Pickup at your door
Our driver comes to your house, your hotel near the palace, the railway station or the small airport at Mandakalli, so nobody walks to a meeting point with bags. Narasimharajapura is about 260 km away in the Malnad, and the car leaves around six. It runs out on the Hunsur road for about 25 km and takes the Bilikere turn for KR Nagar and Hassan. For visitors from outside Karnataka, Kannada is what the counters speak on this road; the driver orders tea and meals for you along the way.

Tea stop
Most cars barely slow down at KR Nagar, about 40 km from Mysore, but it is the first good place for tea. Paddy and sugarcane fields surround the town, and the Kaveri runs close by. If you have a free morning on the way back, the Arkeshwara temple at Hale Yedatore sits on the river bank about 4 km away, with old steps down to the water. Today ten minutes is plenty. The next stretch, about 45 km to Holenarasipura, is a quiet state highway with little traffic.

Breakfast
Breakfast comes at Hassan, after about 120 km, in twenty minutes for a family of four. Order akki rotti with chutney or kadubu, and the strong Malnad coffee that this district is known for. Hassan sits at about 950 m, so the morning feels cooler than Mysore. From here the car leaves NH75 and heads north west towards Belur and Chikmagalur. If your trip falls in October or November, check whether the Hasanamba temple is open, because the town fills up during those days.

Lunch
Chikmagalur, about 185 km out, is where the car stops for lunch. Thirty minutes covers a Malnad meal for four, rice with akki rotti or kadubu, and coffee to finish. The shops on the main road sell coffee powder and black pepper from the estates, and this is the last good place to buy them before NR Pura. Restrooms and fuel are in town. Balehonnur, on the Bhadra, lies about 50 km to the north west, and the road narrows as it runs through coffee and forest.

Drive on
Balehonnur is a coffee town on the Bhadra river, and it already belongs to Narasimharajapura taluk. The car usually rolls through; if anyone wants tea, the small hotels are quick. The Rambhapuri Peetha, one of the five Veerashaiva seats, stands near the bridge, and the old masonry bridge itself dates from 1946. From here the road to NR Pura is about 30 km of narrow estate road with bends, so tell the driver if anyone needs a short stop.

Arrival
After about five and a half hours the car reaches Narasimharajapura, a quiet Malnad town near the Bhadra backwaters. Hotels and lodges are few, so book your room before leaving Mysore, and tell us the name so the driver drops you at the door. Meals in town are simple. The Bhadra dam at Lakkavalli is about 28 km from Shivamogga, which is the nearest big city if you need more shops or a hospital. Most visitors plan the evening around rest and an early start next day.

The road stays open, but this part of the Malnad is very wet; Balehonnur hobli recorded about 2,592 mm of rain in 2022. The stretch from Balehonnur to NR Pura is narrow and slow when wet. Carry umbrellas, and expect a longer drive from June to September. October to February is drier and easier.
Yes, with halts. The cab stops at KR Nagar, Hassan, Chikmagalur and Balehonnur, so nobody sits for more than about an hour and a half. The last 30 km has bends, so children who feel sick should sit in front. NR Pura has few hotels, so book a room with easy access for elders.
