can visit the Balaji temple, one of the known sights here, with the Urbania dropping them at the gate. The town also has an old tank, Padmatirtha, and a pair of Jain temples. Lunch is a seated Maharashtrian meal, forty minutes in all. From here Karanja is around 60 km, the final hour, on a quieter district road.

Arrival
Karanja Lad is reached around midday on day three, roughly 25 to 25.5 hours at the wheel since Mysore, spread over three days. Saint Karanj gave the town its name. The Urbania pulls into the parking beside the temples, and the driver carries the bags to the dharamshala for elders. Pilgrim groups fill the dharamshalas quickly, so book ahead. A light Maharashtrian thali or a plate of poha suits elders after the drive, followed by a rest before any temple visit.

No. The ₹40/km covers fuel, driver and AC; tolls, parking and GST are separate. Also extra: the Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Maharashtra entry permits.
By the Outer Ring Road. From Shamshabad on the south side, the ring road leads round the city to the Nizamabad highway, so the van never enters the old city traffic. We plan to pass it in the late morning of day two, after the office rush. On the way back you can still stop in the city for a meal or shopping if you wish.
Yes. The days are about 505, 385 and 295 km, so the longest is the first, and each night is in a hotel. Seat elders in the front rows, carry medicines in a hand bag, and ask the hotels for a lift or ground floor rooms. Restroom halts come every two hours or so, and the short second day ends in Nizamabad in the afternoon.
