Coach pickup
Board the coach at 5 am at one broad point, such as the road near the city bus stand between the palace and KR Circle, so the bus can pull in and out freely. The first toll is at Gananguru near Srirangapatna, on the expressway. Every suitcase goes into the hold, and each pilgrim keeps a small bag for the night at Kurnool, about 505 km away. Count heads against the list before leaving, and again at every halt on this two day trip.

Tea
Mandya, 45 km out, is a tea halt for the coach on the expressway service road. Melukote, a temple town on a hill, lies some 25 km away, and Kunti Betta, a rocky trekking hill near Pandavapura, is in the same district; both make day trips from Mysore. October is Mandya's wettest month, when the service road can be muddy. Fifteen minutes and a head count. Bangalore is about 105 km on.

Breakfast outside the city
The coach stays out of Bangalore, about 150 km from Mysore. Big buses get only seconds to stop at points like Majestic, and the Peenya flyover has been closed to heavy vehicles at times, so the driver uses NICE Road and the Satellite Town Ring Road to reach NH44. Breakfast is at a highway hotel with a large yard north of the city, forty minutes for fifty. Kurnool is about 355 km on.

Restroom
Chikkaballapur, about 210 km from Mysore, is called Panchagiri for its five hills, and Gudibande fort, a seven level hill fort, lies in the same district. The coach makes a fifteen minute stop for tea and toilets at a roadside hotel with a large forecourt, since the town lanes are narrow for a big bus. Count heads, and the bus heads for the Andhra border, about an hour on, with lunch planned at Penukonda.

Lunch
Penukonda lies about 70 km before Anantapur, about 285 km from Mysore. Lunch for fifty is at a large dhaba near the bypass; ring the plate count ahead so the food is ready on arrival. The Babayya Dargah in the town draws both Hindus and Muslims, but the old lanes are tight for a coach, so the bus stays on the highway. Allow an hour for the meal. Anantapur is the next halt, across open, dry country.

Tea and diesel
The coach takes diesel and tea at Anantapur, about 355 km out, pulling in beside the highway near the Sports Village where there is room to turn. Food here carries a lot of chilli, so ask the stalls for mild snacks for children and elders. Twenty minutes, then count heads. Gooty is about 50 km on, and Kurnool, tonight's halt, about 150 km, which puts the bus at the hotel by evening if lunch ran to time.

Tea
Gooty sits about 345 m above sea level, about 405 km from Mysore, where NH44 meets the old Ankola to Bellary highway and heavy traffic turns west to Guntakal and Adoni. Pull into a roadside hotel with ample space in front for twenty minutes of tea; the fort walls on the hills make a backdrop for group photos. Kurnool is a two hour run from here for a full size bus, so this is the last halt of day one.

Night halt
The coach halts for the night at Kurnool, about 505 km from Mysore. The city on the Tungabhadra was once the capital of Andhra State. Book rooms for fifty and bus parking near the start of NH340C, the Srisailam road, so there is no city driving in the morning. Ask the hotel to serve dinner early and set breakfast in packets if the bus leaves at dawn. The forest road is about 175 km on.

Breakfast
Atmakur, about 570 km from Mysore and 67 km from Kurnool, is breakfast on day two for the coach. Pick the biggest hotel on the main road and phone the numbers from Kurnool, so food for fifty is ready. Sangameshwaram is about 30 km away, not on today's plan. Keep forty minutes. After Atmakur the road enters the Nallamala forest, where the bus may stop only at check posts, so everyone uses the toilets here.

Check post
Dornala, about 625 km out, has the forest check post where the ghat road to Srisailam begins, about 49 km of curves. Vehicles are held here after 9 pm, and stopping on the forest road is not allowed, so the coach makes its last tea stop here. Twenty minutes and a count of heads. A full size bus climbs slowly behind pilgrim traffic, so expect the ghat to take a good while, longer on festival days.

Bus parking and stay
The coach reaches Srisailam on day two, after about 17 hours of driving in all. The driver parks at the bus parking and the group walks to the hotel or choultry. Ask the hotel for darshan timings for a group of fifty. Maha Shivaratri and Ugadi bring the biggest crowds and long jams on the highway. The forest road closes at 9 pm at both ends, so the return leaves early.

Srisailam is about 680 km from Mysore one way, so the coach covers about 1,360 km for the round trip. The route is the expressway past Mandya, the Bangalore ring roads, NH44 through Penukonda, Anantapur and Gooty to Kurnool, then NH340C through Atmakur and Dornala and up the Nallamala ghat. A full size bus needs about 17 hours of driving with stops, over two days.
The 49 seater: everyone sits, with a few seats spare. On this trip it is ₹86,000 for 1,500 km at ₹54/km, plus ₹5,000 driver bata. The full size list is on bus on rent in Mysore.
No, they are separate. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
Only late night driving carries a driver night allowance. It is shown in the quote. ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night is the bus rate.
Sure. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
No. We plan the bus to cross between Dornala and Srisailam in daylight. Check posts can hold traffic at night.
Yes. Buses run up the forest road every day, but it has many curves over about 49 km from Dornala, so the coach climbs slowly in low gear and never at night, since the check posts close at 9 pm. On the highway part, NH44 is four lanes and easy for a big bus. In heavy rain the driver keeps extra time for the ghat.
Yes. The night at Kurnool keeps both days reasonable, and the coach stops every two hours. Seat elders and anyone prone to motion sickness in the front rows for the ghat, and keep medicines and water in the cabin, since the forest road has no shops. Children should have a light breakfast at Atmakur before the climb.
