Pickup at your gate
The tempo traveller arrives at half past five. Day one ends at Hosapete, about 405 km away, where the family sleeps before Lakkundi. Children who liked the big Nandi on Chamundi Hill, carved from one black granite rock about 4.9 m tall, will enjoy the carved stone of the Chalukya temples ahead. Bags for four days go behind the last row. The van takes the expressway to Maddur, about an hour away, for the first halt.
Snack halt
Maddur is the first snack halt. The van comes off the expressway into the old town for coffee and vada; the vada shops still do good business though the new road skips the town. Children may want a tender coconut, since the town sends them by lorry to other states. Twenty minutes, then the tempo traveller turns north on State Highway 33 through Kunigal, heading for breakfast in Tumakuru. The driver checks the tyres while you eat.
Breakfast
The family eats breakfast at Tumkur (Tumakuru), about 145 km from Mysore. Thirty minutes at a highway hotel with parking. The district grows coconut, areca nut, ragi and groundnut, and calls itself Kalpataru Nadu. After breakfast the van joins NH48, a wide national highway, and runs north west for about 130 km to Chitradurga. The children can nap on this stretch. If anyone prefers a lighter plate, ask for idli or upma, and keep a packet of biscuits for the children in the van.
Lunch
Chitradurga is lunch, an hour for the family. If the children are restless, the parking near Gate 3 of the fort is right outside the walls, with basic toilets and drinking water, and a short walk inside shows the old granaries and grinding stones. Wear proper shoes; it is all rock. After lunch the van leaves NH48 for NH50, through Kudligi, towards Hosapete and the night halt. Elders can stay seated in the shade while the others look.
Night halt
Hosapete is the night halt, about 405 km from Mysore. The family can check in by evening. The town is the gateway to Hampi, 13 km away, so a family with four days often keeps Hampi for the return. Hosapete has a big market, good for fruit and water for tomorrow. Next morning the van leaves NH50 for the road west to Koppal and Gadag. Ask the hotel for an early breakfast, as the van leaves soon after seven.
Tea
Koppal is the morning tea stop, about 35 km from Hosapete. The town is ringed by hills on three sides, and its fort looks down on it. Naradagadde bird sanctuary on the Tungabhadra is in Koppal district, for keen birders. Fifteen minutes for tea and restrooms. Lakkundi is about 45 km west of Koppal on the Gadag road, under an hour away. Use the restrooms here, because Lakkundi itself has very few facilities near the ruins.
Parking near the museum
About ten hours of driving from Mysore, with the night at Hosapete. The van parks near the sculpture gallery, which shows pieces found among the ruins. Lakkundi has over 50 temple ruins and stepwells from the 11th and 12th centuries, so keep a half day. Stay in Gadag, 12 km on, and try girmit, the spicy puffed rice snack, there. Keep the children with you on the restored temple paths.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

The Mysore to Lakkundi distance is about 485 km by road, about 970 km both ways. The tempo traveller goes via Maddur, Tumkur (Tumakuru) and Chitradurga to a night at Hosapete, then west through Koppal. It is about ten hours of driving over two days.
The 16 seater. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Lakkundi one way? Yes, on request. A one way van is quoted at the return rate with ₹2 a km.
No, those are separate items on the Lakkundi bill. Tolls, parking and GST follow for Lakkundi. The 12 seater for 4 days, 1,200 km is ₹31,200 and our driver bata is ₹2,400.
From March to May, yes. Visit the temples early morning and late afternoon.
Night allowance on the Lakkundi run applies after 10 pm: ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
From Hosapete the van leaves NH50 for the road west to Koppal and then on towards Gadag. It is a paved highway through farmland and small towns, about 80 km in all. The last few km into Lakkundi are a village road, slow but fine for a tempo traveller.
One bag per person goes in the rear of the tempo traveller. Since the family sleeps at Hosapete and then near Gadag, pack a small night bag so the suitcases need not come out twice. Keep caps, sunscreen and water bottles in a day bag for the temple sites.
