Pickup at your door
Wherever you stay in Mysuru, the cab is at the gate by 5 am; the station, the bus stand and Mandakalli airport work too. If you want to carry Mysore betel leaves or Mysore mallige, the jasmine named after the city, for the temple, buy them the evening before and wrap them damp. The road leaves by the expressway towards Mandya. Tonight's halt is Kurnool, about 505 km away, and Srisailam comes the next morning, well before the forest gates close.
Tea
Mandya comes up 45 km from Mysore, too soon for breakfast on a 5 am start, but fine for a quick tea. This is sugarcane country; roadside stalls press fresh juice later in the day, and the jaggery made in small units here is the buy to bring home on the way back. The expressway runs past the city, so the cab uses the service road for the tea stall. Ten minutes, then on towards Bangalore, about 105 km ahead.
Breakfast north of the city
From the Kaniminike toll near the city edge, the cab leaves the expressway and swings round Bangalore on NICE Road and the north side roads to Bellary Road. Past Yelahanka the highway runs as the Devanahalli to KIA expressway, part of NH44, and skips the old town. Breakfast is at a highway hotel north of the city, about 150 km from Mysore, twenty minutes at most. Kurnool is still about 355 km on, all highway from here.
Tea
Chikkaballapur, the district town about 210 km from Mysore, is a ten minute tea halt for the cab. Muddenahalli, birthplace of Sir M. Visvesvaraya, the engineer behind the KRS dam near Mysore, is just outside the town. The road here is the wide NH44, with fuel stations and highway hotels at short gaps. Top up the tank before the border if the driver wants; the next big town, Penukonda, is about 75 km on.
Short halt
Penukonda, about 285 km out, has a long Jain past: the historic Ajitnath temple and the Pache Parsvanath Swamy temple, whose idol is carved from one green stone, both stand in the old town. A cab can turn in for a quick darshan if the family wishes, a few minutes off the highway each way. Pilgrims bound for a Jyotirlinga often like to add a second temple on the road. Otherwise drive on to Anantapur, about 70 km ahead, where lunch is planned.
Lunch
Lunch is at Anantapur, about 355 km from Mysore. The Rayalaseema kitchen is fiery; uggani with mirchi bajji makes a light meal, and anyone who wants a plain thali should ask for less chilli. The city landmarks, the ISKCON temple, the Clock Tower and Sapthagiri Circle, are about two km off the highway. Half an hour here. Gooty is about 50 km on, and Kurnool, tonight's halt, about 150 km.
Tea
Gooty, about 405 km out, lies at about 345 m under a fort that rises to about 680 m on a group of hills. The fort is a centrally protected monument, and you see it from the highway long before the town. The cab stops ten minutes for tea, past the busy junction where the Bellary road meets NH44. For Srisailam pilgrims this is the last tea of day one; Kurnool, the night halt, is about 100 km ahead, under two hours.
Night halt
Kurnool, about 505 km from Mysore, is the night halt. Stay near the bypass on the Srisailam side, because tomorrow the cab takes NH340C, the road to Dornala and Srisailam that starts here. The city sits on the Tungabhadra and was once the capital of Andhra State. Eat dinner early and sleep early. The forest road ahead is open by day and closes to traffic at 9 pm, so the plan is to leave Kurnool soon after dawn.
Breakfast
Atmakur, about 67 km from Kurnool and 570 km from Mysore, is a revenue division town and the breakfast stop on day two. The cab halts twenty minutes at a hotel on the main road. Sangameshwaram, a temple at the meeting of rivers, is about 30 km away, a visit for another trip. Past Atmakur the road climbs into the Nallamala forest towards Dornala, so use the restroom here; the next proper break is at the check post.
Forest gate
Dornala, about 625 km from Mysore, is where the forest ghat road to Srisailam begins, about 49 km of curves through the Nallamala. The forest department stops vehicles at the Dornala check post after 9 pm, because of wild animals and the bends, so arrive in daylight. Stopping on the forest road itself is not allowed; halts happen only at check posts. Ten minutes here for tea and water, then the climb.
Hotel drop
The cab reaches Srisailam on the second morning, after about 14 to 14.5 hours of driving in all. The town sits deep in the Nallamala, about 180 km from Kurnool and about 231 km from Hyderabad. Check in, rest, and plan darshan timings with the hotel. Maha Shivaratri and Ugadi bring the heaviest crowds and long jams on the highway, so avoid those dates if you can. Remember that the forest roads close at 9 pm at both ends.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Srisailam is about 680 km from Mysore one way, so the round trip is about 1,360 km. The cab takes the expressway past Mandya, goes round Bangalore, follows NH44 through Penukonda, Anantapur and Gooty to Kurnool, then NH340C through Atmakur and Dornala up the Nallamala ghat. Plan on about 14 to 14.5 hours of driving with stops, with a night at Kurnool.
They are extra. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
A night allowance for the driver applies only if the drive runs late into the night. You see it in the quote first. For the cab: ₹400 a night.
Six people bound for Srisailam fit an Innova Crysta with bags. For this trip it is ₹30,000 for 1,500 km at ₹20/km, with ₹2,000 allowance for the driver. The full car list is on cab rental in Mysore.
Leave around 4:00 am so the Srisailam forest and ghat stretches pass in daylight. Since a car is faster than a bus or van, a late riser is not a problem.
Yes. Ask for a Mysore to Srisailam one way cab quote with your date; you get km and fare in writing.
Yes, from March to May. The Anantapur plateau is the driest part of Andhra Pradesh, and Kurnool sits low on the Tungabhadra. The cab leaves at 5 am, lunches at Anantapur and reaches Kurnool by late afternoon, so the hottest hours are spent with the AC on. The Nallamala forest stretch on day two is shadier and cooler in the morning.
A sedan takes two medium suitcases and two small bags. Four adults with puja items and a change of clothes for the holy dip fit easily in an Innova or Ertiga, with the last row folded for bags. Keep water and snacks in the cabin, because the forest road has no shops and stopping is allowed only at check posts.
