Group pickup
Members gather at 5 am at one meeting point, such as the area around the city bus stand between the palace and KR Circle, where everyone can find the bus easily. Mahanandi is about 505 km off, two days of driving with a night at Kadiri, about 320 km from Mysore. Big bags go into the rear and small bags on the racks; each member keeps a night bag apart. The bus moves once the list is checked.
Breakfast
SH 33 meets the highway at Maddur and runs about 24 km south to Malavalli, on the way to Shivanasamudra, a day trip for another time. The mini bus stops in Maddur, 65 km out, for breakfast; the town's vada is said to have started with vendors on the railway platform. Twenty five minutes for the group at an eatery on the older highway, reached by the exit. Then the bus rejoins the expressway.
City bypass
The mini bus goes round Bangalore, about 145 km from Mysore. NICE Road carries it from Mysore Road to Tumkur Road, and the Peenya elevated flyover is used only when it is open, since closures have been announced at short notice. The ring road via Doddaballapur then reaches NH44 near Devanahalli. No stop is planned in the city. Mahanandi is about 360 km away, and lunch is planned at Bagepalli.
Lunch
Lunch for the mini bus is at Bagepalli, about 240 km out, forty five minutes at a roadside dhaba with room for the bus. The land here is semi arid and drought prone, with rocky, rolling ground and small hill ranges. Routes to Kadiri leave NH44 at Bagepalli and head north east to the Hindupur to Kadiri road, which is the way the bus goes. Kadiri, tonight's halt, is about 80 km on.
Night halt
Kadiri, about 320 km from Mysore, is where the mini bus group sleeps. The town is known for jasmine, sold near the temple, and on Shivaratri thousands go to the jatara at Thimmamma Marrimanu, the giant banyan about 25 km away. Book one hotel with bus parking. The Lakshmi Narasimha temple makes an easy evening darshan. The second day covers about 185 km to Mahanandi, so the start can be relaxed.
Tea
Pulivendula, about 360 km out, sits at about 272 m in Kadapa district, so mornings warm up fast. The mini bus halts twenty minutes for tea on day two, at a roadside place where the bus can stand clear of the road. The Tummalapalle uranium mine is about 15 km south of the town, though it cannot be seen from the road. Allagadda is about 95 km ahead, through open, dry country.
Tea
Nandyal, about 38 km away, has the nearest railway station to Allagadda, a revenue division town the mini bus reaches about 455 km from Mysore. The bus breaks here for twenty minutes of tea. Allagadda is about 118 km from Kurnool. The road on to Nandyal is the last stretch before the temple, and lunch is planned there, so keep the snacks light. Water bottles should be refilled here. Keep the group together here.
Lunch
Nandyal, about 495 km from Mysore, is the lunch stop for the mini bus on day two, forty five minutes at an eatery big enough to seat the group together. The town became a district headquarters in 2022, so it has more hotels than the temple village. Belum Caves are about 75 km away for another trip. After lunch, Mahanandi is a short drive on. Order together to save time.
Drop at the temple town
The mini bus pulls into Mahanandi on the afternoon of day two, about 11 hours of driving after leaving Mysore. Forest rings the temple village, which lies east of the Nallamala hills. The bus stops close to the temple or the group's guest house, wherever space allows. Rooms are limited in the village, so book ahead, or stay in Nandyal. Keep slippers, a towel and puja items in a small bag.

By road Mahanandi is about 505 km from Mysore, about 1,010 km for the round trip. The mini bus goes by Maddur and the Bangalore bypass to NH44, turns off at Bagepalli for Kadiri, where the group spends the night, and then goes through Pulivendula, Allagadda and Nandyal. It takes about 11 hours of driving with stops, over two days.
For Mahanandi, a return after 10 pm brings the night bata of ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
The 25 seater, so everyone sits, bags included. The full size list is on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
We quote Mahanandi one way drops on request; the rate is ₹2 a km above a round trip.
No. The Andhra Pradesh entry permit for a tourist vehicle is extra too. Tolls, parking and GST are added at actual, with every receipt.
Yes. Ahobilam is off the road near Allagadda and needs half a day.
Sometimes. From about mid November to mid February fog sits on the north side of Bangalore around Devanahalli in the early hours. The mini bus reaches that stretch after breakfast, when the fog has usually lifted; if not, the driver slows down until it clears. The Andhra roads beyond Bagepalli are rarely foggy.
No. The plan has a night at Kadiri, so both days are driven in daylight. The roads through Kadiri, Pulivendula and Allagadda are two lane in parts, with lorries and village traffic, and are better driven by day. If the group must travel at night, tell us at booking.
