Pickup in Mysuru
Seniors and family board the Urbania at 5:30 from home, a hotel or the railway station. On the return day, elders who like old palaces can visit Jaganmohan or Lalitha Mahal in the city. The Urbania skirts the city on NH275, crosses the Kaveri and peels off near Pandavapura onto the KR Pet road. Unchalli is about nine hours away, and the reclining seats make the long day easier. Big bags go at the back.
Breakfast
Elders have breakfast at KR Pet after 55 km, with twenty five minutes so nobody rushes. Old Hoysala shrines are scattered through the villages of this taluk. At Thenginaghatta, a modest one bears an inscription of 1133 that names its sculptor, Bammoja of Kikkeri, a detail temple lovers enjoy. The driver keeps the Urbania's AC running for anyone who would rather sit inside. From here the road goes on by Channarayapatna to Arsikere, about 100 km.
Tea
Arsikere, 155 km out, is a coconut country town, and the Urbania stops fifteen minutes so elders can have tea and use the restroom. The town sits at roughly 806 to 812 m, so the air is mild even at mid morning. History lovers might like to know that Haranahalli, about 8 km to the south, still shows the ruins of an old fort. Tender coconut is the gentlest drink for a long day. From here NH69 runs on towards Shivamogga, about 95 km.
Lunch
The group lunches in Shivamogga, Shimoga on older maps, after 250 km. This city on the Tunga is where the Malnad hill country begins. Elders have forty minutes to eat and stretch. Should anyone need to fly home later in the trip, Shivamogga airport lies about 13 km south of the city. From lunch onwards the road to Sagar, about 75 km, and then to the falls, about 140 km, grows greener and a little slower.
Tea
Sagar, 325 km from Mysore, is the Urbania's afternoon tea halt, beside the Varada river. Elders who follow the saint Sridhara Swami may wish to visit his samadhi at Varadahalli, about 6 km out on the Jog road, on another day. Craftsmen of the Gudigar families here carve sandalwood, and small pieces make light gifts for the family at home. Fifteen minutes is planned, then 30 km to Siddapur, where the forest begins in earnest.
Tea
Siddapur, 355 km out, is the last tea halt before the falls. The little town lives off its gardens of areca, cardamom and pepper, and the areca of this region, sold as Sirsi supari, carries a GI tag. Elders should use the restroom here. The final 35 km through Heggarne run on a narrow forest road, and the driver takes the bends slowly so nobody feels unwell. The Urbania reaches the parking at the head of the path soon after.
Parking and path
About nine hours after Mysore the Urbania reaches the parking at the head of the Unchalli path, and the easy step helps elders down. A path of steps leads through forest to the viewpoint, and the climb back up is the hard part, so elders should rest at the top if they prefer. Carry water. In the monsoon, June to September, everything is wet. Sirsi, about 30 km away, is the base for the night.
Is a Mysore to Unchalli Falls Force Urbania right for a family with seniors who still want the waterfalls? The long drive is much easier in its reclining seats. The Unchalli Urbania collects you from home, a hotel or the railway station in Mysuru. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.

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.

The road distance is about 390 km each way, about 780 km for the round trip. The Urbania runs via KR Pet, Arsikere and Shivamogga (Shimoga) to Sagar and Siddapur. Allow about 9 hours with the halts, and plan a night at Sirsi.
The 10 seater, or 13 for room. All sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
A late night return adds the driver night allowance. It is shown in the quote. Per night it is ₹700.
Jog Falls; the main viewpoint is near the parking. Unchalli needs a steep walk.
They are billed on top. Tolls, parking and GST follow at actual. At ₹40/km, 3 days, 900 km come to ₹38,100; our driver gets ₹2,100.
Yes, Unchalli Falls one way when you ask. A drop-only trip is priced ₹2 a km above the return rate.
They stay open, but the Devimane, Vaddi and Doddamane ghats around Sirsi can be slippery from June to September, and the driver goes slowly. With elders, we plan the last stretch in daylight. October to March is the easier season for this trip.
We advise against it with elders. The return is about nine hours, and the forest roads near Siddapur are best in daylight. A night at Sirsi or Shivamogga and a morning start is safer and more comfortable. Tell us the plan and we will set the halts.
