Pickup at your door
The cab picks you up at 6 am from home, a hotel near the palace, the station or the airport at Mandakalli. Many Shiva devotees take darshan of Chamundeshwari on Chamundi Hill, about 13 km from the city, the evening before a temple trip like this. Kotilingeshwara is about 240 km away, roughly four and a half hours with stops, so you arrive by late morning. Tea comes first at Mandya, breakfast at Bidadi.
Tea
The KRS dam, built in 1932 on the Kaveri north west of Mysore, lies in Mandya district, and the city of Mandya comes 45 km from Mysore. For the cab it is just a ten minute tea stop on the expressway service road, since breakfast is planned later. In the afternoon the roadside stalls here press fresh sugarcane juice, a cool break on the drive home. Bidadi, the breakfast stop, is about 65 km ahead on the same expressway.
Breakfast
The broad, soft thatte idli of Bidadi is the cab's breakfast, about 110 km from Mysore. The driver takes the exit to the service road, because the expressway passes the town on its own carriageway. Close by, at Kaniminike, is the toll for the city end of the expressway, paid by FASTag. Twenty minutes for breakfast and coffee, then NICE Road carries the car round the south of the city towards Hoskote, avoiding the centre.
Tea
Old Madras Road begins its open stretch at Hoskote, about 175 km from Mysore, the first town beyond the city's edge. From here NH75 runs as a four lane road with interchanges, bypassing Kolar's main town on the way to Mulbagal and the border. The cab stops ten minutes for tea at a roadside hotel. On Sunday mornings, expect slow traffic near the biryani eateries. Kolar comes about 35 km later.
Temple stop
The Someshwara temple in Kolar town is a well known Vijayanagara period shrine, a fitting short darshan on a Shiva pilgrimage. The cab reaches Kolar, the district headquarters, about 210 km from Mysore; NH75 bypasses the main town, so the stop needs a short detour. Fuel, ATMs and hotels are all here. Twenty minutes is enough. From Kolar a smaller road runs south east towards KGF and the temple village.
Drop at the temple
About 5 to 5.5 hours after leaving Mysore the cab pulls up at Kammasandra village in Kolar district. The temple story was told in the Kannada film Sri Manjunatha, and the complex has its own rooms and halls for pilgrims. Bangarpet and KGF are the nearest towns, for more hotels and fuel. The driver parks at the temple parking and waits. Keep footwear in the car during darshan, and carry water, since the grounds are wide and open.

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.

Kotilingeshwara is about 240 km from Mysore one way, so the round trip is about 480 km. The cab goes up the expressway past Mandya and Bidadi, round the city on NICE Road to Hoskote, then on NH75 to Kolar and the road to Kammasandra village near KGF. Plan on about 5 to 5.5 hours of driving with stops.
Yes, at actual cost.
An Innova. See cab rental in Mysore.
It is a long day by car, about nine hours of driving; possible with an early start.
Yes, quoted when you ask. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
A night allowance for the driver applies only if the drive runs late into the night. Expect ₹400 a night.
Yes, but plan the timing. The temple grounds are open and spread out, and the Kolar plateau gets hot in April and May. Reach by late morning, finish darshan before the afternoon sun, and carry water and caps. The cab road is good all year, and the rains only slow the city stretch.
Yes. The cab can drop elders close to the temple entrance and wait at the parking, so the walking is limited to the temple grounds, which are wide and flat. Seat them in front, carry their medicines and water, and plan the breaks at Mandya, Bidadi and Hoskote so nobody sits more than an hour and a half.
