Pickup in Mysuru
Elders in the group can board at 5:30 at your home, a hotel or the railway station; the Urbania's low step makes it easy. For the day you return, keep an hour for Devaraja market by the station, a warren of flower, fruit and kumkum stalls. Our route skips the city centre, rides the expressway past Srirangapatna and bends off at Pandavapura towards KR Pet. Kollur lies about nine hours ahead, broken by five gentle halts so nobody sits too long.
Breakfast
The first proper halt comes at KR Pet, 55 km out, where elders eat breakfast without hurry for about twenty five minutes. Hoysala builders left temples in many villages around this Mandya taluk town. At Govindanahalli nearby, the Panchalingeshwara temple has five shrines in a row, built around 1238 and protected as a national monument, a peaceful visit for a slower return. The driver keeps the Urbania's AC running while the group eats. Channarayapatna is about 40 km on.
Tea
Channarayapatna, on NH75 about 95 km from Mysore, gives elders a second break, fifteen minutes for tea and the restroom. The town stands roughly 845 m up, so mornings are pleasant here. For a later trip, Nuggehalli about 20 km away keeps two 13th century Hoysala temples, Lakshmi Narasimha and Sadashiva, with fine carving. Sugarcane and coconut fields line the road beyond. Arsikere is 60 km ahead, and the Urbania keeps a smooth, unhurried pace.
Tea
By the time the Urbania reaches Arsikere, 155 km from Mysore, the land is all coconut palms. Two national highways, NH73 and NH69, cross here, and we follow NH69 onward. The Sahasrakuta Jinalaya, a Jain building from 1220, stands near the main road for anyone curious. Elders can stay seated with the AC on while the others fetch tea and tender coconut. Fifteen minutes, then about 95 km to Shivamogga for lunch.
Lunch
Shivamogga, called Shimoga by most travellers, is the lunch halt, 250 km out. The city on the Tunga is the gateway to the Malnad hills. Shivappa Nayaka palace, a museum on the river bank built by the Keladi ruler, is open about 10 am to 5 pm and closed on Fridays, if the group wants a short look after lunch. Forty minutes for lunch. Hosanagara is about 65 km on, and Kollur 115 km.
Restroom halt
Hosanagara, 315 km from Mysore, is the last halt before the hill road to Kollur. Fifteen minutes for tea and the restroom, so elders are comfortable for the final 50 km. Nagara fort is about 17 km from the town. The Malnad food of this taluk is akki rotti and kadubu, gentle on the stomach for elders after a long day. The road ahead narrows, and the driver keeps the pace easy on the bends.
Drop near the temple
About nine hours after Mysore the Urbania stops near the Mookambika temple in Kollur, as close as the street allows, and the easy step helps elders down. The village sits in the Western Ghats of Udupi district. Modest, traditional clothes are expected, and no photographs may be taken inside. Doors open early, around five, and close around nine at night, with an afternoon pause on some days. Temple guest houses suit elders who want to stay close.
Is a Mysore to Kollur Mookambika Force Urbania worth it for elders on the long road? On a nine-hour drive with a forest ghat at the end, the reclining seats and smooth ride really help. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore. We pick up from your Mysuru home, a hotel or the railway station.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

The road distance is about 365 km each way, about 730 km for the round trip. The Urbania goes by KR Pet, Channarayapatna, Arsikere and Shivamogga (Shimoga), then Hosanagara to Kollur. Allow about 9 hours with the halts; most groups reach Kollur by mid afternoon.
They are billed on top. At ₹40/km, 3 days, 900 km come to ₹38,100; our driver gets ₹2,100. Tolls, parking and GST follow at actual.
It is winding but short. The Urbania is steady and we stop if needed.
Yes, when you ask for it. A drop-only trip is priced ₹2 a km above the return rate.
The 10 or 12 seater. All sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
For Kollur Mookambika, a return after 10 pm brings the night allowance of ₹700 a night.
It can be. Mysore winter mornings are cool, and with the Urbania's AC on, elders feel it in the first hours. Keep a shawl or light jacket in the hand bag. By the time we reach Arsikere it warms up. October to March is still the most comfortable season for Kollur.
Suitcases go in the space at the back of the Urbania, and small bags fit near the seats. For a two or three day temple trip, one medium bag each is enough. Keep the darshan clothes, medicines and water in a hand bag, so nobody has to open the big bags at halts.
