Pickup in Mysuru
The Urbania collects elders and family at 6:30, from home, a hotel in Mysuru or Mandakalli airport. On the return, elders who have never been up Chamundi Hill can plan it; the temple at the top is about 13 km from the city, with the great stone Nandi halfway up. The Urbania follows NH275 out of town and turns at Pandavapura for KR Pet. Tonight's halt is Shivamogga, about 245 km away, so day one is gentle.

Breakfast
Elders take breakfast at KR Pet, 55 km into the day, with twenty unhurried minutes. Hoysala builders left small temples in many villages of this taluk, and one at Thenginaghatta still carries an inscription dated 1133. Anyone who prefers to stay seated can do so with the AC running while food comes out to the Urbania. The low step makes getting in and out quick. From here the road goes on by Channarayapatna to Arsikere, about 85 km.

Optional halt
A short, optional stop at Arsikere, 140 km from Mysore, lets elders take tea or use the restroom. This coconut country town sits at roughly 806 to 812 m, and a Jain shrine called the Sahasrakuta Jinalaya has stood here since 1220. Those who would rather rest can stay in the cool while others fetch tender coconut. Tonight's hotel in Shivamogga is about 105 km on along NH69, so the first day ends early.

Night halt
Shivamogga, which many still call Shimoga, is the night halt at 245 km, so elders rest after a short day. The city lies on the Tunga and is the gateway to Malnad. In the afternoon the group can visit the Shivappa Nayaka palace museum, open about 10 am to 5 pm and closed on Fridays. Hotels here have parking for the Urbania. Tomorrow is a longer day, about 215 km to Magod.

Jog option
On day two the Urbania reaches Sagar, 320 km from Mysore, and the group decides on Jog. The falls lie around 30 km off along NH69, and the side trip takes about two hours; they run fullest in July and August. Elders can look from the upper viewing points without a long walk. Those who prefer to skip Jog can rest over tea in Sagar instead. Sirsi, the lunch stop, is roughly 75 km further.

Lunch
Lunch on day two is in Sirsi, 395 km from Mysore. Rice is the main food crop of this forest town, and a simple Malnad meal suits elders after a morning on the road. The goddess Marikamba's temple stands in the centre if anyone wants darshan. On the Kumta road, about 14 km south west, the Janmane forest holds a research station, a sign of how rich these woods are. Forty five minutes, then about 65 km to Magod.

Restroom halt
The Urbania pauses fifteen minutes at Yellapur, 445 km out, the last town before the falls. Elders should use the restroom here, because the forest stretch ahead has none. Hubli airport is about 80 km away and Alnavar Junction about 60 km, useful if any member plans to fly or take a train home. Water and fruit are easy to buy in the market. Then the Urbania turns onto the narrow road for Magod.

Viewpoint drop
About 9.5 to 10 hours of driving over two days bring the Urbania to the Magod parking, roughly 19 km from Yellapur town. The easy step helps elders down, and the walk from the lot to the railings is short and fairly level. Any steps can be damp, so elders should take them slowly. Carry a water bottle and a snack, as there is little to eat at the falls. The driver waits in the lot until the group returns.

They stay open, but Sirsi gets very heavy rain from June to September, and its ghat roads can be slippery. The driver goes slowly and plans the forest stretch in daylight. With elders, October to February is the more comfortable season.
We advise against it with elders. The forest stretch from Yellapur to Shivamogga is best driven in daylight, and the full return is about 9.5 to 10 hours. A night at Sirsi or Shivamogga and a morning start is safer and easier for everyone.
