Group pickup
Wheels roll at 5:30 am from the group's agreed pickup. Akki rotti and uppittu are the usual breakfast in Mysore eateries, but none are open yet, so breakfast is planned at Maddur. Vijayawada lies about 785 km off; the van stops for the night at Tirupati, about 395 km away. Bags go into the back, and each family keeps a small overnight bag in the cabin. The van takes the ring road to reach the expressway.

Breakfast
Breakfast for the tempo traveller is at Maddur, 65 km from Mysore. Ask for the town's vada, which local stories trace to sellers at the railway station. The Hoysala period Narasimha temple, with a black stone Ugra Narasimha, is about a kilometre off the highway, and Kokkarebellur, the stork village, is about 12 km away for another trip. Twenty minutes, then the van heads for the city ring roads. Tender coconut is sold at the same stalls.

City bypass
The tempo traveller has to cross the Bangalore region, about 145 km from Mysore, to reach Old Madras Road. KR Puram, where that road meets the Outer Ring Road at the cable stayed bridge, is a slow point at peak hours, so the driver crosses mid morning or uses the ring roads to Hoskote. NH75 then runs east through Kolar and Mulbagal into Andhra Pradesh. Tirupati, tonight's halt, is about 250 km beyond.

Tea
Kolar, about 215 km out, has fuel, ATMs and hotels, and the van pauses at the bypass for a quarter hour of tea. The Someshwara temple in town dates from the Vijayanagara period, a short detour for those who want it. NH75 skirts the main town, so the van does not need to enter the narrow streets. Chittoor, the lunch stop, lies about 95 km ahead, past Mulbagal and the Andhra border.

Lunch
Lunch is at Chittoor, about 310 km from Mysore, at a highway hotel with space for the van. Near the town stands the Anjaneya temple of Aragonda, and the town's own festival is the Gangamma Jatara. The district is mango country, and pulp units line the roads. Forty five minutes for lunch. Kanipakam is about 12 km off for those who want Ganesha's darshan, and Tirupati is about 85 km on.

Night halt
Tirupati, about 395 km from Mysore, is the night halt. If anyone wants to walk up to Tirumala, the Alipiri footpath has about 3,550 steps over roughly 9 km, a three hour climb. Traditional dress is expected inside the temple. At Tirumala the Annaprasadam complex serves free meals. Book one hotel for the group with parking for the van. Day two is about 390 km to Vijayawada. Order dinner early.

Temple stop
Srikalahasti, about 435 km out, is known for the Rahu Ketu dosha pooja at its Shiva temple, and many travellers stop for it. The town is also a centre of Kalamkari, hand painted and block printed cotton cloth, a good buy. The tempo traveller stops thirty minutes for darshan or shopping. Nellore is about 95 km on. The main gopuram, which collapsed in 2010, has been rebuilt in its original form at the same place. Breakfast can be had near the temple.

Breakfast
Nellore, about 530 km from Mysore, was called Vikrama Simhapuri in medieval times, and the region is known for its rice; the name is linked to nellu, paddy. The district's known dish is chepala pulusu, a fish curry made with murrel, for those who eat fish at lunch. The tempo traveller stops twenty minutes for a late breakfast on the bypass. Ongole is about 120 km on. Malai kaja is the sweet to carry.

Lunch
Lunch on day two is at Ongole, about 650 km out. The coast lies close by, with Kothapatnam beach and the Valluru village temple of Valluramma both a short drive from town, for a longer trip. NH16 bypasses Ongole, so the van uses a highway hotel. Forty five minutes. The town sits at about 10 m on the coastal plain, and summers are hot and humid, so water bottles should be refilled. Vijayawada is about 135 km on.

Tea
Guntur is about 40 km and Narasaraopet about 21 km from Chilakaluripet, which the tempo traveller reaches about 720 km from Mysore. Kotappakonda, a hill shrine nearby, draws huge crowds on Maha Shivaratri, so traffic near the turn can be heavy then. A quarter hour for tea at a roadside hotel, and the group is ready for the last hour to Vijayawada, where city traffic starts well before the river.

Hotel drop
The tempo traveller rolls into Vijayawada on the afternoon of day two, about 16.5 to 17 hours of driving after leaving Mysore. The driver drops the group at the hotel. The Akkana Madanna caves at the foot of the Indrakeeladri hill and the Gandhi Hill memorial, with seven stupas and a planetarium, are short outings for the evening. Kondapalli fort lies on the hill range west of the city. Book the hotel in advance.

It is about 785 km from Mysore to Vijayawada one way, about 1,570 km there and back. The tempo traveller goes by Maddur and the Bangalore bypass to NH75, through Kolar and Chittoor to Tirupati for the night, then via Srikalahasti, Nellore and Ongole on NH16. It is about 16.5 to 17 hours of driving with stops, over two days.
Yes, quoted when you ask. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
Yes, paid at the border, billed at actuals.
The 16 seater; two seats stay free for bags. Each size and rate is on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
GST is extra, and so are tolls and parking. For Vijayawada you get every receipt. The Andhra Pradesh entry permit is charged separately.
A night allowance is charged only for late night driving. You see it in the quote first. The tempo traveller night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Dasara, the Navaratri festival, is the biggest time at the Kanaka Durga temple, with very large crowds and slow traffic in the city. Hotels fill early then. On the way, Tirupati is busiest during Brahmotsavam and Vaikunta Ekadasi, which matters for the night halt. Outside these dates the trip is much easier.
Yes. The night at Tirupati splits the drive into two days of about seven to 16.5 to 17 hours each, with stops every 16.5 to 17 hours. Seat elders in the front rows, carry their medicines in a cabin bag, and keep snacks and water handy, as the coastal stretch is hot.
