Group pickup
The mini bus picks up the group at six. Members flying in can be collected at Mysore airport at Mandakalli, about 10 km south of the centre, on the way. Day one is about 280 km to Chitradurga, so the group arrives there by early afternoon. Water cans, bags for four days and a first aid box go in the rear. The mini bus leaves on the expressway towards Maddur.

Snack halt
Maddur, about 65 km out, is the first halt. The mini bus takes the exit to reach the old town, since the new road now skips it. Fifteen minutes for coffee and Maddur vada. The Varadaraja temple here has a tall image of about 12 ft, carved on both sides, for anyone devout. Then the mini bus heads north on the state highway to Kunigal and Tumakuru. Count heads before the mini bus pulls out.

Breakfast
Tumkur (Tumakuru), around 150 km out, is the group's breakfast stop; half an hour serves twenty at a highway hotel with room to park. The name on the boards changed to Tumakuru in 2014, but many still say Tumkur. A large food park, India's first of its kind, came up near the city the same year. Fill the water cans at the hotel. After eating, the mini bus joins NH48 north for Sira and Chitradurga.

Tea break
Sira, near the 200 km mark, is the tea break. In Mughal days it was a provincial capital, and the broken walls of its fort and the dargah of Malik Rihan still stand in town. The driver pulls over by the highway, and a quarter of an hour is enough for twenty people to take tea and use the restrooms. Hiriyur lies 35 to 40 km beyond, and Chitradurga, tonight's stop, roughly ninety minutes away. One head count, and the group moves on.

Night halt
The group stops for the night at Chitradurga, around 280 km from Mysore, arriving early in the afternoon. If everyone is fit, walk the fort before it closes. Entry is through a QR ticket from the ASI; phone signal at the gate is patchy, so buy the tickets online on the way. The mini bus can wait right outside the walls by Gate 3, where there are toilets and drinking water. Next morning the group leaves early on NH50.

Breakfast
Breakfast on day two is at Kudligi, roughly 80 km into the morning's drive. Half an hour for the group. The taluk is famous for tamarind, and it holds a sloth bear reserve at Gudekote, about 38 sq km of scrub, which needs a trip of its own. The town sits at about 596 m. Next, NH50 runs past Mariyammanahalli to Hosapete, roughly 45 km. Elders get their tea first, and the driver checks the tyres for the hot run ahead.

Tea
Hosapete is the mid morning tea stop. The town is on the Tungabhadra, and Hosapete Junction is on the railway between Hubballi and Guntakal. The market is large, so buy fruit and water cans for the rest of the day. Hampi is 13 km away if the group adds a day on the return. From Hosapete the mini bus takes NH50 north towards Kushtagi, Ilkal and Hungund. Twenty people should be back in the mini bus within fifteen minutes.

Lunch
Hungund, on NH50, is where the group eats lunch on the second day; give it forty minutes. The town lies about 20 km short of Kudalasangama, so the meal comes just before arrival. Ilkal, a short way south, weaves the sari that carries its name and also cuts red granite. Amingad, close by, sells karadantu, a dry fruit sweet that keeps for days. Seat elders near the fans while the plates come.

Group arrival
Two days and about twelve hours on the road bring the group to the river. Rooms are scarce, so book them before the trip. The mini bus parks close to the Aikya Mantapa, where the two rivers meet. Food near the temple is plain, so have dinner early. Fix one place to meet and one hour to return before the group spreads out along the bank, and keep the bags locked in the mini bus.
Taking 20 people on a Mysore to Kudalasangama mini bus for a pilgrimage to the river meeting? It is the right size for a sangha group and parks easily near the river shrine. See mini bus on rent in Mysore through Tejas Tours & Travels.

Yes, quoted when you ask. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
The 16 seater does it. See every size on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
No. Toll and parking receipts are added at actual, and GST goes on the final bill.
A night allowance is charged only for late night driving. Our card says ₹600 to ₹700, by size per night.
Many groups stay a night at Hosapete or Chitradurga. Tell us and we add a day.
The plains beyond Chitradurga are hot from March to May, with little shade at the halts. Start each day early, carry water cans and caps, and keep the hottest hours for driving with the AC on. A group of twenty is most at ease in the cooler stretch from October into February.
Seat elders at the front and plan their meals first at each halt. The night at Chitradurga splits the drive into two shorter days. At Kudalasangama the mini bus parks close to the shrine, so elders walk little. Carry their medicines and a shawl for the evening breeze by the river.
