Early start
At five the cab is waiting outside. Saundatti is close to 555 km away, 11.5 to 12 hours of driving if you go straight through, so the day starts in the dark. Instead of the expressway, the car heads out on the KRS and Pandavapura side towards Nagamangala, the same direction as the railway line that runs from Mysore Junction to Hassan by Krishnarajasagara. Carry a light shawl, as the plateau is cool before sunrise, and a change of clothes for the temple ritual.
Breakfast
Nagamangala, about 70 km out, is breakfast. Small tiffin rooms in the old town serve tea, idli and the usual morning plates, and twenty minutes is plenty for four people. The Saumyakeshava temple stands in the old quarter if anyone wants a quick look. If you would rather eat later, tell the driver; he follows your plan. North of the town the cab takes NH150A, the old Mysore to Tumakuru road, past Bellur Cross.
Tea and fuel
Tumkur (Tumakuru), around 155 km from home, is a quick tea and fuel stop. Here the cab joins NH48, the trunk road north, and stays on it through Chitradurga, Davangere and Haveri all the way to Dharwad. Ten minutes will do. If anyone in the car follows Lingayat tradition, the Siddaganga Matha is about 5 km from the city, but on a ten hour day it is better kept for the return.
Lunch
Chitradurga is lunch, close to 285 km from Mysore, half an hour. Look up at the fort as you come in: seven walls of stone climb the rocky hill, and the parking is beside Gate 3 if you ever stop longer. The hills around are dotted with wind turbines. The cab stays on NH48 after lunch, with about 65 km to Davangere. The land from here is drier and flatter, and the AC earns its keep.
Tea and snack
At Davangere, roughly 350 km out, stop for a benne dose, the butter dosa this city is known for, and a coffee. Ten minutes is enough for a car load. The city sits in the middle of the state and was once a busy cotton mill town. From Davangere it is about 70 km to Haveri and about 145 km to Hubli, so the afternoon is mostly highway. Ranebennur comes about 35 km after the city, on the same highway.
Short halt
Haveri, about 420 km from Mysore, is a ten minute break only if someone asks. The district is known for cardamom garlands and Byadagi chillies; if you want to buy chilli powder, this is the belt it comes from. Between Haveri and Hubli the highway passes Shiggaon and the Utsav Rock Garden at Gotagodi. Hubli is about 75 km on, a little over an hour. The town's own Siddheshwara temple is a Western Chalukya shrine, close to the highway.
Tea
Hubli, about 495 km out, is the evening tea stop. Hubli and Dharwad are twin cities about 20 km apart, run by one corporation since 1962, and Hubli is also a railway division headquarters. Fifteen minutes for tea and restrooms. If you prefer to sleep here and drive the last stretch next morning, the driver can do that; tell him at this halt. Kundagol, with its Shambulingeshwara temple, is about 20 km from Hubli, for a future visit.
Drive through
Dharwad, about 515 km from Mysore, is the town where the cab leaves NH48. Saundatti and its Yellamma temple are about 41 km from here by the town article, so the driver turns off for the last hour. Dharwad is called the cultural capital of Karnataka, the home of Hindustani music and of writers such as Da Ra Bendre. It also has more and better hotels than Saundatti, useful if you want a comfortable night after darshan.
Parking below the temple
By cab it is about 11.5 to 12 hours of driving to Saundatti. The car parks on the hill below the temple, and the walk up is short. Devotees usually bathe at the Yogarbavi Satyamma Kunda at the foot of the hill and change into new clothes before going in. The government has built dharmashalas and health centres for pilgrims here. Meals near the temple are simple, with temple prasada. Dharwad has better hotels for the night.
Need a Mysore to Saundatti cab for four to seven people for darshan at the Yellamma temple? Saundatti (Savadatti) is roughly 555 km away, via Tumakuru, Chitradurga and Hubli. Our car to Saundatti picks you up at a hotel on JLB Road or Mysore airport at Mandakalli. Book a Mysore to Saundatti taxi through cab rental in Mysore: Dzire or Etios for four, Innova or Crysta for seven.

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.

Saundatti is about 555 km from Mysore, so the round trip is close to 1,110 km. The cab goes by Nagamangala to Tumkur (Tumakuru), then NH48 through Chitradurga, Davangere, Haveri and Hubli to Dharwad, and the last 40 km off the highway. It is about 11.5 to 12 hours of driving, done in one long day by car.
An Innova Crysta. Six people and their bags fit. The full car list is on cab rental in Mysore.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. It is shown in the quote. Rate card figure: ₹400 a night.
Yes. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
Not included. Tolls, parking, permits and GST are added at actual cost.
Yes. The driver waits at each place; local km there are added at the same rate.
Late October to early February is mild and nearly dry around Dharwad and Saundatti, the most comfortable time. The rains fall from June to September. Full moon days bring huge crowds to the temple in any season, so if you want a quieter darshan, check the calendar and avoid them.
It is long, so we keep it gentle: breakfast at Nagamangala, lunch at Chitradurga and three tea halts. Elders get the front seat and cushions. If they tire, the cab can stop for the night at Chitradurga or Hubli and finish the drive next morning; just tell the driver.
