Group pickup
Load the tempo traveller at one address in Mysuru by 5:30 for the long run to Puttaparthi, about 295 km and about six hours with halts. Trips in the Dasara season of September or October meet crowds and police diversions round the palace, so in those weeks we pick a loading point outside the centre and check the traffic advisory. Keep white or light clothes handy for the ashram. Bags go in the back; snacks and water stay at your seat.
Optional halt
About 45 km out, Mandya is the first chance for a restroom. The van stops ten minutes only if needed; sugarcane juice tastes better on the return in daylight. Mandya is the district headquarters, at about 678 m, and its villages make more jaggery than anywhere else in the state. Melukote, the hill temple town some 25 km away, is a separate pilgrimage for a later date. Breakfast follows at Bidadi.
Breakfast
Before the expressway was built, Bidadi was where everyone on the Mysore road stopped for breakfast, and the thatte idli joints still line the old road. The tempo traveller takes the exit at Bidadi, about 110 km out, and twenty minutes lets fifteen people eat plate sized idli with coffee. The Meher Baba spiritual centre is also at Bidadi. After breakfast the van goes round the city, so everyone should use the restroom here.
Optional halt
After the loop round the city the van reaches NH44 at Devanahalli, at about 180 km. The ring road from here to Doddaballapur and Hoskote has a boothless toll at Nallur, where cameras read number plates. The Venugopala Swamy temple, the oldest building inside the old fort, has Ramayana and Krishna panels on its walls. Ten minutes covers tea and the restroom, and the driver checks the tyres before the long straight stretch. From here NH44 heads north towards Chikkaballapur and the Andhra border.
Drive through
Chikkaballapur comes about 200 km from Mysore. The district was carved out of Kolar and takes in Gauribidanur, Gudibande, Bagepalli, Sidlaghatta and Chintamani taluks. Kempegowda International Airport is about 38 km behind the town. Muddenahalli, birthplace of Sir M. Visvesvaraya, is within about 3 km. The tempo traveller drives through, since lunch is close and the group should be hungry for it. Expect lorries joining from the side highways here, so the driver keeps a steady, unhurried pace.
Lunch
Bagepalli, about 240 km from Mysore, sits at about 707 m just below the Andhra border. The highway dhabas serve rice meals and chapati, enough for fifteen people in half an hour, and the van fills fuel. Mulberry for silk grows on the watered fields here, and groundnut on the dry ones. In this semi arid country only one rain fed crop grows a year. The check post at the border is about 15 km on.
Border check post
At Kodikonda, about 255 km out, the tempo traveller crosses from Karnataka into Andhra Pradesh. The driver stops at the check post and shows the vehicle permit while the group stays seated; it takes a few minutes. After the border the van leaves NH44 and turns towards Gorantla and Puttaparthi on a smaller road. Gorantla's Madhavaraya temple, a Vijayanagara period shrine on the Chitravathi river, makes a short halt on the return.
Ashram drop
The tempo traveller drops the group near the ashram in Puttaparthi and parks nearby. The town is now headquarters of its own district, Sri Sathya Sai. Everyone should follow the ashram's rules on dress and silence, which are explained at the gate. The approach from the highway passes Kothacheruvu, about 4 km north of town. If the group stays several days, the driver can come back for the return or wait in town, as agreed at booking.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

Plan on roughly 295 km one way and 590 km for the return. Six hours is a fair estimate for the tempo traveller, counting a breakfast halt, lunch near the border, the check post at Kodikonda and the slower road via Gorantla.
Yes. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
The 13 seater. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
The ashram has its own rules for stays; ask the ashram office before the trip.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. The tempo traveller night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Tolls, parking, GST and the Andhra permit.
November to February. Mornings are cool, around 15 to 17 C near the city in December and January, and the dry country beyond Bagepalli is pleasant by day. On winter mornings fog can sit around Devanahalli until about 8:30, but a 5:30 start from Mysore reaches it later. Summer afternoons on this road are long and dry.
Yes. Behind the last row there is room for suitcases, so a group staying several days at the ashram can bring proper bags. Keep a day bag at your seat for water, medicines and a change of clothes. Mention how many suitcases are coming when you book, and we size the van to match.
