Pickup in Mysuru
We collect the group at 7 am from the place it suits you in Mysuru, a family home, a hotel or the railway station. The Urbania takes 8 to 16 people. If anyone wants a box of Mysore pak, the ghee rich gram flour sweet, buy it on the evening before; shops are shut this early. Our road leaves the city to the south by the Nanjangud highway. Masinagudi is 100 km away, roughly two hours.
Breakfast stop
Nanjangud, 25 km from Mysore, is the breakfast stop. The gopuram of the Srikanteshwara temple, about 120 ft and raised in 1845, can be seen from the road, and the temple opens around 6 am for anyone who wants darshan. Breakfast takes twenty minutes for a group of ten or twelve. The Kapila river runs past the town. From here the drive is flat and quick to Gundlupet, 35 km on.
Fuel and restroom
Gundlupet is 60 km out. Around the town, grape vines grow beside the flower farms, and in the Onam season a few vineyards are promoted as a stop for travellers on this highway. The Urbania halts ten minutes for fuel and the restroom. Elders should use it now, because the next 35 km cross two forests where nobody may get down. Bandipur's boundary is only about 17 km from the town.
Forest stretch
Bandipur starts 80 km from Mysore. Elephant, gaur and spotted deer cross this road, and the forest department keeps the speed low with breakers and signs. The Urbania drives through without stopping, and passengers keep hands and heads inside the windows. The road is level here, an easy ride for elders. Bandipur and Mudumalai form one unbroken forest, so the change at the state border, about 15 km on, is only a sign board and a check post.
Theppakadu halt
Theppakadu, 95 km from Mysore, has the elephant camp that is described as the oldest in Asia, dating from about 1917. The camp is a short walk from the reception centre, where the tickets are sold, and the feeding is in the morning and early evening. If the timing fits, a twenty minute halt suits a family group. Then the Urbania leaves the highway for the Masinagudi road, about 5 km to the village.
Resort drop
About two hours after Mysore, the Urbania reaches Masinagudi, at about 950 m on the Sigur plateau. Masinagudi gets about 1,514 mm of rain a year, so carry an umbrella from June to September. We drop the group at its resort, with bags carried to the door. The Urbania parks at the resort for the stay. If the group returns the same day, we leave by late afternoon to clear the Bandipur forest before its 9 pm closure.
Want a Mysore to Masinagudi Force Urbania so elders can enjoy the forest drive in AC comfort? The big windows suit animal spotting. We pick up from your Mysuru hotel or Mandakalli airport. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

Mysore to Masinagudi is about 100 km one way, about 200 km for the round trip. The Urbania goes south on NH 766 through Nanjangud and Gundlupet, crosses Bandipur on NH 181 and turns off at Theppakadu for the village. With a breakfast halt it takes about two hours. The Bandipur stretch is shut from 9 pm to 6 am.
It can be done. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
Yes, with parking and the Tamil Nadu permit. Fuel, driver and AC are in the rate.
Yes. They stay seated with a clear view the whole way.
Only for night driving, which we avoid because of the 9 pm forest closure. Expect ₹700 a night.
The 10 seater. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
It depends on what you want. The area gets about 1,514 mm of rain, mostly from June to September, so the forest is green and the air cool, but animals hide in the thick cover. Landslips can close Nilgiri ghat roads in heavy rain. For wildlife and dry roads, the months from November to March are better for an Urbania group.
For two or three nights, a medium suitcase per person and a small day bag fit for a group of up to twelve. With sixteen on board, keep to soft bags. Woollens and rain jackets go in the day bags, since evenings can be cool. Tell us about camera tripods or a pram when you book, and we keep space at the back.
