Coach pickup
The coach leaves at 5 am from one broad meeting point, ready for fifty to board in the dark. On Vijayadashami, heavy vehicles have been barred from entering Mysore by the main roads from 6 am to midnight, so avoid that date for an evening return. Mahanandi is about 505 km away, over two days with a night at Kadiri, about 320 km from here. Suitcases go in the hold; names are called before the bus moves.
Breakfast
Since the expressway runs past Maddur, the coach comes off at the exit, 65 km out, and halts for breakfast where the old highway is wide enough to park. The Hoysala era Narasimha temple, with a black stone Ugra Narasimha, is about a kilometre from the highway for anyone who finishes early. Thirty minutes covers breakfast for fifty if the order is phoned ahead. Then back on the expressway towards the city ring roads.
City bypass
The coach does not enter Bangalore, about 145 km from Mysore. Big buses get very little time to stop in the centre and the day traffic is slow, so the driver stays on the outer ring roads and joins NH44 near Devanahalli, well clear of the city. Mahanandi is still about 360 km away, with lunch planned at Bagepalli, close to the Andhra border. Tell the group the next restroom is at Bagepalli.
Lunch
Bagepalli, about 240 km out, is lunch for the coach, an hour for fifty at a roadside dhaba with a yard. A toll plaza stands on NH44 here. Groundnut is the main crop of the dry land around, with mulberry, onion and sunflower where there is water. After lunch the coach turns off NH44 north east towards Kadiri, on a smaller road, so the driver keeps an easy pace. Count heads before the bus leaves the yard.
Night halt
The coach spends the night at Kadiri, about 320 km from Mysore. The Khadri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple is the main temple of the town, an easy evening darshan for the group. Kadiri lies on NH42, the road joining Anantapur, Tirupati and Kurnool, so its hotels see many travellers. Book rooms for fifty and bus parking in advance. The second day is about 185 km. Order dinner early, as fifty plates take time.
Tea
Pulivendula, about 360 km out, is a revenue division town in Kadapa district, joined to Kadapa by a four lane road. On the morning of day two the coach halts here for chai, twenty minutes at a roadside place with room for the bus. The town sits low, at about 272 m, so it warms up early; refill water for fifty. Allagadda is about 95 km on. The road ahead is quiet, with village traffic.
Tea
Kurnool lies about 118 km and Nandyal about 42 km from Allagadda, a revenue division headquarters that the coach reaches some 455 km out of Mysore. The bus breaks here for twenty minutes, and the names are called before it moves. Nandyal has the nearest railway station, useful if anyone leaves the group to go home by train. Lunch is planned at Nandyal, and the temple is just beyond it. Count heads before leaving.
Lunch
Nandyal, about 495 km out, is lunch for the coach on day two. Since 4 April 2022 the town has been a district headquarters, and its larger hotels can feed fifty together, unlike the temple village; phone the order from Allagadda. Keep an hour. Belum Caves, a separate trip, lie roughly 75 km off. Mahanandi is a short drive on, so the group reaches the temple by mid afternoon. Count heads after lunch.
Bus parking
The coach reaches Mahanandi on the afternoon of day two, about 12.5 hours of driving after Mysore. The temple village lies east of the Nallamala hills, surrounded by forest. The bus parks where the temple staff direct, and the group walks in. Rooms for fifty are hard to find in the village, so many groups stay in Nandyal and drive in for darshan. Fix a meeting time before the group splits up.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

Mahanandi is about 505 km from Mysore one way, so the coach covers about 1,010 km for the round trip. The route is the expressway to Maddur, the Bangalore bypass, NH44 to Bagepalli, then the road through Kadiri, where the group spends the night, Pulivendula, Allagadda and Nandyal. A full size bus needs about 12.5 hours of driving with stops, over two days.
Yes, the pools are open to devotees. Carry a change of clothes.
Mahanandi one way: on request, at ₹2 a km over the return rate, quoted in writing.
Mahanandi: driving after 10 pm adds the driver night allowance, ₹700 to ₹1,000 a night, by size.
No. Add the Andhra Pradesh entry permit for the bus, billed at cost. We list tolls, GST and parking separately, since Bus tolls are above car tolls.
The 49 or 50 seater gives everyone a seat, with some spare. The full size list is on bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, with an easy pace. NH44 is a four lane highway, and the road from Bagepalli through Kadiri, Pulivendula and Allagadda to Nandyal is a mix of good two lane and four lane stretches. The coach keeps to daylight on these roads, which is why the night is at Kadiri. Parking at Mahanandi is limited on festival days.
Yes. The night at Kadiri keeps both days to about six or 12.5 hours on the road, with stops every hour and a half. Seat elders near the front, keep medicines and water in the cabin, and plan light meals. Children can rest on the long stretch after Bagepalli.
