Group pickup
The mini bus leaves at 5 am from one agreed point in Mysuru, a roomy roadside spot near a hotel or the station. Two pickups at most, or the first hour is lost. In September or October, Dasara crowds and traffic diversions slow every exit, so check the Mysore traffic advisory the evening before. Bags go into the rear and racks. Tonight's halt is Kurnool, about 505 km away; Srisailam follows the next morning.

Tea
For the mini bus, Mandya, 45 km out, is the first tea halt of a long two day drive. The Mysore Sugar Company factory here, set up in 1933, was the first sugar factory of the state, and Thirumala Sagar lake is about 6 km from the city. Neither fits today. Fifteen minutes on the service road for tea and the restroom, then back on the expressway. If anyone wants fresh sugarcane juice, save it for the return in the afternoon.

Breakfast outside
A group of about 20 is best kept to one or two pickup points, and if anyone joins in Bangalore, about 150 km from Mysore, the bus meets them on its bypass route, not in the city. The driver uses NICE Road to Tumkur Road and the ring road via Doddaballapur to NH44. Breakfast is at a highway hotel with parking north of the city, thirty minutes for the group. Kurnool is about 355 km on.

Tea
Three roads, NH44, NH69 and State Highway 74, pass through Chikkaballapur, about 210 km from Mysore, so the highway hotels here are used to tourist buses. The town's name joins chikka, small, and balla, an old grain measure. The mini bus stops twenty minutes for tea, and those who skipped breakfast can eat a plate of idli. The Andhra Pradesh border is not far ahead, and lunch is planned at Penukonda, about 75 km on.

Lunch
After Krishna Deva Raya's time, Penukonda became a key Vijayanagara stronghold, and its walls still line the road about 285 km from Mysore. Puttaparthi is about 36 km away, a visit for another day. The mini bus stops for lunch at a highway dhaba that can seat a full group at once; forty five minutes covers food and rest. Ring ahead with the numbers from Chikkaballapur, so the rice is ready. Anantapur is about 70 km ahead.

Tea
Only about 508 mm of rain falls on Anantapur district in a normal year, the least in Andhra Pradesh, and the bus feels the dry heat by midday. The mini bus stops about 355 km from Mysore for tea and water refills for everyone. Dharmavaram, south west of the city, weaves the GI tagged silk sarees, a buy for another trip. From Anantapur the old NH 205 road runs east towards Renigunta. Twenty minutes, then on to Gooty.

Tea
Over Gooty, about 405 km from Mysore, a fort stretches across a group of hills, a centrally protected monument that is a fine sight from the highway. The highway west to Guntakal and Bellary starts here, so trucks crowd the crossing. The mini bus pulls into a roadside hotel beyond it for twenty minutes of tea. Kurnool, where the group spends the night, is a little under two hours away, so this is the last break of day one.

Night halt
Kurnool is called the gateway of Rayalaseema, and for this group it is the night halt, about 505 km from Mysore. Book one hotel with space for the bus near NH340C, the road to Srisailam. Kurnool district is known for diamond hunting in the fields after the first monsoon rains, a local talking point. Order dinner early, and breakfast of uggani and mirchi bajji at dawn. About 175 km remains, through Atmakur and Dornala.

Tea
Atmakur, about 67 km from Kurnool and 570 km from Mysore, is a revenue division town on the Srisailam road and a tea halt for the mini bus. Twenty minutes for tea and the restroom, because the forest road ahead allows stops only at check posts. Past Atmakur the road climbs gradually into the Nallamala hills, the air gets cooler and the traffic thins. Seat anyone who feels sick on bends near the front before the bus moves.

Check post
At Dornala, about 625 km out, the forest department runs the check post at the foot of the ghat, and Srisailam is about 49 km on through the Nallamala. No vehicle is allowed past after 9 pm, and stopping on the forest road is not allowed, so this is the last break before the temple town. The mini bus halts fifteen minutes for tea, then climbs in low gear. Expect slow going behind pilgrim buses on festival days.

Hotel drop
The mini bus reaches Srisailam around midday on day two, after about 15 hours of driving in all. The driver drops the group at one hotel or choultry and parks for the stay. Plan darshan with the hotel desk. Avoid Maha Shivaratri and Ugadi unless the group wants the festival, because the crowds and highway jams are very heavy then. Both forest roads, from Dornala and from Mannanur, close at 9 pm.

At Kurnool. Next morning it is roughly 175 km to Srisailam through Atmakur and Dornala.
It can on the first morning. From about mid November to mid February, fog sits on the north side of Bangalore around Devanahalli in the early hours. The mini bus reaches that stretch after breakfast, when the fog has usually lifted; if not, the driver slows down until it clears. The Andhra highway and the forest road are rarely foggy.
No. The forest department closes the road at the Dornala check post at 9 pm because of wild animals and the curves, and opens it in the morning. That is why the mini bus stays at Kurnool and crosses the forest the next morning. Only on Maha Shivaratri has night travel been allowed for a set window.
