Pickup at your door
At 6 am the cab is at your gate, at the station or at Mandakalli airport. Vijayawada is about 785 km away, two days with a night at Tirupati, about 395 km from here. The usual choke on the way out is the ring road junction near Manipal Hospital, where the expressway begins; at six it is still clear. Pack one small bag for the Tirupati night so the boot stays closed. Breakfast is at Maddur, a little over an hour away.

Breakfast
Breakfast for the cab is at Maddur, 65 km out, where the vada stalls on the old road fry the crisp Maddur vada all morning. If the family is curious, the town's Varadaraja idol stands roughly 12 ft high and is carved front and back. Tender coconut is everywhere here, since Maddur trades it to other states. Fifteen minutes, and the car rejoins the expressway for the city crossing. Coffee comes quickly.

Bypass to Old Madras Road
The cab goes round Bangalore, about 145 km from Mysore, not through it. NICE Road links Mysore Road with the Hosur Road side, and a newly opened ring road interchange connects that corridor with Hoskote, where Old Madras Road, the NH75 east, runs on to Kolar. The Chennai expressway also starts at Hoskote, but the Tirupati road stays on NH75. Use the fuel station restroom on the ring road if needed. Tirupati is about 250 km beyond.

Tea
Kolar, about 215 km out, is known as the gateway to Tirumala on NH75, and the cab passes it on the bypass. Kotilingeshwara, with its lakhs of small lingas, is in the same district near KGF, another day's trip. Ten minutes for tea at the bypass is enough; the main town needs a detour. Mulbagal and the Andhra border follow, and Chittoor, the lunch stop, is about 95 km on.

Lunch
Chittoor, about 310 km from Mysore, sits where NH69 from Kolar meets NH40, and the cab stops for lunch at a highway hotel. At Sankranti the Kanuma festival parades decorated bulls through the streets, a colourful sight in January. The Kanipakam Vinayaka temple is about 12 km away if the family wants an extra darshan. Half an hour for lunch; Tirupati, tonight's halt, is about 85 km on. Keep the lunch light; the afternoon run is short.

Night halt
The cab enters Tirupati from the Chandragiri side, about 395 km from Mysore, and the night is here. If the family plans darshan at Tirumala, check the TTD timings at the hotel; non vegetarian food, liquor and tobacco are banned on the hill. Buy the Tirupati laddu, the GI tagged prasadam made only by TTD, to carry home. Sleep early; day two is about 390 km along the coast to Vijayawada.

Temple and breakfast
Srikalahasti, about 38 km north of Tirupati and 435 km from Mysore, has the temple where Shiva is worshipped as Vayu, the air element, one of the Pancha Bhoota sthalams. The main gopuram that collapsed in 2010 has been rebuilt in its original form. The cab can stop for a 45 minute darshan and breakfast. From here the road runs on to Nellore and NH16, the coastal highway north. Kalamkari cloth is sold near the temple.

Tea
Nellore, about 530 km out, stands on the Penna river, and NH16 bypasses the city. The local sweet is malai kaja, made from maida, milk and sugar, a good box to carry. The cab stops fifteen minutes for tea on the bypass. From here NH16, part of the Golden Quadrilateral, runs north along the coast to Ongole and Vijayawada, a wide and fast road. Ongole is about 120 km ahead, the lunch stop, and the coastal plain gets warmer as the day goes on.

Lunch
Ongole, about 650 km from Mysore, is the Prakasam district headquarters and gives its name to the famous Ongole breed of cattle. The town lies on the coastal plain at about 10 m, so summers are hot and humid. The cab leaves NH16 at the bypass for lunch at a highway hotel, half an hour. Vijayawada is about 135 km ahead. The car parks off the highway, and lunch is a quick Andhra thali with rice and pappu.

Tea
Chilakaluripet, about 720 km out, sits on NH16, with Guntur about 40 km and Narasaraopet about 21 km away. Kotappakonda, the three peaked hill of Trikoteswara Swamy, is about 17 to 20 km off, a pilgrimage spot of its own. The cab halts ten minutes for a cup of tea. The town lies on the Golden Quadrilateral, so the last 65 km into Vijayawada go quickly. Kotappakonda is very crowded on Maha Shivaratri.

Hotel drop
On the afternoon of day two, roughly 16.5 to 17 hours of total driving behind you, the cab enters Vijayawada and drops you at your hotel. Andhra meals here come with gongura pickle, made from sorrel leaves, the taste of this region. For shopping, Kondapalli toys, the GI tagged wooden toys of Kondapalli near the city, and the mangoes of the Nunna market in season are the buys. Rest today and see the city tomorrow.
Booking a Mysore to Vijayawada cab for a small family for the Kanaka Durga temple and the Krishna river? Vijayawada (Bezawada) is roughly 785 km away, via Bangalore, Tirupati and Nellore.

Vijayawada is about 785 km from Mysore one way, so the round trip is about 1,570 km. The cab takes the expressway to Maddur, the Bangalore bypass to Old Madras Road, NH75 via Kolar to Chittoor and Tirupati, then Srikalahasti, Nellore, Ongole and NH16 north. Plan on about 16.5 to 17 hours of driving with stops, over two days with a night at Tirupati.
An Innova Crysta. The full car list is on cab rental in Mysore. Six people and their bags fit.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. It is shown in the quote. For the cab: ₹400 a night.
Yes. The driver waits wherever you stop; local km are charged at the same rate.
Sure. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
No. On every cab trip, tolls, parking and GST are extra. Plus the Andhra Pradesh entry permit for the car.
Yes. Ongole sits at about 10 m on the coastal plain, and from April to June the NH16 stretch is hot and humid. The cab starts early on day two from Tirupati so most of the coastal run is done before the afternoon peak. Carry water and light cotton clothes. October to February is the most comfortable time.
A sedan takes two medium suitcases and two small bags; for four adults on a week long trip, an Innova is easier. Keep one small bag with clothes for the Tirupati night and darshan, so the main bags stay packed. Leave space if you plan to buy Kondapalli toys or mangoes.
