Group pickup
The tempo traveller leaves Mysuru at 5 am from one meeting point, a house with a broad gate or the station front. For pilgrims from north India, note that people here speak mostly Kannada and fewer understand Hindi away from the tourist spots, so let the driver do the asking on the road. All big bags go in the rear. The night is at Kurnool, about 505 km away, and Srisailam is reached the next morning, through the Nallamala forest.
Tea
Mandya, 45 km out, is the district town of the Kaveri sugar belt and the first tea halt for the tempo traveller. The local farm meal pairs ragi balls with a fiery country chicken curry, though at this hour the stalls only serve tea and snacks. The city has its railway station right in the centre and buses to Bangalore and Mysore every few minutes. Fifteen minutes, then back onto the expressway.
Breakfast on the edge
About 150 km from Mysore, the expressway comes down at Kengeri, and the tempo traveller uses the signal free corridor from Mysore Road to Magadi Road and the ring roads to reach Bellary Road. Breakfast is at a highway hotel on NH44 beyond Yelahanka, where a van can park. Half an hour for a group of 12 to 17. From here it is NH44 all the way to Kurnool, about 355 km on.
Tea
The five hills around Chikkaballapur give it the name Panchagiri, and the old Bhoga Nandeeshwara temple, a Shiva shrine of the 9th and 10th centuries, stands at Nandi village close by. Devotees on their way to Mallikarjuna sometimes stop there on the return. The tempo traveller halts for fifteen minutes about 210 km from Mysore, a break for tea after the city crossing. Ahead the highway crosses into Andhra Pradesh, and the land turns dry and stony.
Lunch
Lunch for the tempo traveller is at Penukonda, about 285 km from Mysore, at a dhaba near the bypass. The town's fort gate, the Yerramanchi gate, has an 11 ft Hanuman, and near the fort lies a huge carving of Kumbhakarna asleep while demons try to wake him, which children love. Forty five minutes covers lunch and a short look if everyone eats fast. Then the straight run to Anantapur, and Kurnool in the late afternoon.
Tea
Groundnut, sunflower and cotton fill the fields around Anantapur, about 355 km from Mysore, and roasted groundnut is the snack to buy for the van. If the group wants a proper Rayalaseema meal on the return, ragi sangati with country chicken curry is the dish. Tadipatri, with its Vijayanagara temples, lies about 50 km from Gooty, a separate detour. The tempo traveller keeps this to a fifteen minute tea stop on the bypass, then heads for Gooty and the night at Kurnool.
Tea
High above Gooty, a small pavilion called Murari Rao's seat stands on a 300 m cliff, named after the Maratha general who held the fort until Hyder Ali took it in 1775. The tempo traveller reaches the town about 405 km from Mysore and stops for tea at a stall past the junction, where lorries for Bellary turn off. Fifteen minutes is enough. The night is at Kurnool, roughly two hours on, so the group can relax for the evening.
Night halt
Kurnool, about 505 km from Mysore, is the fifth most populous city of Andhra Pradesh, so group hotels are easy to find. Book one with parking for the van, on the Srisailam side if possible. Konda Reddy fort stands in the north east of the city, a short evening walk for those who are not tired. Morning tea can be early and breakfast taken at Atmakur on the way, which saves time before the forest. Srisailam is about 175 km on.
Breakfast
On the second morning the tempo traveller reaches Atmakur, about 570 km from Mysore and 67 km from Kurnool. It is a municipality and revenue division headquarters with simple hotels on the main road, good for idli and tea. Twenty minutes is enough for breakfast. After Atmakur the road starts climbing into the Nallamala forest towards Dornala, where the ghat road to Srisailam begins. Anyone who feels sick on bends should eat lightly here and take a front seat.
Forest check post
At Dornala, about 625 km from Mysore, the forest check post marks the start of the ghat road to Srisailam. Vehicles are not allowed past it after 9 pm, and on the forest road no one may stop except at check posts, so this is the last tea and restroom break. On Maha Shivaratri the road has been kept open at night for a set window, with heavy traffic. Fifteen minutes here, then about 55 km of bends through the forest.
Hotel drop
The tempo traveller climbs into Srisailam before noon on day two, about 14 to 14.5 hours of driving after leaving Mysore. The van stops at the hotel or the choultry where the group is booked, and the driver stays nearby for the stay. Plan darshan timings with the hotel desk. Maha Shivaratri and Ugadi bring very large crowds and long jams on the highway, so book rooms early on those dates. The forest gates at Dornala and Mannanur close at 9 pm, so plan the return drive in daylight.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

It is about 680 km from Mysore to Srisailam one way, about 1,360 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller goes up the expressway past Mandya, round Bangalore, along NH44 through Penukonda, Anantapur and Gooty to Kurnool, then through Atmakur and Dornala up the Nallamala ghat. It takes about 14 to 14.5 hours of driving with stops, over two days.
Yes, by steps or the ropeway. Elders should take the ropeway; the tempo traveller waits in the town.
Srisailam: the 16 seater, with spare seats for suitcases. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore. For this trip it is ₹48,000 for 1,500 km at ₹32/km, plus ₹3,000 driver allowance.
Yes. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
No. Srisailam is out of state, so the Andhra permit is extra. Tolls, parking and GST are extra at cost.
If the return runs late at night, the driver gets a night allowance. It is shown in the quote. Per night it is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Yes, with care. The forest road from Dornala climbs through the Nallamala with many bends, and in heavy rain the driver keeps the pace low and stays in daylight. The highway part on NH44 is a four lane road that drains well. Vehicles may stop only at check posts on the forest stretch, so take breaks at Atmakur and Dornala.
The last 49 km from Dornala are curvy, so anyone prone to motion sickness should sit in the front rows, eat lightly at Atmakur and keep a window open. The tempo traveller stops at the Dornala check post before the climb. Elders should carry their medicines in a cabin bag, because the forest road has no shops.
