Pickup at your door
At 5 am the driver is at your gate, or wherever you are staying in Mysuru, a palace area hotel, the station or Mandakalli airport. Today is the long one, about 790 km to the night halt at Vijayawada, so an early start counts for more than anything else. The car heads out on the expressway; the usual choke point is where it meets the ring road by Manipal Hospital, at Kempegowda Circle, and at that hour it is clear. Keep one small bag for the Vijayawada night. Ramanagara, about 95 km away, is the tea and fuel stop.

Tea and fuel
About 95 km out, the cab takes the Ramanagara exit for tea, a restroom and a full tank, because the expressway goes round the town. The rocky granite hills here are the Sholay hills, where the 1975 film was shot. Ramanagara is called Silk Town too; its cocoon market is one of the largest in Asia, and lorries of cocoons arrive for the auction early in the morning. Ten minutes is enough for a car. After this the cab goes round the city by NICE Road and the ring road link to Hoskote.

Breakfast
Breakfast comes late today, at Kolar, about 215 km from Mysore, after the city is behind you. The highway skirts the main town, so the driver chooses a hotel on the bypass where idli and coffee arrive fast. For a darshan, the goddess temple of Kolaramma, first raised under the Talakadu Ganga kings and enlarged in Chola times, is a small detour into town; half an hour does it. Beyond Kolar comes Mulbagal, the final Karnataka town, and then the Andhra border. Vijayawada is still about 575 km off.

Tea
Chittoor comes up about 310 km out, where NH69 from Kolar meets NH40. For the cab it is a ten minute tea halt at the highway junction, nothing more. Kanipakam, home of the Varasidhi Vinayaka temple, lies some 12 km off; many families stop there on the way home rather than today, since the first day is long. This is mango country, and the district has many mango pulp units, so in season the fruit stalls by the road are worth a look. Tirupati and lunch are about 85 km ahead.

Lunch
Lunch is at Tirupati, about 395 km from Mysore, coming in by the Chandragiri entry. Andhra meals are served quickly in the hotels by the bypass, and the driver eats at the same time. In the middle of the town stands the Govindaraja Swamy temple, consecrated around 1130 CE, if someone wants a short darshan; Tirumala up the hill needs a day of its own, so save it for another trip. Thirty minutes, then the road bends towards Nellore and the coast. The night halt at Vijayawada is about 395 km further.

Tea
Nellore stands on the Penna river, about 525 km from Mysore, and NH16 goes round the city, so the tea halt is quick. If you are hungry, the dish of the district is chepala pulusu, the Nellore fish curry made with murrel; vegetarians get Andhra meals at the same counters. For the car, a box of malai kaja, the local sweet of maida, milk and sugar, travels well. From here the coastal highway runs north to Ongole and Vijayawada. The light starts to fade near Ongole, so the driver takes regular short breaks.

Snacks and fuel
Ongole, the Prakasam district headquarters, is about 645 km out, and the car stops at a highway hotel near the bypass for snacks and a top up. The town gives its name to Ongole cattle, an old native breed of oxen known well beyond Andhra. The coastal plain here sits at about 10 m, so evenings stay warm and humid; keep the AC on and water handy. Kothapatnam beach and the Valluramma temple near Valluru are off the road, better kept for another trip. Vijayawada is about 145 km on, the last stretch of a long day.

Night halt
The car reaches Vijayawada late in the evening, after about 790 km, and the night is spent here. Choose a hotel near the highway so the morning start is easy; the driver needs a full night of sleep before the coast. Dinner is Andhra meals with gongura pickle. If you are up early, the Kanaka Durga temple on Indrakeeladri hill above the Krishna is a short drive from most hotels. In Dasara the temple draws very large crowds, so check the dates before you plan a darshan. Day two is about 350 km to Visakhapatnam.

Breakfast
Day two starts early from Vijayawada, and breakfast is at Eluru, about 60 km on and 850 km from Mysore. The Tammileru river runs through the town into Kolleru Lake, a Ramsar wetland about 15 km away and the largest shallow freshwater lake in Asia. In winter it fills with birds, worth a detour by car on the way home if the family enjoys that; keep two hours for it. Eluru is also known for its pile carpets, sold in shops in the town. Twenty minutes for breakfast, then on towards the Godavari.

Lunch
Rajahmundry, also called Rajamahendravaram, is about 945 km out, and lunch is by the Godavari. Coming in, the car crosses the wide river with the Godavari Arch Bridge and the old Havelock bridge in view, a good moment for a photo from the window. The city is the headquarters of East Godavari district, and it is linked to Nannayya, the first poet of the Telugu language. Thirty minutes covers a meal at a highway hotel; the driver tops up the tank at the same time. Annavaram is about 100 km ahead, then Visakhapatnam.

Hill temple
Annavaram lies right on NH16, about 1,045 km from Mysore, and the Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swamy temple stands on Ratnagiri hill above the town. A car can be up and back quickly, so a darshan of 45 minutes fits on a quiet day. The main ritual here is the collective Satyanarayana Vratam, which needs about an hour and a half more, so families who want it usually plan it for the return. In Karthika month the crowds are at their biggest. From here Visakhapatnam is about 95 km, roughly two hours.

Hotel drop
Vizag, as most people call Visakhapatnam, is the biggest city in Andhra Pradesh, with the Eastern Ghats rising behind it and the sea along its edge. The cab gets there on the afternoon of day two, about 24 to 24.5 hours of driving after Mysore, and leaves you at your hotel or wherever you are staying in the city. Seafood and Andhra meals are everywhere, and simple vegetarian food is easy too. If local days are booked, the driver stays near your hotel with the car. Send him the address a day early so he plans the way in.

Visakhapatnam (Vizag) is about 1,140 km from Mysore one way, so about 2,280 km there and back. The cab takes the expressway, goes round Bangalore to NH75 through Kolar and Chittoor, reaches Tirupati and Nellore, and then follows NH16 up the coast by Ongole, Vijayawada and Rajahmundry. Plan on about 24 to 24.5 hours of driving with stops, over two days with a night at Vijayawada.

The Innova Crysta. Every size is listed on cab rental in Mysore.
The cooler months are the easiest. From Nellore north the highway runs over the coastal plain, only about 10 m above the sea at Ongole, and summers there are hot and humid, which makes a long day in the car tiring. In the hot months we start even earlier, stop more often for water and keep the AC running. NH16 is part of the Golden Quadrilateral, so the road itself is good in every season.
For four people staying a week, two medium suitcases and a couple of soft bags fit in a sedan boot; with more cases, ask for the Innova when you book. Put the things for the Vijayawada night in one small bag on the back seat, so the boot opens only once on the way. Leave a little room for gifts and sweets bought on the drive home.
