Group pickup
The mini bus picks up the group at four. If anyone wants a Mysore masala dosa, with its red chutney spread inside, have it the night before, as the bus leaves too early for breakfast in town. Load water cans, bags for a week and a first aid box in the rear. The trip has one night at Hungund, and groups who want shorter days can add a second at Solapur. The mini bus takes the expressway to Maddur.

Coffee
Maddur is the first coffee, about 80 km out. The mini bus comes off the expressway into the old town. The Shimsha flows through Maddur, and locals call the river Madduru Hole. Fifteen minutes for coffee and vada for the group, one head count, and the mini bus turns north onto State Highway 33 towards Kunigal and Tumakuru. The driver checks the tyres while the group has coffee, and the water cans are topped up from the stall's tap.

Breakfast
Breakfast is in Tumkur (Tumakuru), around 150 km from the start. A hotel with parking out front can serve twenty people in half an hour. If anyone is joining the group late by train, the city's station is right in the middle of town, close to the bus stand, so the driver can collect them. Many groups also stop at Siddaganga Matha, some 5 km away, on the return. After eating, the mini bus takes NH48 north towards Sira, Hiriyur and Chitradurga.

Lunch
Lunch on the first day is in Chitradurga; allow forty minutes for the group. Two sights here need more time than this trip has: the stone fort, which takes half a day, and the Chandravalli caves a few km from it, where diggers found Iron Age remains. Both make a good stop on a slower drive home. Seat elders inside the hotel while the younger ones reload the water cans. Then the mini bus leaves NH48 for NH50.

Tea
Kudligi is the afternoon tea halt. Between Chitradurga and Kudligi the highway crosses Jagalur taluk, and Kudligi itself sits at about 596 m. Fifteen minutes for tea and restrooms, with the mini bus parked on the highway side. The town is known for tamarind. Hosapete is about 45 km on, past Mariyammanahalli. Elders get their tea first, and the younger ones refill the water bottles from the cans while the driver checks the tyres and the radiator for the hot evening run to Hosapete.

Tea
Hosapete grew up in 1520, when Krishnadevaraya laid it out and named it after his mother, Nagamma. Now it runs Vijayanagara district from the bank of the Tungabhadra, and Hampi's ruins are just 13 km off. Give the group fifteen minutes for tea and diesel, and pick up fruit and water cans at the market. One head count at the door, then north on NH50 by Kushtagi and Ilkal to the night stop at Hungund.

Night halt
Hungund is the night halt for the group, about 525 km from Mysore. Book rooms in advance for twenty. The area around Ilkal, 12 km south, quarries red granite and weaves the Ilkal sari. Dinner early, and lights out early, as day two starts before dawn. The mini bus is parked at the hotel and the driver gets a full night's rest. Ask the hotel for breakfast parcels if the group wants to leave before the kitchen opens.

Breakfast
Vijayapura is breakfast on day two, about 85 km from Hungund. Next to the Gol Gumbaz a museum in the old drum house has been open since 1892, a quick visit if the group is fast at breakfast. Thirty minutes. The mini bus then heads north to Solapur, about 95 to 100 km on across the Maharashtra border. Gol Gumbaz, the tomb of Muhammad Adil Shah, has a whispering gallery that groups enjoy if there is time.

Lunch
Solapur is the lunch halt in south Maharashtra, about 710 km from Mysore. The Manacha Ajoba Ganpati temple here has celebrated the Ganesh festival since 1885. Forty minutes for lunch. Groups that prefer shorter days can sleep here and reach Shirdi next morning; Solapur is a common night halt on Shirdi trips. Otherwise the mini bus continues by Mohol and Karmala. Solapur chaddars, cotton blankets from the jacquard looms, are the thing to buy here.

Tea
On the road from Solapur to Ahmednagar, Karmala makes a short tea break. Its Kamala Bhavani temple, raised in 1727 by Rao Raje Nimbalkar, has a stepped well of 96 steps, and the same number repeats in its pillars and painted panels. If the group is quick at tea, there is time for darshan, as it is near the road. Allow fifteen minutes in all. About 100 km remain to Ahmednagar, so use the washrooms here.

Evening halt
In the evening the group halts at Ahmednagar for tea or an early dinner. The city goes back to the late 15th century, when it was set up near the Sina river, and its fort later became a prison for national leaders. Cane lorries are common on the roads here, as the district has many sugar factories and is called the home of the cooperative movement. Thirty minutes, then about 85 km via Rahuri to Shirdi.

Group arrival
About twenty three hours of driving over two days. Book darshan online with the Sansthan before the trip. The mini bus parks near the temple, and simple meals are served at the Prasadalaya. Fix one meeting point and one time for the group before darshan, as the temple area is crowded. The mini bus stays in Shirdi for the return. Elders can ask the Sansthan about help in the queue, and the bus waits at the parking.
Taking 20 devotees on a Mysore to Shirdi mini bus? It costs less to run than a big bus over 1,040 km and parks easily near the temple. Book mini bus on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

Shirdi lies roughly 1,040 km north of Mysore by road, so out and back is near 2,080 km. Our mini bus runs by Maddur, Tumkur (Tumakuru), Chitradurga and Hosapete, stops the night at Hungund, then carries on through Vijayapura, Solapur and Ahmednagar. Reckon on some twenty three hours at the wheel across two days.
Yes, for a Karnataka vehicle. We arrange it and add the cost at cost.
No. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
On request, yes. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
The 16 seater does it. The full size list is on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
A late night return adds the driver night allowance. You see it in the quote first. On our Mysore card that is ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
From Maddur the state highway goes north through Kunigal to Tumakuru, then NH48 to Chitradurga and NH50 to Vijayapura. From Vijayapura the road crosses into Maharashtra to Solapur, then runs by Mohol, Karmala and Ahmednagar, and via Rahuri to Shirdi. Nearly all of it is national or state highway.
Seat elders at the front, serve them first at every meal halt and give them ground floor rooms at Hungund. If two long days are too much, add a night at Solapur. At Shirdi the Sansthan can guide you on help for elders in the darshan line; tablets and inhalers should travel in a hand bag, not the rear.
