Pickup at your door
Set the alarm early, because the car reaches your gate in Mysuru, or your lodge or the station, at 5:30. Before dawn the bottleneck where the expressway ends near Manipal Hospital is empty, and the car rolls straight onto the highway. Puttaparthi lies about 295 km north, a little about 6 to 6.5 hours of driving plus meals. Pack white or light clothes for the ashram, a shawl for the cool morning and a bottle of water per person. Breakfast is planned at Bidadi.
Optional halt
Mandya slides past about 45 km into the drive, with cane fields on both sides and the smoke of jaggery sheds in the villages. A stop is only for the restroom at this hour; the juice stalls open later. Families who want the region's farm lunch, ragi mudde with naati koli saaru, can plan it on the drive home. Farmers sometimes block this highway during a bandh, so we look at the news the night before you travel.
Breakfast
Plate sized thatte idli with a knob of butter is Bidadi's breakfast, about 110 km from Mysore. Since the expressway skirts the town, the cab turns off at the exit and pulls up on the old road beside the eateries; fifteen minutes is enough for a family. Signs for Wonderla, the amusement park, point off the same road. The driver takes fuel here, because the loop round the city that follows has few convenient pumps.
Optional halt
The loop round the city ends at Devanahalli, roughly 180 km from home, where the cab meets NH44. Just before the town comes the Sadahalli toll on the airport road, Karnataka's busiest plaza, and the airport itself is a short distance away. Tea and a restroom fit in ten minutes. Hyder Ali rebuilt the old mud fort here in stone, and its round bastions are visible from the road. Then the highway points north towards the border.
Drive through
Chikkaballapur, around 200 km out, is known as Panchagiri because five hills surround it. The cab keeps going without a halt. Two national highways and a state highway cross at the town, so lorries crowd the road for a few kilometres. In season, stalls by the highway sell grapes from the Nandi valley, a variety with its own GI tag. Silk weavers in Sidlaghatta, in the same district, buy raw silk from this belt.
Lunch
Lunch is at Bagepalli, the final Karnataka town on NH44, roughly 240 km from Mysore. Plain rice meals and chapati at a highway dhaba come quickly, and fuel pumps line both sides of the road. Look out at the rocky, low hills; this is dry country, and groundnut is the crop you see most. A toll booth on the highway sits at the edge of town. After half an hour the cab heads for the border, a few minutes away.
Border check post
Kodikonda marks the Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh border on NH44, about 255 km from Mysore. At the check post the driver shows the permit papers while you stay in the car; it takes a few minutes. Soon after, the cab leaves the highway for Gorantla and Puttaparthi. Gorantla, on the Chitravathi, has the Madhavaraya temple raised in 1354 by Narasimha Saluva, an ASI monument close to its bus stand, worth a quick look on the way back.
Ashram drop
Driving in from the highway, the cab passes Kothacheruvu, about 4 km north of Puttaparthi, then drops you near the ashram and waits. The town now heads its own district, Sri Sathya Sai. Ashram staff at the gate explain the rules on dress and conduct; please follow them. A small airport lies just outside town, near the super speciality hospital. For a stay of several days, fix the return pickup time with the driver before he leaves.
Need a Mysore to Puttaparthi cab for a family of four going for darshan? A car gets round Bangalore and up NH44 quickest, with a stop at Lepakshi if you like. Book a Mysore to Puttaparthi taxi through cab rental in Mysore. Pickup from home, a Mysuru hotel or the airport.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Puttaparthi is roughly 295 km from Mysore, or about 590 km for a return. By cab allow about 6 to 6.5 hours: the expressway to Bidadi, a loop round the city to NH44, north past Devanahalli, Chikkaballapur and Bagepalli to the Kodikonda border, then the smaller road through Gorantla.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. The quote lists it. That comes to ₹400 a night.
It can be done. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
Yes, it is a short detour from NH44.
Yes, at the real cost.
Innova. See cab rental in Mysore.
Just after the Andhra border at Kodikonda. The cab stops briefly at the check post, then turns off NH44 onto the smaller road through Gorantla, and comes into Puttaparthi past Kothacheruvu, about 4 km north of the town. This last stretch is slower than the highway, so allow about an hour for it.
Yes. It is about 6 to 6.5 hours by car, with breakfast at Bidadi and lunch at Bagepalli, so children get a break every couple of hours. Carry plain snacks and water, since highway food in Andhra can be spicy, and keep quiet games handy for the ashram, where silence is expected.
