Pickup at your door
The driver comes to your home, a hotel near the palace, the railway station, the bus stand or the airport at Mandakalli. Leave at 5 am. The first day runs about 505 km to Kurnool, and the dark hours are the quiet ones on the expressway. Getting out of Mysore, the slowest point is usually where the ring road meets the expressway by Manipal Hospital, and before dawn it is clear. Pack a small bag for the night apart from the main luggage, so nobody opens the boot at the hotel.

Breakfast
Maddur comes at 65 km, a little over an hour out, and it is breakfast for a car that left at five. This is the home of the Maddur vada, a flat crisp fritter that mixes rice flour, rava and onion. The expressway now runs past the town, so the driver takes the exit to the shops on the old road. A tender coconut from the stalls is good before the long run. Keep it to 15 minutes; Bangalore is about 80 km ahead and the city edge fills up after eight.

Drive round the city
Bangalore is not a stop on this trip, only the hardest part of the drive. The expressway comes down at Kengeri, and the driver takes NICE Road round the south west of the city to Tumkur Road, which is tolled but far faster than the centre. From there the ring road via Dobbaspet, Doddaballapur and Devanahalli reaches the Hyderabad highway without the city traffic. Avoid the evening rush, when a 10 km city drive takes about 45 minutes. Yadagirigutta is still about 650 km away, so use the restroom at a fuel stop on the ring road.

Tea and fuel
At Chikkaballapur, about 205 km from Mysore, the car is on NH44 for the rest of the way north. The town is called Panchagiri for the five hills around it, and Nandi Hills is about 10 km off the road, better left for a separate weekend trip. Ten minutes covers tea and a toilet break. Fill the tank here or at the next big pump, because the highway into Andhra Pradesh is fast and the driver will not want to slow down for fuel in the afternoon heat.

Drive on
Penukonda lies about 280 km out, the first old town inside Andhra Pradesh, about 70 km short of Anantapur. Its fort walls are just off the highway, and the big sleeping Kumbhakarna figure with demons trying to wake him is a fun two minute look for children. A cab can turn in and out quickly, but on a 795 km day most families keep driving and save the fort for the way home. If someone needs a break, stop at a highway dhaba rather than the narrow town lanes.

Lunch
Anantapur, about 355 km out, is the lunch stop. Rayalaseema meals are fiery, so ask for less chilli if the elders are along; ragi sangati with country chicken curry is the local plate. The district is the driest part of Andhra Pradesh, and the afternoon sun on this stretch is strong, so carry water and keep the AC steady. Half an hour is enough. Gooty is about 50 km on, and then Kurnool, the last big town before the Telangana border crossing.

Tea and stretch
Gooty is about 405 km from Mysore, past the halfway mark of the whole trip. The fort crowns a cluster of rocky hills that you see long before the town. Here NH44 meets the highway that runs west to Guntakal and Bellary, so expect lorries at the junction. Fifteen minutes for tea and a stretch is right for a cab. Kurnool, tonight's halt, is about 100 km ahead, so the car usually checks in there before dark if the morning ran to plan.

Night halt
After about 505 km the cab stops for the night in Kurnool, the Tungabhadra city known as the gateway of Rayalaseema. The hotels on the bypass have parking and an early breakfast; mirchi bajji is the evening snack if anyone is hungry. Leave at first light next morning. North of the city NH44 crosses the Krishna at Beechupally in Telangana, where an Anjaneya temple stands by the road. About 290 km remains to Yadagirigutta, so day two is short and the car arrives by early afternoon.

Short break
Jadcherla comes about 630 km into the drive, roughly 130 km past Kurnool and 86 km short of Hyderabad. The road here joins the routes to Nalgonda and Wanaparthy, so the town is busy with buses. A ten minute halt for tea keeps the driver sharp for the city ring road ahead. For a cab group, one quick restroom break here means no stop is needed on the Outer Ring Road, where pulling over is not allowed except at exits and service areas.

Onto the ring road
At Shamshabad, about 690 km out on the south west edge of Hyderabad, the car leaves NH44 and takes the Outer Ring Road. This is the section that opened first, and it is the normal way for traffic heading to Yadagirigutta and Vijayawada, so the city centre stays out of the plan. The ring road is a wide access controlled expressway with no stopping on the main road. Ask the driver for the next exit if anyone needs a break. About 105 km remains to the temple town.

Last stretch
Bhongir is the last town, about 780 km from Mysore. Its fort sits on one huge rock in the middle of town and is easy to spot from the road. Pochampally, the village of ikat sarees, is about 25 km away and makes a good shopping trip on the return day. Tonight, drive on. Yadagirigutta is only about 15 km further, roughly twenty minutes, and the driver usually reaches the hotel before the temple road gets quiet.

Hotel drop
On the afternoon of day two, with about 16.5 to 17 hours of total driving done, the car reaches Yadagirigutta, also called Yadadri. The temple on the hillock was rebuilt and expanded between 2016 and March 2022. Weekend queues are long, so check in first and plan darshan for an early weekday morning. The driver drops you at your hotel and parks for the night. Hyderabad is only about 65 km away if you want a city day on the return.
Need a Mysore to Yadagirigutta cab for four to seven people for Lakshmi Narasimha darshan? Yadagirigutta (Yadadri) is roughly 795 km away, via Bangalore, Kurnool and the Hyderabad ring road. Ask for a Mysore to Yadagirigutta taxi through cab rental in Mysore: Dzire or Etios for four, Innova or Crysta for seven. The car to Yadagirigutta picks you up at a Nazarbad hotel or a palace-side hotel.

Yadagirigutta is about 795 km from Mysore one way, which makes about 1,590 km for the round trip. The cab runs up the expressway to Maddur, round Bangalore, then on NH44 through Anantapur, Kurnool and Jadcherla, takes the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road at Shamshabad and goes out past Bhongir. Plan on about 16.5 to 17 hours of driving with stops, split with a night at Kurnool.
On request, yes. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
If the return runs late at night, the driver gets a night allowance. The quote lists it. Rate card figure: ₹400 a night.
An Innova Crysta. Six people and their bags fit. All our cars are on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. At each place the driver waits, and local km are billed at the same rate.
No. On every cab trip, tolls, parking fees and GST come on top. Plus the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana entry permits for the car.
It is long and hot from March to May. Anantapur district is the driest part of Andhra Pradesh, and the stretch from Penukonda to Kurnool has little shade. We start before dawn, so most of the hot hours fall in the middle of the day when the AC is on and the car is moving. Carry plenty of water and light cotton clothes, and keep caps handy for the temple queue.
A sedan boot takes about two medium suitcases and two small bags; an Innova takes more if the last row is folded. For a trip of this length we suggest one bag per person and a separate small bag for the night halt or the first evening. Keep pooja items and snacks in the cabin. If you plan to buy Pochampally sarees on the way back, leave some space.
