One boarding point
Fifty pilgrims board at one gate at half past five. Pick a place away from the palace roads, where horse drawn tongas slow the traffic. Day one is about 280 km to Chitradurga, where the group sleeps. Bags, water cans, cooking vessels if you carry your own food, and a first aid box all go in the hold. The coach leaves on the expressway towards Maddur. Keep one leader with the list of names at the door.

Tea halt
An hour or so after boarding, the coach pulls off at Maddur for tea. Its larger eating houses, the ones with a yard for a bus, are in the old market behind the highway. Give the group a quarter of an hour and count everyone back in. Locals call the Shimsha, the river running through the town, Madduru Hole. From here the bus climbs north on State Highway 33 towards Kunigal and Tumakuru, a slower road with two way traffic, so the driver takes it calmly.

Breakfast
For fifty pilgrims, breakfast in Tumkur (Tumakuru) takes forty minutes, so phone the order through while still at Maddur. The driver pulls into a roadside hotel on NH48 that has space to park and turn. The city stands on the plateau near 800 m. About 22 km away rises Siddara Betta, a cave hill tied to a holy man, which some groups visit on the way home. After breakfast the coach heads up NH48, and the next halt is tea at Sira.

Tea halt
Tea for the group is at Sira, close to 200 km from Mysore. The highway town sits at about 662 m, and its broken fort walls are a reminder of older days. The coach waits by the road for fifteen minutes while fifty people take tea and use the washrooms. Sira lies about a third of the way from Tumakuru to Chitradurga, and tonight's hotel is now roughly ninety minutes up the highway, so the group arrives in good time.

Night halt
The pilgrims sleep at Chitradurga, about 280 km from home. Reserve a hotel that can park a coach. If there is light left, the fit members can walk part of the fort, a huge stone fort of seven walls over about 1,500 acres; elders are better resting. The cooler months, October to March, suit it best. Order dinner for fifty while on the road from Sira. In the morning the coach turns off NH48 onto NH50 for Kudligi.

Breakfast
Kudligi, reached about an hour and a half after leaving Chitradurga, is where the group eats breakfast on the second morning; allow forty minutes. A memorial ground in the town, the Mahadeva Mylara, is linked with Gandhi's ashes. The country around is dry and full of tamarind trees. While elders take their tea first, the driver walks round the coach checking the tyres. Hosapete is about 45 km on, past Mariyammanahalli.

Tea halt
At Hosapete, roughly 415 km from Mysore, the coach stops twenty minutes for tea. It keeps to the bypass, as the market streets are packed. Hampi lies just 13 km away, and people here speak Kannada, Urdu and Telugu. From Hosapete NH50 heads north by Kushtagi, about 65 km, and Ilkal to Hungund. Lunch is about two hours away, so everyone should visit the washrooms before the bus moves. The leader buys fruit for the group at the market.

Lunch
Lunch on the second day is at Hungund; with fifty people, keep forty five minutes. Just before the town you pass Ilkal, 12 km south, the home of the Ilkal sari, and many in the group will want to stop there on the drive back. Amingad, near Hungund, makes karadantu, a dry fruit sweet that lasts well on a journey. Order the meal early and seat elders under a fan. Kudalasangama is now only about 20 km away.

Bus parking
Two days and roughly thirteen and a half hours of driving end beside the Basava Aikya Mantapa, where the Krishna and the Malaprabha meet; the bus parks close by. Plain meals are cooked near the temple. Rooms here are few, so book them well before the trip. Agree a single meeting place and a fixed time to return, and leave the bags locked in the coach, which stays as the group's base for the night.

For a coach the run is close to 545 km each way, so near 1,090 km in all. Fifty pilgrims ride by Maddur, Tumkur (Tumakuru) and Sira, sleep in Chitradurga, then take NH50 past Kudligi, Hosapete and Hungund. Bus driving totals some thirteen and a half hours across two days.
The 33 seater fits them with two seats spare. All sizes are on bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes. Plan one extra day; both sites have bus parking outside.
No, they are separate. You pay tolls, parking, permits and GST at actual, with receipts.
A late night return adds the driver night allowance. You see it in the quote first. Rate card figure: ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night.
Yes, quoted when you ask. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
Yes. Apart from the state highway between Maddur and Tumakuru, the route is on national highways, NH48 to Chitradurga and NH50 to Hungund. Town stretches at Hosapete and Hungund are busy, so the driver uses the wider roads. The last stretch to Kudalasangama is a district road that a coach manages at an easy pace.
The hold takes a bag per person plus water cans and cooking vessels. Keep a small bag inside with medicines, snacks and a shawl. Since the group sleeps at Chitradurga before Kudalasangama, pack the night things in one bag so the hold need not be emptied twice.
