Pickup at your door
For a group of twelve the Urbania collects everyone from one hotel, a home or Mysore Junction, and the driver ticks the names before setting off. Hosts in NR Pura will welcome a box of Mysore pak, the ghee sweet; buy it the evening before, as the sweet shops open late. Out of the city, the four lane road runs west, and at Bilikere the driver turns for KR Nagar. Narasimharajapura is about 260 km off, and leaving around six puts the group there by mid afternoon.

Tea stop
Ten minutes for tea at KR Nagar. This town is younger than it looks; it was built on higher ground in the 1920s and 1930s after the Kaveri flooded old Yedatore, and took the name of Krishnaraja Wodeyar. Vegetarian eateries open around seven if anyone wants a snack before Hassan. The KRS dam lies about 25 km back towards Mysore, which most groups already know. The Urbania keeps on along the river country to Holenarasipura.

Breakfast
Twenty five minutes at Hassan for breakfast suits a group of twelve. Those who like a heavy start can try ragi mudde with green curry, the district's farm meal; others take a lighter plate and filter coffee. Cardamom, pepper and coffee from the Sakleshpur side are sold in the city, though Chikmagalur has more choice. Hassan is pleasant from October to March. In the rains, the Urbania slows from here on, as the road turns north west into the hills.

Lunch
The group lunches in Chikmagalur, a coffee town that claims to be where India's coffee story began, with Baba Budan's seeds. Forty minutes covers rice and Malnad dishes for twelve. Buy coffee powder here; the shops in NR Pura are fewer. The Urbania parks off the main road while you eat. After lunch, the road to Balehonnur, about 50 km, winds through estates, so it is a good time for a short nap.

Tea halt
Balehonnur already lies in NR Pura taluk, and a fifteen minute halt here gives everyone tea before the final stretch. The Rambhapuri Peetha stands near the Bhadra bridge. Small hotels serve akki rotti and kadubu for anyone still hungry. If someone in the group needs a train later, the nearest stations are Chikmagalur, Shivamogga and Kadur. The last 30 km to NR Pura is narrow, with bends. The Urbania goes slowly there.

Arrival
The Urbania reaches Narasimharajapura after about six hours with halts. The town is quiet and close to the Bhadra backwaters. Hotels are few, so the group's rooms should be booked before the trip, ideally in one place. The driver drops everyone at the door and parks nearby. Meals are simple, and the evenings are calm. The Bhadra dam at Lakkavalli lies about 18 to 20 km from Bhadravathi, if anyone continues towards Shivamogga.
Is a Mysore to Narasimharajapura Force Urbania right for elders going to Simhanagadde? Six hours with Malnad bends at the end feel easier in its reclining seats. We pick up from your Mysuru home, a hotel or the railway station. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.

NR Pura lies about 260 km from Mysore, about 520 km for the return trip. The Urbania runs on SH57 to Hassan, then through Chikmagalur and Balehonnur. It takes about 6 hours including breakfast and lunch, a little more in the rains.

The 9 or 12 seater. All sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Yes, Narasimharajapura one way on request. A drop-only trip is priced ₹2 a km above the return rate.
Only late night driving carries a driver night allowance. Per night it is ₹700.
Good up to Chikkamagaluru, then narrower Malnad roads. The Urbania handles them slowly.
October to February is the easiest time. The heavy Malnad rain is over, the estate roads are dry, and the Bhadra backwaters are full. March to May is warm but fine. June to September brings very heavy rain around Balehonnur and NR Pura, and the drive slows down.
Plan halts every hour or so; the Urbania stops at KR Nagar, Hassan, Chikmagalur and Balehonnur. Seat children near the front for the last 30 km of bends. Pack snacks and water, as NR Pura has few shops and simple meals. A warm layer helps in the evenings from November to February.
