Pickup before dawn
The cab comes for you at half past four. Shirdi is about 1,040 km away, two full days of driving with a night at Hungund. Many families like a darshan at the Chamundeshwari temple on Chamundi Hill, about 13 km from the city, before a long pilgrimage; do it the day before, not on the morning you leave. Pack for five or six days, with warm clothes for the early hours in winter. The car leaves on the expressway and the first coffee is at Maddur.
First coffee
Maddur comes up about 80 km and an hour and a quarter from home. The car takes the exit into the old town for a quick coffee and a Maddur vada, crisp and flat, eaten standing by the stall. Ten minutes is enough at this hour. Here the Shimsha river flows under the road. From Maddur the cab turns north on the state highway through Kunigal, the shortest way to Tumakuru and the national highway north.
Breakfast
Tumkur (Tumakuru), about 150 km from Mysore, is where you eat breakfast, twenty minutes at a highway hotel. From here the cab takes NH48, the trunk road that runs north towards Pune, and stays on it till Chitradurga. Tumakuru's district grows coconut, areca nut, ragi and groundnut, so the views turn green with palms for a while. Fill the water bottles; the next proper halt is lunch, about two and a half hours away.
Lunch
Chitradurga is lunch on day one, about 280 km out. Half an hour, as the day is long. The fort here is famous for the Obavvana Kindi, a gap in the rocks where Onake Obavva is said to have held off Hyder Ali's soldiers; it can still be seen if you ever stop longer. From Chitradurga the cab leaves NH48 for NH50, the road that runs north east through Kudligi and Hosapete towards Vijayapura.
Tea
Kudligi is a short tea halt on NH50. The town is busy around Ugadi, when the Kottala Anjaneya festival draws crowds from the villages. On other days it is quiet, and ten minutes is plenty for tea and a stretch. The country here is dry and stony. After Kudligi comes Mariyammanahalli, and Hosapete is about 45 km on, an hour of steady driving. The driver checks the coolant here, as the afternoon on this plain gets hot.
Tea and fuel
Hosapete is the next halt, about 415 km from Mysore, for fuel and tea. If anyone in the car has relatives in Ballari, it is about 60 km from here. Hampi lies 13 km away, but there is no time today; it makes a fine stop on the way home. From Hosapete NH50 runs north through Kushtagi and Ilkal, and the night halt at Hungund is about 110 km on, roughly two hours.
Night halt
Hungund is the night halt, about 525 km from Mysore, roughly half way to Shirdi. Book your rooms before the trip. Just before the town the cab passes Ilkal, 12 km to the south, the home of the Ilkal sari and of red granite quarries, and the women in the car may want to stop there on the return. Dinner and an early night; the driver rests too, and day two starts at dawn.
Breakfast
Vijayapura, the official name of Bijapur, is breakfast on day two, about 85 km after Hungund. The Gol Gumbaz, tomb of Muhammad Adil Shah, has a whispering gallery under one of the largest domes of its time; if you have twenty minutes spare, a quick look is possible. Otherwise eat and move on. The road now heads north towards the Maharashtra border, and Solapur is about 95 to 100 km away.
Lunch
Solapur, in south Maharashtra, is lunch on day two, about 710 km from Mysore. Kannada and Telugu are spoken here along with Marathi, so you will still hear familiar words. The town is famous for Solapur chaddars, cotton blankets woven on jacquard looms, a good buy for home. From Solapur the Shirdi road goes by Mohol, Karmala and Ahmednagar, about 230 km more. Solapur sits at about 458 m, lower than Mysore, so expect warmer afternoons from here on.
Tea
Karmala is a short tea stop about 120 km after Solapur. The town's Kamala Bhavani temple is known for the number 96: a well with 96 steps, 96 pillars and 96 pictures at the top. It is close to the road if anyone wants a quick darshan. From Karmala to Ahmednagar is about 100 km more, and Shirdi lies beyond that, so this is the last halt before evening. Keep some cash for the small stalls near the temple.
Tea and dinner
Ahmednagar is about 955 km from Mysore. Road signs may say Ahilyanagar, the new name of the city and district. The British held Jawaharlal Nehru and other leaders in the Ahmednagar fort, and some of its rooms are now a museum. Twenty minutes for tea or an early dinner, then the final stretch: Shirdi is about 85 km on via Rahuri, close to two hours. It is a good place to refuel, so the car reaches Shirdi with a full tank for local trips.
Drop near the temple
After about nineteen hours of driving over two days, the driver drops you at your hotel near the temple. Book darshan online with the Shri Saibaba Sansthan before you leave Mysore, as the queues are long. Meals at the Sai Prasadalaya are simple and clean. The cab can wait in Shirdi while you stay, and take you on to nearby places on the following days. Tell the driver your darshan slot, so he can plan the pickup times around it.

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.

Shirdi is about 1,040 km from Mysore one way, about 2,080 km for the return. The cab goes by Maddur and Tumkur (Tumakuru) to Chitradurga, on NH50 through Hosapete to a night at Hungund, then by Vijayapura, Solapur and Ahmednagar. It takes about nineteen hours of driving over two days.
Yes. The driver stays nearby; the allowance is per day.
No, they are separate. GST, tolls, parking and any permit are charged at actual.
Driving late at night means a night allowance for the driver. You see it in the quote first. Rate card figure: ₹400 a night.
The Innova Crysta. Every size is listed on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes, that works. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
October to February is the easiest season. The plains of north Karnataka and the Ahmednagar side are hot from March to May, and Ahmednagar gets little rain, so summer days on the road are dusty and long. In the monsoon the roads stay open, but allow extra time for slow stretches.
Yes, if they rest well. Each day has a breakfast, lunch and two or three tea halts, and the night at Hungund splits the trip. Give elders the front seat, carry cushions and keep their medicines handy. If one day feels too long, we can add a night at Solapur; tell us at booking.
