Pickup
Pickup is from your home in Gokulam or any part of Mysuru, a hotel by the palace or Mysore railway station, at 5 am. Elders get the seats just behind the driver, where the ride is steadiest. If you travel in September or October, Dasara brings crowds and traffic diversions on every exit, so we check the Mysore traffic advisory the evening before. The Urbania leaves on the expressway, and the first night at Nellore, about 525 km away, is reached by evening with long breaks. Medicines and snacks go in a front bag.

Tea and fuel
Ramanagara, about 95 km out, is a fifteen minute stop for tea, diesel and clean restrooms. Janapada Loka, the open air folk art museum with masks, puppets and village tools, is on the old road near the town; it is closed on Tuesdays, and a proper visit needs an hour, so most groups see it on a shorter trip. Elders can stay seated while the tank is filled. The Urbania then goes round the city on the ring roads to reach NH75 at Hoskote, ahead of the morning office rush.

Breakfast
Breakfast for the group is at Kolar, about 215 km from Mysore. NH75 bypasses the town, so the Urbania stops at a highway hotel near the bypass, where the door is a few steps from the van and elders do not walk far. Soft idli and coffee come quickly. Antara Gange, the rocky hill at the edge of Kolar where spring water pours from a carved stone bull, has caves and steep paths, so it suits younger travellers on another trip. Thirty minutes, then the road goes past Mulbagal into Andhra Pradesh.

Lunch
Chittoor, about 310 km from Mysore, is the lunch halt, at a hotel on the highway with the van parked by the door. The town sits on NH40, about 150 km from Chennai, so the junction is busy with trucks, and the driver picks a place away from the main crossing. In the days of the Gangamma Jatara, the big annual festival of the town, the centre is crowded, so lunch stays out on the highway. Forty minutes gives elders time to eat slowly. Tirupati is about 85 km on.

Tea
Tirupati is about 395 km out, and the Urbania stops for tea and a restroom halt on the Chandragiri side of the town. If elders want a Tirumala darshan, plan it as a separate day on another trip. Traditional dress is expected inside the temple, dhoti or shirt and trousers for men and saree or churidar with dupatta for women, and the Tarigonda Vengamamba Annaprasadam complex on the hill serves free meals to pilgrims. Today twenty minutes is enough. Nellore, the first night, is about 130 km ahead.

First night
The first night is at Nellore, about 525 km from Mysore, on the Penna river. We suggest a quiet hotel near the bypass with a lift or ground floor rooms for elders, and mild food on request. The region is famous for its rice; the very name Nellore is linked to nellu, paddy, so a simple rice and dal dinner is easy to get. Nellore is the fourth most populous city of Andhra Pradesh, but the bypass keeps you out of its traffic. Tomorrow is short, about 265 km to Vijayawada.

Breakfast
Breakfast is at Ongole, about 120 km after Nellore and 645 km from Mysore, at a hotel near the bypass with the Urbania parked close. Ongole is the Prakasam district headquarters, and the coastal plain around it sits only about 10 m above the sea, so summer mornings turn hot and humid quickly. Elders should keep water and a cap handy. Kothapatnam beach is near the town, but sand and heat make it a poor stop for older people on a road day. Thirty minutes here, then about 145 km to Vijayawada.

Second night
The Urbania reaches Vijayawada, about 790 km from Mysore, around lunch, and the second night is here, so elders get a long rest. The Kanaka Durga temple on Indrakeeladri hill has a road up, which makes an evening darshan easier for older people; keep about one and a half hours. In Dasara the temple is very crowded, so check the dates. For a quiet evening, the Gandhi Hill memorial has seven stupas, a library and a planetarium. Day three is about 350 km to Visakhapatnam.

Tea
Eluru, about 850 km from Mysore, is a tea and restroom halt, fifteen minutes on the highway. The Tammileru river flows through the town into Kolleru Lake, the largest shallow freshwater lake in Asia and a Ramsar wetland, about 15 km off the road. In winter it fills with birds, but it is a two hour detour, so most groups with elders keep it for another time. The driver parks the van in the shade while you stretch. Rajahmundry and lunch are about 95 km on.

Lunch
Lunch is at Rajahmundry, about 945 km out, a sit down meal for the group by the Godavari. Rajahmundry is the headquarters of East Godavari district and the seventh largest city of Andhra Pradesh. Near the city, the Kadiam nurseries cover about 3,500 acres of flower and plant beds, an easy, level walk for elders on a return day. Today keep forty minutes, with time for restrooms. The driver fills diesel here. About 195 km remain to Visakhapatnam, with Annavaram on the way.

Temple halt
Annavaram, about 1,045 km from Mysore, is the last halt before Vizag. The Urbania takes the hill road up Ratnagiri to the Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swamy temple, so elders avoid a long climb. Darshan alone takes about an hour on a normal day, while the collective Satyanarayana Vratam, the main ritual here, needs longer, so families who want it keep an extra hour. The town is about 18 km from Tuni on NH16. Visakhapatnam is about 95 km on.

Hotel drop
After roughly 24 to 24.5 hours of driving spread over three days, the Urbania arrives in Visakhapatnam, the biggest city of Andhra Pradesh, hills at its back and the sea at its front. The driver stops at the hotel door and helps elders with the bags. If anyone finds stairs or long corridors hard, ask the hotel for rooms on a lower floor. Dinner can be light Andhra food or fresh seafood. If you booked local days, the Urbania stays with you in the city.

Cancellation: no charge more than 72 hours before pickup; see the cancellation policy for the rest.
The Urbania covers about 1,140 km from Mysore to Visakhapatnam, about 2,280 km there and back. It goes round Bangalore, by Kolar and Chittoor to Tirupati, then north on the coastal highway through Nellore, Ongole, Vijayawada, Eluru and Rajahmundry. Driving time is about 24 to 24.5 hours with stops, split over three easy days with nights at Nellore and Vijayawada.
Yes, with three days each way and a halt every two hours. We do not drive at night.
A night allowance for the driver applies only if the drive runs late into the night. The quote lists it. ₹700 a night is the Urbania rate.
No. Toll and parking receipts are added at actual, and GST goes on the final bill.
The 8 seater. Each size and rate is on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Sure. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
On big festival days, yes. Daily pilgrims at Tirumala number above 60,000 and cross one lakh during Brahmotsavam, Vaikunta Ekadasi and holiday seasons, and the town roads slow down with them. Srivari Brahmotsavam runs nine days and is the biggest. The Urbania only halts for tea at Tirupati, but in those weeks we keep the halt on the Chandragiri side, away from the centre.
Yes. Each day has three or four breaks, for tea, a meal and fuel, so children are never seated for too long. The first day to Nellore is the longest, so carry snacks, a small pillow and something to play with. Days two and three are shorter, and the free afternoon at Vijayawada gives the children time off the road before the last day to Vizag.
