Pickup
The tempo traveller comes to your gate at half past five. Instead of the expressway, the van takes the road towards KRS and Pandavapura, which on Vijayadashami is one of the entries the police close to traffic, so do not plan to leave on that day. The family sleeps tonight at Chitradurga, about 285 km on. Suitcases and puja items, including new clothes for the temple bath, go in the rear behind the last row of seats.
Breakfast
About 70 km out, Nagamangala gives the family half an hour for breakfast, with tea and tiffin ready fast at the small hotels near the bus stand. The van parks close, so elders walk little. In the old part of town stands the Saumyakeshava temple, a short walk away. From here NH150A runs north to Bellur Cross, and the Adichunchanagiri hill is about 6 km off that junction, a place for another day.
Tea and fuel
Tumkur (Tumakuru), near the 155 km mark, is a tea and fuel stop of a quarter of an hour. The road signs here show both Tumkur and Tumakuru, the official name since 2014. From this city the van follows NH48, a broad highway, to Chitradurga. Madhugiri, with its huge rock and fort, lies about 43 km away for keen climbers on another trip. Children can stretch their legs before the long stretch.
Night halt
Chitradurga is the overnight stop, about 285 km from Mysore. The family checks in by mid afternoon, leaving time for the fort, open most days until about 6 pm; wear proper shoes, as it is all rock. Children enjoy the twin tanks cut in the rock, Akka Thangi Honda, and the old granaries inside the walls. Dinner and an early night; the van leaves soon after dawn for Davangere. Ask the hotel for an early breakfast parcel.
Breakfast
Davangere, about 65 km into day two, is breakfast. Order the benne dose, the city's butter dosa, which locals trace to 1927, when a cook named Chennamma opened an eatery here. Thirty minutes for the family. Davangere is a big railway junction on the line to Hubballi. The next stretch passes Ranebennur, about 35 km on, and then Haveri. The children usually ask for a second dosa, so keep the bill open. Fill the water bottles before leaving.
Tea
Haveri is the mid morning tea stop. In this district the Byadgi dry chilli market has run since 1948, often called the largest in Asia, and its busy season is January to April. Byadagi chillies come in two kinds, the short plump dabbi and the long thin kaddi. Fifteen minutes, then the van goes on through Shiggaon to Hubli, about 75 km. The family can buy a packet of chilli powder here for the kitchen at home, and the children can stretch by the van.
Lunch
Hubli is the lunch halt, about 495 km from Mysore. Forty minutes for the family. The Chandramouleshwara temple at Unkal, an 11th to 12th century Chalukya temple with doors on all four sides, is about 7 km from the station, if anyone wants a short visit. After lunch the van takes NH48 for about 20 km to Dharwad. Hubli and Dharwad have run as one city corporation since 1962, though the two towns feel quite different. Fill the water bottles before the last hour.
Drive through
Dharwad, the twin of Hubli, is where the tempo traveller turns off NH48 for Saundatti, about 41 km away. The van does not stop unless someone needs a restroom. Dharwad has a Durgadevi temple in the old fort area with an inscription from 1117, and Sadhankeri Park about 5 km from the bus stand. The family may prefer a Dharwad hotel for the night, as it has better options than Saundatti.
Temple hill
About 11.5 to 12 hours of driving from Mysore, over two days. The tempo traveller parks on the hill below the temple, close to where you need to be. Families bathe at the Yogarbavi Satyamma Kunda at the foot of the hill and change into new clothes before darshan. Meals at the destination are simple, with temple prasada. Full moon fairs bring huge crowds, so tell us your date when you book.
Want a Mysore to Saundatti tempo traveller for twelve of you for darshan at the Yellamma temple? The road to Saundatti (Savadatti) runs via Tumakuru, Chitradurga and Hubli, around 555 km from Mysuru.

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. 👍

By tempo traveller the temple town is near 555 km away, about 1,110 km out and home. The family rides by Nagamangala and Tumkur (Tumakuru), spends a night at Chitradurga, and on day two follows NH48 by Davangere, Haveri and Hubli to Dharwad before turning off for the hill. Roughly 11.5 to 12 hours of driving in all.
They are extra. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. That comes to ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Hubli, about 495 km from Mysore. Saundatti is an hour on.
The 16 seater; two seats are left for bags. See every size on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes, that works. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
From Mysore the van goes by the KRS and Pandavapura side to Nagamangala, then NH150A north by Bellur Cross to Tumakuru. From Tumakuru it is NH48 all the way to Dharwad, through Chitradurga, Davangere, Haveri and Hubli. The last 41 km from Dharwad to Saundatti are on a district road.
Yes. The night at Chitradurga breaks it into two days, and each day has a halt every two hours. Children usually enjoy the fort at Chitradurga and the butter dosa at Davangere. On full moon days the temple is very crowded, so keep small children close or choose another date.
