Pickup at your gate
Our tempo traveller pulls up at your gate at six. The first day ends at Chitradurga, roughly 280 km away, so nobody has to rush. In Mysore most eateries and shops pull down their shutters before ten at night, so pick up fruit and snacks for the road the evening before you leave. Suitcases for three or four days fit behind the last row. The van takes the expressway, and the first halt is Maddur, an hour off.

Snack halt
After about 65 km the van turns off at Maddur and goes into the old town for the vada sellers. People here will tell you the vada was first sold on the railway platform, and the children usually want a second one. Lorry loads of tender coconut leave the town every day, so a fresh one costs little. Fifteen minutes, then the tempo traveller climbs the state road north by Kunigal to reach Tumakuru for breakfast.

Breakfast
Tumkur (Tumakuru) is the breakfast halt, about 150 km out. Half an hour for a family of a dozen. The city is a district headquarters on NH48, and NH73 to Mangaluru starts here too, so traffic near the junctions is heavy. If anyone wants a hill outing on the return, Madhugiri, with a huge monolith and a fort, is about 43 km away; the climb takes two to three hours. The van stays on NH48 heading north.

Tea break
Tea is at Sira, close to 200 km from home, a town at about 662 m that was once a Mughal provincial seat. For bird lovers, there is a sanctuary at Kaggaladu, some 10 km off, where painted storks raise their young each year from February into August. Fifteen minutes covers tea and restrooms for the family. Chitradurga, where you sleep tonight, is about 80 km further up NH48, and the children can stretch their legs by the van.

Night at Chitradurga
The family sleeps at Chitradurga, about 280 km from Mysore, arriving in the early afternoon. That leaves time for the fort before closing, usually around 6 pm; wear proper shoes and carry water, as the walk is all rock and steps. Inside, guides show a narrow cleft in the rocks named after Onake Obavva, the guard's wife who is said to have stopped Hyder Ali's men there with a pestle. Next morning the van takes NH50.

Breakfast
Kudligi is the breakfast stop on day two, about 80 km from Chitradurga. Thirty minutes at a highway hotel. Between Chitradurga and Kudligi the road crosses Jagalur taluk. Kudligi has a huge banyan tree, the Maliyammana aaladamara, on the Choornur road, if someone wants a photo. The town's Kottala Anjaneya festival around Ugadi brings big crowds. Hosapete is about 45 km on. Fill the water bottles from the cans in the van while the driver checks the tyres.

Tea break
Hosapete is the tea stop, about 415 km from Mysore. The town was built in 1520 by Krishnadevaraya in his mother's honour. It has a large market, so this is the place to buy fruit and water for the rest of the day. Hampi is 13 km away if the family wants to add it on the way back. The tempo traveller then takes NH50 north through Kushtagi and Ilkal towards Hungund.

Lunch
Lunch on the second day is at Hungund, on NH50 at about 531 m, roughly 525 km from where you started. Keep forty minutes. Twelve km to the south is Ilkal, home of the Ilkal sari and of red granite quarries, a good shopping stop for the women of the family on the way home. Amingad, nearby, is where karadantu, a sweet of dry fruit, is made. Kudalasangama is now a short drive away. The van parks in the shade while the family eats.

Arrival by the river
After roughly eleven hours at the wheel spread across two days, the van stops near the Aikya Mantapa so that seniors have only a few steps to walk. Rooms are few here, so reserve one before leaving home. Plain meals are cooked near the shrine. Where the Krishna and the Malaprabha join, the evening is quiet and the breeze is cool in winter, so keep a shawl. The driver stays close and the van is ready when you are.

The 9 seater is enough, or the 12 seater with lots of bags. All sizes are on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
At Chitradurga NH50 branches off NH48 and runs north east through Jagalur taluk, Kudligi and Mariyammanahalli to Hosapete, then north through Kushtagi and Ilkal to Hungund. It is a national highway all the way, with town stretches where the driver slows down. The tempo traveller handles it comfortably.
One bag per person goes behind the last row; keep a day bag at your seat with water, snacks, medicines and a shawl. Since the family stays a night at Chitradurga before reaching Kudalasangama, pack the night things in one small bag so the big suitcases need not come out.
