Pickup at home
Our Urbania collects you at half past five. The van uses the outer ring road, which meets the KRS road, so it leaves town without crossing the centre and heads north by Pandavapura. It is AC, with reclining seats and a wide door that suits elders. Tonight's hotel is at Chitradurga, about 285 km away, so the first day is gentle. Pack new clothes for the temple bath and a shawl for the cool mornings.
Breakfast
At Nagamangala the van stops twenty five minutes for tiffin. Ten or twelve people are served quickly at the hotels by the bus stand, and the driver eats at the same time so there is no wait later. The Saumyakeshava temple is in the old town. Nagamangala is also the town with rooms closest to the Adichunchanagiri math. The Urbania then takes NH150A north towards Bellur Cross and Tumakuru. Elders can take their morning tablets here.
Tea and fuel
Tumkur (Tumakuru) is a short tea and fuel stop. NH73 to Mangaluru meets NH48 here, so the junctions are busy, and the driver chooses a pump that is easy to reach. Elders can use the restrooms before the long highway run. Shivagange hill is about 25 km away, for another trip. From here the Urbania keeps to NH48 to Chitradurga, about 130 km. Fill the water bottles here for the long stretch north, and keep a snack within reach of each seat.
Night halt
The Urbania stops for the night at Chitradurga. Elders can rest in the afternoon; the younger ones may walk the fort, whose upper part has 18 old temples. If anyone wants a quieter outing, the Murugha Matha is among the city's places of interest. October to March is the most pleasant season here. Next morning the Urbania continues on NH48 to Davangere. Ask for ground floor rooms for the elders, and an early breakfast parcel for the morning.
Breakfast
Davangere is breakfast on day two, twenty five minutes. The city's own dish is benne dose; some say its kitchens draw on recipes from all over Karnataka, sitting as it does in the middle of the state. Davangere is a Smart City now. Harihara, with the old Harihareshwara temple on the Tungabhadra, is near the highway for elders who want a short darshan on the way back. Elders get the first plates, and the driver checks the tyres.
Tea
Haveri is the tea stop. The town stands at about 572 m and is known for the Hukkeri Math. Bada, about 25 km away, is the birthplace of the poet saint Kanakadasa. Fifteen minutes for tea and restrooms; elders can walk a little. Then the Urbania continues past Shiggaon to Hubli, about 75 km, in a little over an hour. The district office counts Haveri at about 350 km from the state capital, a measure of how far north you have come since Mysore.
Lunch
Hubli is the lunch stop. Unkal Lake and Kelgeri Lake are in the twin city area, and the Indira Glass House Garden is one of Hubli's parks, pleasant for a short walk after lunch. Forty minutes, with elders served first. Hubli gets about 838 mm of rain a year; late October to early February is mild and dry. Dharwad is about 20 km on. The Chandramouleshwara temple at Unkal, a Chalukya shrine with doors on four sides, is close by for a short visit after lunch.
Drive through
At Dharwad the Urbania leaves NH48 for the district road to Saundatti, about 41 km. Dharwad pedha, the milk sweet made with Dharwadi buffalo milk, is sold all over town, a good gift to carry home. The van does not stop unless needed. For the night after darshan, Dharwad's hotels are more comfortable for elders than Saundatti's. Elders who want a rest before darshan can take it in Dharwad, where Sadhankeri Park, about 5 km from the bus stand, is a quiet green space with benches.
Wait below the temple
The Urbania covers it in about 11.5 to 12 hours of driving over two days. It waits at the parking on the hill below the temple. There is a walk from the parking to the temple, so elders should take it slowly. Meals are simple, with temple prasada. The government has built dharmashalas and health centres for pilgrims. On full moon days crowds are huge, so elders are better on other days.
Want a Mysore to Saundatti Force Urbania for 8 to 16 people for darshan at the Yellamma temple? From Mysuru it is roughly 555 km to Saundatti (Savadatti), via Tumakuru, Chitradurga and Hubli. Pickup for the Saundatti run is from your office in Hebbal or Mysore Junction railway station. We arrange Force Urbania on rent in Mysore with a driver, one rate for every size. Quieter, more headroom, big windows.

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.

Saundatti is about 555 km from Mysore by road, close to 1,110 km for the return. The Urbania travels by Nagamangala and Tumkur (Tumakuru) to a night at Chitradurga, then NH48 through Davangere, Haveri and Hubli to Dharwad and the temple hill. Allow about 11.5 to 12 hours of driving over two days.
The 12 seater, with bag space. See the sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
No. The ₹40/km covers fuel, driver and AC; tolls, parking fees and GST are separate.
The driver gets a night allowance when the drive goes late into the night. Per night it is ₹700.
On the Saundatti trip we arrange it from partner owners with their driver, at our rate and under our booking.
Yes, on request. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
From late October to early February the Dharwad side is mild and nearly dry, the best time for elders. March to May is hot on the plains between Chitradurga and Haveri. The rains, June to September, make the temple hill slippery, so wear shoes with grip on the walk from the parking.
Yes. The AC, reclining seats and the night at Chitradurga keep children fresh. Bring snacks, water and a pillow. At the temple, full moon days are very crowded, so keep small children close, and use the parking below the temple as the meeting point.
