Pickup in Mysuru
Seniors heading for darshan are collected at 5:30 from a palace area hotel, the Suburban bus stand or home. The government silk weaving unit on Manandavadi Road, where visitors can watch sarees on the looms, is a pleasant outing for the day the group returns. The Urbania heads west on the Hunsur road for some 25 km and then turns at Bilikere onto SH57, which runs north through KR Nagar to Hassan. Sirsi is about eight and a half hours away.

Breakfast
Seniors take breakfast at Hassan, 120 km from Mysore, with thirty unhurried minutes while the driver refuels. Close to the city, the Mosale twin temples date from about 1200, a peaceful visit for some other day. Ragi mudde with green curry is the filling local plate, and the filter coffee is strong. Anyone who would rather sit can stay in the Urbania with the AC on. Kadur is about 80 km further, and the road stays smooth.

Tea
A quarter hour at Kadur, 200 km out, gives seniors tea and a restroom break. This town, the second biggest in its district, was the district headquarters until 1865, and it sits at about 760 m in a drier belt than the hills ahead. Tea can be carried to the Urbania for anyone who would rather stay seated, and the driver uses the stop to look over the tyres. Shivamogga, for lunch, is about 75 km on.

Lunch
Midday brings the Urbania to Shivamogga, the Shimoga of older signboards, 275 km from home. Forty five minutes allows seniors a slow lunch and a few minutes of rest in the shade. Anyone keen on temples should note the three shrine Lakshmi Narasimha temple at Bhadravathi, built around 1250, which sits about 20 km back along the highway and suits the return day. From here the Urbania heads on along NH69 to Sagar, roughly 75 km ahead.

Tea
Tea is at Sagar, 350 km from Mysore, for twenty restful minutes by the Varada river. Followers of Sridhara Swami often stop at Varadahalli, his resting place about 6 km along the Jog road, and seniors may want that on another visit. If anyone in the group must fly before the trip ends, Shivamogga airport is about 78 km from this town. After tea the Urbania begins the climb north through forest to Siddapur and Sirsi, roughly 70 km.

Drive through
Siddapur, 390 km from Mysore, is a small town among areca and spice gardens, and the Urbania drives through it. The forest grows thick from here, and the road bends often, so the driver keeps a gentle pace for seniors. Tea shops line the main road if a restroom is needed. Sirsi lies 30 km on, over the hills, so the group arrives soon after. Those who feel unwell on bends can take the front seats here.

Hotel drop
The Urbania pulls up at the hotel in Sirsi after roughly eight and a half hours on the road, and its low step lets seniors down without strain. We request ground floor rooms in advance. Sirsi's climate is gentle, with a yearly average near 24 C, so the evening walk is comfortable. For dinner, a Havyaka meal with tambli, a cooling curd dish, sits lightly after a long day. Hubli airport is about two and a half hours away for anyone flying home.

Yes. November to February is dry and pleasant around Sirsi, and the forest roads are easy. The 5:30 am start from Mysore can be cool, so seniors should keep a shawl. The monsoon months bring very heavy rain and slippery ghat roads.
