Pickup at your door
At 6 am the Urbania pulls up outside, at the gate, as the van is too tall for most basements. If your trip falls in Dasara, the palace is lit with nearly 100,000 bulbs from 7 pm to 10 pm every night, worth seeing on the evening you return. The temple is about 240 km off, around five hours of driving with breaks. Suitcases go behind the last row, puja items and water in the cabin.

Tea
Melukote, a hill temple town, lies roughly 25 km from Mandya, with the Kikkeri temple and Thirumala Sagar lake nearer still. All three suit a separate day trip from Mysore. Today the Urbania only pauses a quarter hour for chai at Mandya, 45 km from Mysore, on the expressway service road. Cane trucks are common here in the crushing season, so the driver keeps an eye on the slow lane. Bidadi, the breakfast stop, comes in under an hour.

Breakfast
Innovative Film City and the Meher Baba spiritual centre are among the sights listed at Bidadi, about 110 km out. The Urbania group eats breakfast here, thatte idli, the town's broad idli, at a hotel on the service road, about twenty minutes. Then the driver swings onto NICE Road, the tolled ring round the south of the city, and heads for Hoskote, where the open highway east begins. Traffic on NICE Road is light in the morning.

Tea
Hoskote, about 175 km from Mysore, is known for dum biryani served from the early morning, with long queues on Sundays, though police have stopped the eateries near the toll plaza from opening before sunrise. The Urbania halts briefly for chai and the restroom, with the van parked off the main road. NH75 then runs on as a four lane road to Kolar, about 35 km ahead, with little to slow the van.

Tea
Kolar, about 210 km out, celebrates a 13 day Karaga festival in summer, and the Ramalingeshvara temples at Avani, near Mulbagal, belong to the same district. Here the Urbania tops up fuel while the group has tea. NH75 skirts the main town, so the stop needs a short detour, and ATMs are in town too. Kammasandra and the temple are about 30 km on, near KGF, on a smaller district road with village traffic.

Drop at the temple
The Urbania reaches Kammasandra village about five hours after Mysore. The temple complex is large and has a guest house and a meditation hall among its buildings, useful if anyone needs to rest. The van parks close to the entrance, so the walk is short. Keep footwear in the van during darshan, and fix a meeting time with the driver before the group goes in. Shops at the gate sell flowers and puja items.

Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. You see it in the quote first. That comes to ₹700 a night.
Yes, the grounds are flat.
Maha Shivaratri is the main festival, and the temple is very crowded then, with slow traffic on the last stretch from Kolar. Weekends are busier than weekdays. If your group can choose, a weekday morning gives the easiest darshan and easier parking for the Urbania.
The Urbania has space behind the last row for one bag each. For a night in Kolar or KGF, keep a small bag with a change of clothes and puja items in the cabin, so the big bags stay packed. Tell us at booking if you carry large offerings.
