Pickup at your door
The Urbania picks the group up at a hotel, home or the station, and the driver checks the bag count before loading. Visitors who see the palace the day before should use the Varaha gate on the south side; the palace is open 10 am to 5:30 pm. Leaving Mysore, we take the Hunsur road to Bilikere and then the state highway to KR Nagar and Holenarasipura. Kudremukh is about 260 km away; leave by six.
Tea stop
KR Nagar is a ten minute tea halt about 40 km into the trip. At that hour the vegetarian places are just opening, and a few Kerala style eateries serve meat and fish for those who prefer. On the Kaveri bank about 4 km away, the Arkeshwara temple at Hale Yedatore draws crowds on Rathasaptami, in January or February, for its car festival. The Urbania then keeps a steady pace on the quiet state highway towards Holenarasipura, roughly 45 km on.
Breakfast and fuel
Breakfast and fuel at Holenarasipura take about twenty five minutes for a group of twelve. The town is named for the river, Hole, and for Narasimha, and the Hemavathi flows beside it. About 150 years ago a check dam called Shri Ramadevara Katte was built here under the Maharaja of Mysore. Ask for kadubu with coconut chutney and Malnad filter coffee. The Urbania tops up fuel while you eat. Hassan is about 30 to 35 km further on.
Tea stop
A short tea stop in Hassan, fifteen minutes, about 120 km from Mysore. If anyone wants to buy early, coffee, pepper and cardamom from the Sakleshpur estates are sold in the city. October and July are the wettest months here, so umbrellas should stay inside the Urbania. Hassan Junction lies on the Mangalore to Mysore rail line if someone needs to leave by train. From here the van turns north west for Belur, about 38 km.
Lunch
The group lunches in Belur, around 160 km out, at one of the small hotels near the temple that serve Malnad meals. Forty minutes covers the meal and a quick look at the Chennakeshava temple, which Karnataka Tourism dates to 1117 AD. Shoes come off at the stand, and there is no ticket. Mudigere is about 35 km on, and after Mudigere the drive turns from highway to hill road.
Tea stop
Mudigere, about 190 km out, sits at about 970 to 990 m among coffee and pepper estates. The group stops fifteen minutes for tea. Coffee powder and black pepper are the buys. Kottigehara is about 16 km on, at the top of the Charmadi ghat, and there the Urbania leaves the highway for the Kalasa road, about 41 km of narrow, winding road. Seat anyone who feels sick in front.
Tea stop
Kalasa, about 240 km out, is the tea halt before the forest. In the 13th to 16th centuries it belonged to the Kalasa Karkala kingdom, and today it is a small taluk town ringed by the Bhadra. The national park begins near here, so the road ahead to the township, about 20 km, runs under tall trees and slows down. From June to September carry umbrellas everywhere. Restrooms are better here than inside the park.
Drop at your stay
The Urbania drops the group at the homestay after about five and a half hours. Kudremukh township sits at about 815 m, and three rivers, the Tunga, Bhadra and Netravathi, rise in the hills around it. Homestays here and near Kalasa are booked well ahead for a group of twelve. Meals are simple Malnad food cooked by the hosts. Rain can be very heavy in the monsoon, so pack rain covers for bags and keep the van windows shut while parked.
Is a Mysore to Kudremukh Force Urbania right for a monsoon drive with a small team? Small office teams and families with elders usually choose it. Tejas Tours & Travels arranges Force Urbania on rent in Mysore with drivers who know these roads. Pickup is anywhere in Mysuru: a palace-side hotel, the railway station, the bus stand or Mysore airport at Mandakalli.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

By road Kudremukh is about 260 km, so the round trip is about 520 km. The Urbania goes via Hassan, Belur and Mudigere, turns at Kottigehara and runs through Kalasa to the township. It takes about 5.5 hours including halts.
The 12 seater, leaving seats for all and space for bags. Every size is listed on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Driving past 10 pm adds the driver's night allowance; your quote lists it.
On request, yes. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
Leave by 6:00 am. With the halts on this page you reach Kudremukh in about 5.5 hours. Elders find an early start easier on a cool morning.
They are extra. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
October to February is best. The monsoon is over, the shola grassland is green and the roads are dry. March to May is warm but fine. From June to September the area gets extreme rain, and the drive from Kottigehara and Kalasa becomes slow.
Yes, with planning. The Urbania stops at Holenarasipura, Hassan, Belur, Mudigere and Kalasa, so nobody sits long. The last 60 km has many bends, so elders should sit in the front rows. Choose a homestay with easy access, and keep warm clothes and medicines handy.
