Pickup
The Urbania reaches your door at 6:30 am, anywhere in Mysuru, or Mysore Junction for members coming by train; the Rail Museum, opened in 1979, sits right by the station if anyone arrives early with children. Each person can bring one medium bag; it goes in the rear luggage space. We leave on the Hunsur highway, turn onto SH57 at Bilikere and reach KR Nagar after about 40 km. Shivamogga is roughly five and a half hours away with halts.
Tea halt
First tea halt is KR Nagar, roughly 40 km out, where the Urbania pulls over on the main road for fifteen minutes. About 4 km from town, Ramanahalli village looks over the KRS backwaters, a quiet view for anyone who wants a short drive on the way back. January is the driest month here and October the wettest, so autumn trips can be damp. Holenarasipura lies about 45 km ahead, then Hassan for breakfast.
Breakfast
At Hassan, close to 120 km from Mysore, the group stops for breakfast in a family restaurant where the driver can park right beside the door. Twelve can share a corner table. Ask for akki rotti or kadubu with coconut chutney, plus a cup of Malnad filter coffee. If the group loves nature, Gendekatte biodiversity park, roughly 6 km out of the city, makes a gentle outing another day. Allow thirty minutes, then north towards Arsikere, about 45 km.
Snack halt
Fifteen minutes at Arsikere, around 165 km out, cover snacks and washrooms. Perched near 806 to 812 m, the town is the coconut capital of this belt. History lovers can look out for two old forts nearby, Nagapuri on Hirekal hill, roughly 11 km north, and the ruins at Haranahalli, some 8 km south. Elders may stay in the cool cabin while others stretch. Kadur is about 38 km on, and Belur roughly 60 km west for a detour on the return.
Drive on
The Urbania goes straight through Kadur, close to 205 km from Mysore. Until 1865 this was the headquarters of its own district, and today the dry country around it grows areca and coconut. Railway travellers know Kadur Junction, about 7 km from Birur. Rain is light here, usually below 750 mm a year, so the road surface is rarely wet. Bhadravathi is about 50 km ahead, and Shivamogga roughly 70 km.
Restroom halt
Bhadravathi, roughly 255 km out, is a ten minute halt. The town grew round its steel plant and a large paper mill, and its Lakshmi Narasimha temple is a Hoysala building of about 1250 CE with three shrines. Shivamogga is only about 20 km on, and the Bhadra dam at Lakkavalli lies about 28 km from Shivamogga, so it fits a day out from the city. Elders can stay seated while others use the restroom.
Arrival
Five and a half hours after leaving Mysore, halts included, the Urbania delivers the group to its hotel door in Shivamogga (Shimoga). The Tunga runs through the city at about 569 m. Kuvempu University sits roughly 20 km away, and the poet's family home at Kuppalli, now a museum, is near Thirthahalli, about 60 km on. City shops sell appe midi, the little mango pickle from nearby Sagar. October to March brings the cool, clear weather.

Totals are the km fare plus the day driver allowance. Extra: night driver allowance (₹700 a night), tolls, parking and 5% GST. Shared by 16, 3 days in the 16 Seater Urbania is about ₹2,380 a person.

Watching the budget? The Mysore to Shivamogga tempo traveller takes the same group for less. Five or six on the Shivamogga trip? The Mysore to Shivamogga cab is enough. Local use is covered under 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.

Mysore to Shivamogga (Shimoga) is about 275 km one way, about 550 km both ways. The Urbania drives SH57 by KR Nagar to Hassan, then Arsikere, Kadur and Bhadravathi into the city. Driving time is about five and a half hours with breakfast and short halts.
If the return runs late at night, the driver gets a night allowance. It is shown in the quote. Our card says ₹700 per night.
Yes, quoted when you ask. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
Yes. The driver waits and the allowance is per day.
The 10 seater, or the 12 seater if you carry big suitcases. All sizes are on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
No. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
Good. SH57 and the highway through Arsikere and Kadur are mostly plain, and Kadur sits in a rain shadow, so the first two thirds of the trip are often dry. Most of Shivamogga's rain falls from June to early October; the Urbania drives slower in heavy showers near Bhadravathi. October to March is the easy season.
Yes. Each traveller gets room for one medium suitcase in the rear bay. Keep water, snacks and any tablets in a small bag at your seat. If Jog Falls is on the plan from Shivamogga, pack a spare set of clothes in that bag as well, because the railings and viewpoints get soaked.
