At about five the tempo traveller calls at two or three homes in Mysuru, and the luggage, water cans and snack boxes go in first. With roughly ten hours on the road ahead, elders get the front seats and a small pillow each. The family joins the NH275 expressway outside the city, paying the first toll at the Gananguru plaza near Srirangapatna. The plan is breakfast at Tumakuru, lunch at Ballari and short tea breaks in between.
Coffee halt
The first break comes at Maddur, roughly 65 km out, twenty minutes for coffee and the town's famous vada. The story goes that the crisp, flat fritter began with vendors on the railway platform here. Maddur also sends tender coconuts by the truckload to other states, so a fresh coconut for each person is a sensible start to a hot day. The Shimsha river runs through town, which is why locals call it Madduru Hole. Then the traveller swings north for Tumakuru.
Breakfast
Breakfast is at Tumkur (Tumakuru), around 145 km from Mysore, thirty minutes at a hotel on the highway. The city took the official name Tumakuru in 2014, though road signs still show both. Coconut groves are everywhere, which is why the district is called Kalpataru Nadu. Families who want darshan at the Siddaganga Matha, with its Siddalingeshwara temple on a rock, should add an hour. The traveller fills diesel and joins NH48 north.
Tea stop
At Sira, roughly 200 km out, the family takes a quarter hour for tea on NH48. The town sits at about 662 m and has no railway of its own; the nearest station for this area is Gubbi. If you pass between February and August, the painted storks are nesting at Kaggaladu, about 10 km away, a sight worth remembering for a slower return. Hiriyur, where the road for Ballari leaves the highway, is about 35 km ahead.
Short halt
At Hiriyur, around 235 km out, the traveller leaves NH48 for the Ballari road, and ten minutes here lets everyone stretch. The town's weekly santhe, a country market, pulls in buyers from across the district, and coconut villages such as Adivala surround it. Winter nights here fall to about 18 C, but the afternoons are warm in every season. Ballari is about 140 km ahead through dry, open land with few shops, so refill water now.
Lunch
Lunch is at Ballari, about 375 km from Mysore, and forty minutes covers the meal. Jowar rotti with curry is the regional plate, and rice meals are always available. The heat here is strong most of the year, so the traveller is parked in shade with curtains drawn while the family eats. The driver also rests and refuels. Hosapete and the road to Hampi lie about 60 km west, a separate trip. From here the road runs quietly towards Adoni.
Tea stop
Adoni, about 450 km out, is the family's last tea stop, ten minutes at most. This cotton town in Andhra Pradesh has an old hill fort of Vijayanagara times, and the Ramajala lake shines below the rocky hills at the edge of town. Fill water bottles here, since lodges at Mantralayam fill up in the evening and shops near them get crowded. Mantralayam is around 40 to 50 km further, under an hour.
Arrival
After about ten hours the tempo traveller stops close to the family's lodge in Mantralayam. Raghavendra Swami settled here and passed away in 1671, and his Brindavana now draws lakhs of pilgrims a year. Darshan usually runs from about six in the morning to two, and again from four till nine, but festivals shift these hours. Men take off shirt and banian before entering. Prasadam is served at noon and in the evening.

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. 👍

It is about 490 km one way and about 980 km there and back. The tempo traveller runs via Maddur, Tumakuru, Sira and Hiriyur, then Ballari and Adoni. Plan on about 10 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts, so most families take three or four days.
The 16 seater, with space for bags. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
The mutt has rooms, and there are private lodges near it. Book early for aradhane week.
Not included for Mantralayam; those are separate. The 12 seater for 4 days, 1,200 km is ₹31,200 and the driver bata is ₹2,400. Then tolls, Andhra Pradesh entry tax, parking and GST.
Mantralayam one way is possible on request. A one way van is quoted at the return rate with ₹2 a km.
Mantralayam: driving after 10 pm adds the driver night bata, ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
After Hiriyur the traveller leaves NH48 and runs about 140 km through dry, open country to Ballari, with fewer towns and shops. The road is straight and the traveller keeps a steady pace. Carry water and snacks for this stretch, since halts are fewer than on the highway.
One soft bag per person fits at the back of the tempo traveller if it is not packed to the last seat. Keep temple clothes on top: a dhoti for men, as shirts come off inside the mutt, and traditional dress for women. Carry water, snacks and medicines in a hand bag for the long day on the road.
