Pickup before dawn
The tempo traveller arrives at half past four. If you leave during Dasara, the palace is lit with nearly 100,000 bulbs from 7 to 10 pm every night of the festival, so the family can see it the evening before departure. Pack for six days; bags go behind the last row. The trip has one night halt at Hungund. The van takes the expressway out of Mysore and heads for Maddur, about 80 km.

Snack halt
Maddur is the first halt, after about an hour and a quarter. The van comes off the expressway into the old town, where the vada shops are. Tender coconut is the trade here, so a coconut each is cheap and refreshing. Fifteen minutes, one head count, and the tempo traveller turns onto State Highway 33 towards Kunigal and Tumakuru, the road north to the national highway. Children can stretch by the stalls while the driver checks the tyres.

Breakfast
The family has breakfast at Tumkur (Tumakuru), about 150 km out. Thirty minutes for a group of a dozen. Tumakuru is the meeting point of NH73 to Mangaluru and NH48, and the van now takes NH48 north. Siddaganga Matha, about 5 km from the city, is a Lingayat monastery that feeds thousands every day, a stop to plan on the way home. The next halt is lunch at Chitradurga. Fill the water cans at the hotel before leaving.

Lunch
Chitradurga is the lunch halt on day one, about 280 km from Mysore. Forty minutes. The upper fort holds 18 old temples, and the Hidimbeshwara is the oldest of them; it is a stop for another day, as the fort needs hours. The children will spot the wind turbines on the hills. After lunch the tempo traveller turns onto NH50 towards Kudligi and Hosapete. Elders can rest in the shade of the hotel while the younger ones eat first.

Tea
Kudligi is the afternoon tea stop on NH50. In Kudligi taluk is the Gudekote sloth bear sanctuary, about 38 sq km of scrub and rock, and children may like hearing that bears live so close to the road. Fifteen minutes for tea and restrooms. Hosapete is about 45 km ahead, past Mariyammanahalli, and Hungund, the night halt, about two and a half hours beyond that. The driver uses the stop to check the tyres and the water level.

Tea
Hosapete is a short tea stop, about 415 km from Mysore. Across the Tungabhadra from Hampi is Anegundi, older than Hampi and linked to the Kishkindha of the Ramayana, worth knowing if the family returns this way with time to spare. Buy fruit at the market here. The van then heads north on NH50 through Kushtagi and Ilkal to Hungund, about 110 km. Keep the fruit in the cool box behind the last row for the evening.

Night halt
Hungund is the night halt, roughly half of the 1,040 km. Book rooms in advance. Amingad, close by, is known for karadantu, a rich sweet of dry fruit and jaggery; buy a box for the road. Ilkal, 12 km south, is the town of Ilkal saris. An early dinner and an early night, because day two is almost as long as day one and the van leaves at dawn. The van is parked at the hotel overnight, locked, with the bags inside.

Breakfast
Vijayapura, about 85 km from Hungund, is breakfast on day two. The Ibrahim Rauza here, the tomb and mosque of Ibrahim Adil Shah II finished in 1627, is famous for its stone carving, if the family wants a quick photo. Thirty minutes for breakfast. The tempo traveller then heads north to the Maharashtra border; Solapur is about 95 to 100 km on, via the Indi area. Children usually love the echo story of the big dome, so tell it on the drive.

Lunch
Solapur is the lunch stop on day two, in south Maharashtra. The city's main deity is Shivayogi Siddheshwar, and the big Siddheshwar yatra, with the Nandi dhwaj procession, is held around Makar Sankranti, when the city is crowded. Forty minutes for lunch. From here the road goes by Mohol and Karmala to Ahmednagar and Shirdi, about 230 km. If you want Solapur chaddars, the cotton blankets the town is known for, ask the driver to stop near a shop after lunch; they fold flat behind the seats.

Tea
Karmala is the afternoon tea stop, about 120 km after Solapur. The Kamala Bhavani temple here was built by Rao Raje Nimbalkar in 1727, and the family can see it in fifteen minutes as it is close to the road. Ahmednagar is about 100 km ahead. Fill the water bottles; the last stretch passes through dry country with few stops. The family is now on the Solapur to Ahmednagar road, a quieter highway, and the children can nap until the evening halt.

Evening halt
Ahmednagar is the evening halt for tea or dinner, about 955 km from Mysore. The district is called the birthplace of the cooperative movement, and you pass many sugar factories on the way in. Thirty minutes. Shirdi is about 85 km on via Rahuri, under two hours, so the family reaches the hotel by night. The fort here is where the British once kept Jawaharlal Nehru and other leaders, and some rooms are a museum now; save it for the return if the family is interested.

Hotel near the temple
About twenty one hours of driving over two days. The tempo traveller parks near the temple and drops the family at the hotel. Meals at the Sai Prasadalaya are simple and clean. Book darshan online with the Sansthan before leaving Mysore, so the family does not lose a day in queues. The van stays with you in Shirdi for the return. Agree with the driver on pickup times for the darshan days, and keep his number in every phone.

The Mysore to Shirdi distance is about 1,040 km by road, so about 2,080 km for the return. The tempo traveller goes via Maddur, Tumkur (Tumakuru), Chitradurga and Hosapete to Hungund for the night, then Vijayapura, Solapur, Karmala and Ahmednagar. Plan on about twenty one hours of driving over two days.
Driving late at night means a night allowance for the driver. Night bata: ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Yes. It is around 70 km from Shirdi. Keep half a day for Shirdi.
The 9 seater is enough, or the 12 seater with lots of bags. The full size list is on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
It can be done. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
No. You pay tolls, parking, permits and GST at actual, with receipts.
National highways for most of it: NH48 from Tumakuru to Chitradurga, NH50 to Vijayapura, then the highway to Solapur and the Solapur to Ahmednagar road through Mohol and Karmala, and on to Shirdi via Rahuri. Town stretches in Hosapete, Vijayapura and Solapur are slower. The tempo traveller handles the whole route comfortably.
Suitcases ride in the rear of the tempo traveller, one for each person. For the night at Hungund, pack a separate small bag so nobody has to unpack the big ones. At your seat, carry drinking water, snacks, any medicines and a shawl. Leave some room if you mean to buy Solapur chaddars or Ilkal saris along the way.
