Pickup in Mysuru
Departure is at 5:30, and the Urbania calls for the elders first, whether at a family home, a hotel near Chamundi Hill or the airport at Mandakalli. Elders who like sweets can plan a box of Mysore pak, made with plenty of ghee, for the journey back. The driver takes the ring road and then NH275 out of town, leaving it near Pandavapura for the KR Pet side. Sirsi, about 395 km away, is tonight's stop, and the river at Sahasralinga follows next morning.
Breakfast
Twenty five unhurried minutes for breakfast are planned at KR Pet, the first town after 55 km. This Mandya district taluk is dotted with Hoysala village temples, and Govindanahalli, close by, has a rare one with five shrines in a single row, built around 1238. It suits elders on some calmer day. Those who would rather not step out can stay seated with the AC running while food is brought to them. Channarayapatna and then Arsikere lie ahead, about 100 km in all.
Tea
Arsikere comes 155 km into the day, and the Urbania halts fifteen minutes for tea and the restroom. The old town once had a fort called Nagapuri on Hirekal hill, about 11 km to the north, though only ruins remain. Elders can stay seated in the cool while somebody fetches tender coconut, the drink of this palm country. Sahasralinga is still about 255 km away, so the driver keeps the halts gentle and regular. Shivamogga, the lunch stop, lies about 95 km along NH69.
Lunch
Shivamogga, which most people still call Shimoga, is the group's lunch stop at 250 km. It stands on the bank of the Tunga, at the doorway to the green Malnad country. Plan about forty minutes so elders can eat slowly and stretch their legs. The district's mango pickle, appe midi, is sold in many shops if anyone wants a jar for home. After lunch the Urbania heads out on NH69 towards Sagar, roughly 75 km, with Sirsi about 145 km off.
Tea
The Urbania pauses at Sagar, 325 km out, for afternoon tea by the Varada river. Small family workshops here turn sandalwood into carvings and garlands, and a piece makes a light, fragrant gift for the pooja room at home. Elders who need the restroom should use it now, because the road beyond climbs into forest with fewer stops. Sirsi is roughly 70 km away through Siddapur, and the river at Sahasralinga about 85 km.
Night halt
Sirsi, 395 km from Mysore, is where the group sleeps. The town sits at about 611 m in the Western Ghats, and its yearly average temperature of around 24 C keeps evenings mild. Hotels here have parking for the Urbania, and we ask for ground floor rooms for elders. For dinner, a Havyaka meal with tambli, a cooling curd dish, is the local choice. Sahasralinga lies only about 15 km on, so the morning starts without hurry after a proper breakfast.
Drop at the entrance
Next morning the Urbania covers the short run from Sirsi towards Sonda and stops at the entrance above the river, completing about nine hours of driving from Mysore. The low step lets everyone get down easily. Steps and a hanging bridge lead down to the Shalmala riverbed, and the stones near the water stay wet and slippery. Carry water and a small towel, and leave bags inside. The driver stays with the Urbania, and Sirsi is under half an hour back.
Thinking of a Mysore to Sahasralinga Force Urbania? On a nine-hour drive its reclining seats and high roof make a real difference for older people. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore. We collect from your Mysuru home, a hotel or Mandakalli airport.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

The road distance is about 410 km each way, about 820 km for the round trip. The Urbania goes by KR Pet, Arsikere, Shivamogga (Shimoga) and Sagar to Sirsi. Allow about 9 hours of driving, with a night in Sirsi before the morning at the river.
On request, yes. One way runs ₹2 per km over the return rate; the quote shows the km.
Sahasralinga suits the 10 or 12 seater. All sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
There are steps and a hanging bridge. Many older people enjoy the view from the bridge itself.
No. 3 days, 900 km at ₹40/km is ₹38,100 for any size, with ₹2,100 driver bata. Tolls, parking and GST are added at cost.
The driver gets a night allowance when the drive goes late into the night. You see it in the quote first. It is ₹700 a night for the Urbania.
Yes. November to February is dry and pleasant around Sirsi, and the river is low, so the lingas show well. The 5:30 am start from Mysore can be cool in December and January, so elders should keep a shawl. The monsoon months bring very heavy rain to this region.
We advise against it with elders. The forest roads between Sirsi and Shivamogga are best driven in daylight, and the return takes about nine hours. A night in Sirsi or Shivamogga and a morning start is safer and more comfortable for everyone.
