Srisailam Dam
The Urbania pulls over here. Gates open only in heavy flood years. The driver stays close with the Urbania.

The Urbania parks a few steps from the entrance. Small temple on the way in; pilgrims stop here first. The AC van is there for elders while the others walk around.

Pickup at your door
The Urbania picks the group up at 5 am, from the gate rather than any basement, since the van is tall. Sandalwood incense from the Government Sandalwood Oil Factory in Ashokapuram makes a good offering for Mallikarjuna; buy it a day ahead, as shops are shut at dawn. The expressway towards Mandya is the way out. The group sleeps at Kurnool, about 505 km away, and reaches Srisailam the next morning.
Tea
Mandya, 45 km from Mysore, is the jaggery capital of the state, with the small units called alemanes scattered through the cane fields. The Urbania pauses a quarter hour for chai on the service road. Highway blockades by farmers over cane prices and Kaveri water have happened here on bandh days, so the driver checks the news the night before a long trip like this one. A block of jaggery makes a good offering or gift. Bangalore is about 105 km on.
Bypass
The Urbania goes round Bangalore, about 150 km from Mysore, on NICE Road and the north side links to NH44. On the airport road, the Sadahalli toll is Karnataka's busiest, and the Sadahalli junction signal is the only signal between Hebbal and the airport, a known slow spot. The driver times the run to beat the morning peak. Breakfast follows just past the city, at a highway hotel near Devanahalli.
Breakfast
Chikkaballapur, about 210 km from Mysore, is a late breakfast stop for the Urbania after the city crossing. The district grows Bangalore Blue grapes in the Nandi valley, and Sidlaghatta nearby is a raw silk town. The Isha Yoga Centre with the Adiyogi statue is also close, an idea for another weekend. Twenty five minutes at a roadside eatery where the van can pull in, then the road heads for the Andhra border and the long dry run to Kurnool.
Tea
Penukonda, about 285 km out and about 70 km short of Anantapur, has the Gagan Mahal palace, built in 1575 as a summer retreat, and the Babayya Dargah of a 12th century Sufi saint, honoured by Hindus and Muslims alike. The Urbania stops fifteen minutes for tea near the bypass, where the van can turn easily. Lunch is at Anantapur, so keep the snacks light. The big Kumbhakarna carving near the fort is a quick photo if children are restless.
Lunch
Anantapur, about 355 km from Mysore, is lunch for the Urbania group. Jowar, bajra and ragi are the local grains, and the food is hot with chilli, so ask for milder dishes for those who need them. Puttaparthi is about 84 km away, a different trip. Forty minutes for lunch, with water refills, because the afternoon is hot and dry here. The van then runs on to Gooty and Kurnool, where the group rests before the forest road to Srisailam.
Tea
Gooty lies 52 km beyond Anantapur, about 405 km from Mysore. The Belum caves, around 70 km from here, and the Tadipatri temples, some 52 km away, suit a longer holiday in this region. Today the Urbania takes a fifteen minute tea break under the fort hills, where the walls run along the ridge above the town. After another hundred km or so the group reaches Kurnool, with time for dinner and an early night.
Night halt
The Urbania group spends the night at Kurnool, about 505 km from Mysore. Choose a hotel with parking at the front, ideally towards the Srisailam road. The Jagannatha Gattu temple is a short evening visit, and Alampur, across the Tungabhadra on the Telangana side, has the Jogulamba temple for an early dawn darshan if the group wishes. Ask for breakfast packed if you leave before the kitchen opens. Srisailam is about 175 km on, through Atmakur and Dornala.
Breakfast
Atmakur, about 570 km from Mysore, is the breakfast stop on day two. Sangameshwaram is about 30 km from the town, and past Atmakur the road starts to climb into the Nallamala forest. The Urbania stops twenty minutes at a hotel on the main road; use the restroom here, because the forest road has no stops except at the check posts. The driver also checks fuel here. Dornala is about 55 km ahead, and the ghat begins there.
Check post
Dornala, about 625 km out, is the gate of the forest ghat to Srisailam, about 49 km of bends. The check post stops traffic after 9 pm because of wild animals and the curves, so the Urbania plans to pass it in the morning. Ten minutes for tea and water at the stalls near the check post. The van climbs slowly; on the way back the driver keeps to low gears on the descents. Keep cameras handy for the forest views from the windows.
Hotel drop
The Urbania reaches Srisailam on the second morning, after about 14 to 14.5 hours of driving in all. The town is about 180 km from Kurnool and about 231 km from Hyderabad, deep in the forest. The driver drops the group at the hotel or choultry and parks there. Ask the hotel for darshan timings. Shivaratri and Ugadi bring the biggest crowds, so book rooms early, and remember that both forest roads close at 9 pm.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

Srisailam is about 680 km from Mysore by road, about 1,360 km there and back. The Urbania takes the expressway past Mandya, the ring roads round Bangalore, NH44 via Penukonda, Anantapur and Gooty to Kurnool, then NH340C through Atmakur and the Dornala ghat. Allow about 14 to 14.5 hours of driving with stops, with a night at Kurnool.
Sure. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
Only late night driving carries a driver night allowance. You see it in the quote first. Rate card figure: ₹700 a night.
The 12 seater. Each size and rate is on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore. Srisailam: ₹60,000 for 1,500 km at ₹40/km, any size, with ₹3,500 allowance for the driver.
We plan breakfast at Bangalore, lunch at Anantapur, the night at Kurnool and breakfast at Atmakur. The Urbania parks at the door, so elders walk very little.
No. GST, tolls, parking and any state permit are added at actual cost over the ₹40/km fare.
Maha Shivaratri and Ugadi bring the heaviest crowds, with long jams on the highway and the forest road. On Shivaratri the forest road has been kept open at night for a set window, so traffic runs round the clock. If your dates fall then, book rooms early and expect slow progress from Dornala. Normal weekdays are far calmer.
Yes. The Urbania has a luggage area behind the last row, enough for one suitcase each for most groups. Keep a small bag with clothes, puja items and a towel for the holy dip in the cabin, so the big bags can stay packed at the hotel. Water and snacks also stay in the cabin, since the forest stretch has no shops.
