Group pickup
The mini bus picks up the group at five. Many pilgrims carry flowers for the Yellamma puja; Mysore mallige, the city's own jasmine, keeps for a day if wrapped in a damp cloth. Load water cans, bags for four days and the puja items in the rear. The mini bus leaves by the KRS and Pandavapura side towards Nagamangala, and the night halt is Chitradurga, about 285 km on. Elders should take the front seats.
Breakfast
Nagamangala is the breakfast halt, half an hour. Roadside hotels in this town see many groups, so twenty plates come out fast and the mini bus can stand at the door. Tea and tiffin are what the town is known for. The Saumyakeshava temple is in the old town. Count heads before leaving. From Nagamangala the mini bus takes NH150A north, past Bellur Cross, to Tumakuru. Rooms are available in Nagamangala too, if a slower trip is ever planned with Adichunchanagiri.
Tea and fuel
Tumkur (Tumakuru) is the tea and fuel stop, twenty minutes. Thatte idli, the plate sized idli, is said to have started at Kyathsandra in this district, if anyone is still hungry. The city's railway station is in the centre, useful if a member joins late. After the halt the mini bus joins NH48 north to Chitradurga, about 130 km. Fill the water cans at the pump's tap, and give one leader the job of counting heads at the door.
Night halt
Chitradurga is the night halt for the group. Tickets for the fort are bought by scanning a QR code at the gate, and the phone signal can be weak, so buy them online first. Parking near Gate 3 has basic toilets and drinking water. Wear sturdy shoes. Book a hotel with space for the mini bus. Next morning the group leaves early on NH48. Phone the dinner order from Tumakuru so the meal is on the table after the fort walk.
Breakfast
Davangere is breakfast on day two, thirty minutes for the group. The city's markets are good for textiles, a link to its cotton mill past, and the butter dosa is the local breakfast. Santhebennur, in the district, has a well known stepped tank, the Pushkarani, for another trip. After breakfast the mini bus continues on NH48 past Ranebennur. Elders get the first plates. Ranebennur is about 35 km after Davangere, and Haveri follows.
Tea
Haveri is the tea halt, twenty minutes. The Siddheshwara temple in Haveri is a Western Chalukya temple close to town. The Tarakeshwara temple at Hangal is about 40 km from the Haveri station, another day's outing. The group can buy Byadagi chilli powder here, known for its deep red colour. Hubli is about 75 km on, via Shiggaon. Elders can rest in the shade by the mini bus while the others shop for chilli.
Lunch
Hubli is the lunch halt for the group, forty minutes. The city was rebuilt as a trading town in 1727 and is still a busy market. Kundagol, with the Shambulingeshwara temple, is about 20 km away. Book lunch for twenty ahead. After lunch the mini bus takes NH48 for the short run to Dharwad, about 20 km. The group can refill the water cans here, since the temple area has only simple shops and the afternoon is warm.
Drive through
At Dharwad the mini bus leaves NH48 for Saundatti, about 41 km by the district road. Dharwad is the cultural capital of Karnataka, and its pedha is sold everywhere. The group may stay in Dharwad after darshan, as hotels there are better than in Saundatti. Belagavi is about 75 km on from Dharwad if the group plans to continue. Elders should use the restrooms before the district road, as the next stop is the temple hill itself.
Group parking
By mini bus it is roughly twelve and a half hours of driving from Mysore, over two days. The mini bus parks on the hill below the temple. Devotees go round the Satyamma temple with neem leaves in their mouths, a ritual the group will see. Simple meals and temple prasada are available. Full moon fairs bring huge crowds, so tell us your date. Keep the bags locked in the mini bus while the group goes up for darshan.
Need a Mysore to Saundatti mini bus for 15 to 25 people for darshan at the Yellamma temple? Saundatti (Savadatti) is around 555 km from Mysuru via Tumakuru, Chitradurga and Hubli. We have offered mini bus on rent in Mysore since 2009. For Saundatti we pick up from your home in Ramakrishnanagar or your home in Vijayanagar. One mini bus, one driver who knows the halts.

Reaching Saundatti means near 555 km of road from Mysore, or some 1,110 km with the return. Twenty pilgrims in the mini bus ride by Nagamangala and Tumkur (Tumakuru), rest at Chitradurga, and next day follow NH48 by Davangere, Haveri and Hubli to Dharwad, then the temple road. Plan around twelve and a half hours of driving.
It is highway nearly all the way from Tumakuru to Dharwad, so a big bus keeps a steady speed.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. The quote lists it. ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night is the mini bus rate.
Yes. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
The 25 seater, so seats for all and space for bags. Each size and rate is on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Not included. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
Late October to early February is mild and dry around Dharwad and Saundatti. Summer, March to May, is hot on the plains and at the temple. The rains from June to September make the hill paths slippery. Full moon fairs are the most crowded days of the year, so plan around them.
Seat elders at the front, serve them first at each meal and give them ground floor rooms at Chitradurga. At Saundatti the mini bus parks on the hill below the temple, but there is still a walk, so let elders go slowly with a helper. The dharmashalas and health centres near the temple are useful if anyone feels unwell.
