Group pickup
Pilgrims board the tempo traveller at 5:30 am wherever the group has agreed to gather, and the van is past the city edge before the office traffic. Kammasandra lies roughly 240 km off, close to five hours with breaks. Children who want the Mysore zoo after the trip should know it shuts on Tuesdays and opens 8:30 am to 5:30 pm on other days. Puja items and water ride in the cabin, bags in the back.

Tea
Mandya, 45 km from Mysore, has more jaggery units than any other district of the state, small cane crushing sheds called alemanes dotted through the fields. The tempo traveller stops fifteen minutes for tea on the expressway service road; a block of jaggery from a roadside shop makes a good gift or offering. Cane trucks are common on this stretch in the crushing season. The van then rejoins the expressway towards Bidadi, about 65 km on.

Breakfast
Thatte idli joints used to line the old road between Kumbalgodu and Bidadi, and a few still serve the broad plate idli to travellers. Breakfast for the tempo traveller group is here, after about 110 km, twenty minutes on the service road. The town also has a big amusement park, Wonderla, which children may point out; that is a separate outing. After breakfast NICE Road takes the van round the south of the city towards Hoskote.

Tea
By Hoskote, about 175 km from Mysore, the city sprawl has spread right along Old Madras Road, so traffic thickens before the town. The Chennai expressway starts here, but the van stays on NH75 towards Kolar after a quarter hour for chai at a roadside hotel with space to pull in. Beyond, the four lane highway is fast and less crowded, and Kolar is about 35 km on. Use the restroom here, as the temple area has limited facilities.

Tea
Kolar, about 210 km out, is the district town for this trip. Kolar Gold Fields, the old mining township, lies about 30 km south east, close to Kammasandra, and the district milk union is one of the large dairies of the state. The tempo traveller stops fifteen minutes for tea and water. Fuel and ATMs are in town too, so settle them before the temple, where the shops sell mostly puja items.

Drop at the temple
Kammasandra is reached about five hours after Mysore. The temple's story was made into a Kannada film, Sri Manjunatha, which many visitors remember. The driver leaves the van in the temple parking, and the group walks in with the puja items. The complex has a guest house and halls attached, and Kammasandra is about 7 km from KGF. Keep footwear in the van and agree on a meeting time. Water and caps help on the open grounds.

Yes. The expressway, NICE Road and NH75 drain well, and the Kolar plateau gets moderate rain. Heavy evening rain slows the city stretch more than anything else, so the tempo traveller crosses it in the morning. The temple grounds are open, so carry umbrellas in the rainy months.
Yes. The drive is about five hours with breaks every hour or so, and the van parks at the temple parking. Children enjoy the rows of lingas, and the grounds are flat but large, so elders should walk at their own pace and rest in the shade. Keep water and snacks in the cabin.
