Pickup
The Urbania collects you from Mandakalli airport, a hotel or your home in Mysuru at 6:30. Guests from outside often ask for Mysore pak, silk sarees or sandalwood to take home; keep that for the evening, when the shops are still open on your return. The drive to Savandurga is about 130 km on the expressway and then country roads. Climbers should wear sports shoes; the Urbania has space at the back for a change of clothes. Srirangapatna, 15 km out, is the first town.
Drive through
Srirangapatna lies 15 km from Mysore. Elders who skip the climb may like Nimishamba, a quiet riverside shrine a short drive from the island town, on the return. In the morning the Urbania only crosses the island and keeps going, with the river on both sides for a minute. Elders can also see the temple of Ranganatha from outside on the way back, since it lies about a kilometre off the highway, and stalls there sell flowers and pooja items. Breakfast is still 50 km ahead. Mandya is 30 km ahead, and the breakfast halt comes at Maddur.
Drive through
At Mandya, 45 km from Mysore, the Urbania stays on the main road. The district is famous for jaggery made in small units called alemanes; the dark blocks keep well and make a cheap gift. Kikkeri temple, about 14 km off, and the Thirumala Sagar lake, about 6 km off, are for another day. October is the rainy month in Mandya, and that is also when the climb is often shut, so check the forecast before booking.
Breakfast
Breakfast is at Maddur, 65 km along the road. Ask for a plate of Maddur vada with coconut chutney, the crisp fritter that carries the town's name. The Varadaraja temple here has a tall idol carved on both sides, a quiet stop for elders. Twenty five minutes covers breakfast and the restroom. The Urbania reaches the shops by the expressway exit and rejoins the main road after. Keep the stork village of Kokkarebellur for another season.
Drive through
Channapatna is the toy town, 85 km from Mysore. Workshops here show how the lacquered wooden toys are cut, turned and polished, and some run paid sessions where children make their own toy. That needs an hour, so it suits the return. The town also makes lacquered bangles, kitchen pieces and puzzles. The Urbania passes the town on the expressway in the morning. Ramanagara, the last supply stop, is 10 km ahead, at about 95 km.
Supplies
Ramanagara, 95 km out, trades silk cocoons on a huge scale every morning. For today it is the last place for supplies: fruit, water, glucose and snacks for the climbers and for those who wait. Fifteen minutes is enough. Elders who will not climb can sit in the Urbania with the air conditioning on. From here the van leaves the expressway for about 35 km of narrower roads to the base village, so the pace drops.
Base village
At Savandurga the Urbania halts in the village lot below the rock, close to the temples. Elders and children who do not climb can stay near the vehicle in the shade, while climbers set off after paying the forest entry fee. There is no proper restaurant, only small stalls with tea and snacks. The rock is bare and gets slippery when wet, and the climb closes in rain. Allow three hours for the climb and rest before the drive home.

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.

It is roughly 130 km from Mysore to Savandurga, about 260 km there and back. The Urbania uses the expressway through Mandya, Maddur and Channapatna to Ramanagara and then narrower roads to the rock. Allow about 2.5 hours with a breakfast stop.
It can be done. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
It comes from owners we work with, with their driver, booked by us at our rate.
The driver gets a night allowance when the drive goes late into the night. Expect ₹700 a night.
No. The ₹40/km covers fuel, driver and AC; tolls, parking fees and GST are separate.
The 12 seater, with bag space. See the sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Yes, November to February is the best season. Mornings around Mysore are cool then, and the climb is far easier before the sun gets strong. Leave Mysore at about 6:30 and be on the rock by about 9. Carry a light jacket for the drive; it warms up quickly by mid morning.
They can stay at the base village near the temples, where the Urbania parks. The van keeps its air conditioning for them, and small stalls nearby sell tea. A short walk around the foot of the hill is enough for most elders. The climbers usually take two to three hours, so carry a book and snacks.
