Pickup
The Urbania collects you at 6:30 from a home, a hotel or Mysore Junction. The first toll on the expressway is at Gananguru, near Srirangapatna, and the van carries a working FASTag so there is no queue at the booth. Shivagange is about 185 km away, around three and a half hours with breakfast. Elders who will not climb can still enjoy the base temple and the view, so bring them along. Mandya is the first town, 45 km out.
Optional halt
Mandya is 45 km from Mysore, and the Urbania stops here only if someone wants tea or juice. The town is the centre of a sugarcane district, and its jaggery is the district's chosen special product. Elders often like a block of it to take home. October is the wettest month in Mandya, and a rain shower can make the rock slippery at Shivagange, so check the sky. Ramanagara, where we eat breakfast, is 50 km further.
Breakfast
Ramanagara, about 95 km out, is the breakfast stop. Choose a highway hotel with parking so elders do not walk far; twenty minutes is plenty. The town is the headquarters of its own district since 2007, and its granite is known as Closepet granite. Janapada Loka, the folk museum on the highway, shows masks, puppets and village tools, but it is closed on Tuesdays. From here the Urbania drives round the city to the Tumkur highway.
Drive through
Nelamangala, about 160 km from Mysore, is where the Urbania joins the Tumkur highway. This is a truck heavy junction, and on long weekends the toll plaza near the NH75 split can hold traffic for a long time, so we choose the travel day with care. The van does not stop. Shivagange is about 25 km on, past Dobbaspet. Elders can rest now; the final stretch is short, and the driver will call out the turn so everyone is ready with shoes and water.
Supplies
Dobbaspet, about 180 km out, is the turn off NH48 for Shivagange. A five minute stop is enough to buy water and fruit, because the stalls at the base are small. The town takes its name from Major General Richard Stewart Dobbs, the first collector of Tumkur district. A state highway runs north from here to Koratagere and Madhugiri. The base of the hill is a short drive off the highway, about 5 to 8 km.
Base temple
The Urbania parks close to the base temple, so elders have only a short walk. Climbers set off on the marked trail, which is steep near the top; elders can wait near the temple and the stalls, which sell tea, buttermilk and snacks. Monkeys roam the hill, so keep food bags closed. The shrine on the hill is a protected monument. The van waits at the base for as long as the climb takes, usually two to three hours.
Want a Mysore to Shivagange Force Urbania for 8 to 16 people, for a temple visit with elders? It is comfortable on the expressway and parks close to the base temple. We arrange Force Urbania on rent in Mysore with a driver at Tejas Tours & Travels.

A family of ten fits the 10 seater Urbania. Twelve or thirteen travelling: 13 seater Urbania. At most sixteen: 16 seater Urbania. Eight people going to Shivagange? The 8 seater Urbania.
Watching the budget? The Mysore to Shivagange tempo traveller takes the same group for less. Only five or six people? The Mysore to Shivagange cab is enough. For local use there is Force Urbania hire in Mysore.

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.

About 185 km by road, or about 370 km for a same day return. The Urbania uses the expressway via Ramanagara, the Tumkur highway from Nelamangala, and the short road from Dobbaspet to the base. Plan about 3.5 hours with breakfast.
On request, yes. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
No. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
The 16 seater, with two seats free. All sizes are on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
The driver gets a night allowance when the drive goes late into the night. The quote lists it. It is ₹700 a night for the Urbania.
The base temple is easy. The climb is steep, so seniors usually stay below.
From Nelamangala the Urbania runs on NH48, a wide highway with heavy truck traffic on weekdays, especially near the industrial area at Dobbaspet. The turn for Shivagange is at Dobbaspet, and the last 5 to 8 km are on a smaller road. The driver keeps it gentle there, which suits elders.
In the Urbania. The van parks near the base temple and the driver waits there all through the climb, so bags, spare clothes and lunch boxes stay inside. Take only water, a cap and a small snack up the hill; monkeys go after open bags and food.
