Pickup at your door
Families heading for NR Pura often come from two or three addresses, and the tempo traveller can call at each of them in Mysuru. We load the big bags first, then the cool box and the snack bag by the door. Relatives who reach the city a day early can see the palace, which keeps roughly 10 am to 5:30 pm hours. Our way out is Bilikere and then the state highway towards Hassan, a calm road at dawn. Expect about six hours to the Bhadra side, so a start before six is wise.

Tea stop
Tea in KR Nagar comes about an hour after the start. Fifteen minutes is plenty for the family, and children usually want the karjoora cake, a small date cake from the village bakeries, or a packet of Osmania biscuits. Our driver will not leave the traveller by the garden outside the railway station, because parking there is not allowed; he finds space on the main road. Holenarasipura and the Hemavathi lie roughly 45 km ahead, and Hassan, with a proper breakfast, about half an hour beyond that.

Breakfast
By the time the traveller pulls into Hassan, around 120 km from home, everyone is ready for breakfast. Order kadubu with coconut chutney for the table; it arrives fast, and the filter coffee is strong. Keep half an hour, including the restroom. If the family returns this way in summer, the ruined Shettihalli church stands on dry ground in the Hemavathi backwaters, while from July to October water covers part of it. The diesel tank is filled here before the Malnad.

Lunch
Chikmagalur is the family's lunch town, roughly two thirds of the way to NR Pura. A hotel table for fifteen is easy to find, and 45 minutes covers rice with akki rotti or kadubu. Up here, at over a thousand metres, children may want a light jacket even at midday. Coffee powder from the estates is the gift to carry. The next 50 km to Balehonnur bends through coffee land, so the driver goes gently and stops if anyone feels unwell.

Tea halt
At Balehonnur the traveller crosses the Bhadra, and a fifteen minute tea halt breaks the last leg. A yearly Urs is held at the Baba Bandesha dargah beside the main road, and on those days traffic slows. This is wet country; the hobli recorded about 2,592 mm of rain in 2022. Coffee and pepper grow on both sides. About 30 km of narrow estate road remain to NR Pura, so children who feel the bends should move to the front seats now.

Arrival
The tempo traveller reaches Narasimharajapura after about six hours. It is a small, quiet town near the Bhadra backwaters, and lodges are few, so the family's rooms must be booked ahead. The driver drops everyone at the lodge and helps unload. Food choices are simple, so carry snacks for the children. Shivamogga, the nearest big city, is a drive away past the Bhadra dam at Lakkavalli, useful only if you need a hospital or bigger shops.

It is about 260 km by road, so there and back comes to about 520 km. The tempo traveller goes via KR Nagar, Hassan and Chikmagalur, then the estate road from Balehonnur. Plan about 6 hours with breakfast and lunch on the way.
Those are separate on the Narasimharajapura bill. Narasimharajapura: then GST, tolls and parking. The 12 seater for two days, 600 km is ₹15,600 and our driver bata is ₹1,200.
Yes. Belur is between Hassan and Chikkamagaluru; keep an hour.
The 14 seater. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Narasimharajapura one way: we can do it on request. A one way van is quoted at the return rate with ₹2 a km.
For Narasimharajapura, a return after 10 pm brings the night allowance of ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
It is about 30 km of narrow estate road with bends. The tempo traveller handles it well at a slow pace, but it takes longer than the distance suggests. In the monsoon the surface is wet and leaves cover the edges. We plan to cover it in daylight, both going and returning.
A medium soft bag per person fits at the back if the traveller is not full to the last seat. Keep a small bag with medicines, chargers, torches and rain gear near your seat. NR Pura has limited shops, so pack snacks and anything the children need for two or three days.
