Pickup
The Urbania picks up the group at 5:30 am from your street in Mysuru, a hotel or Mysore Junction, where the station has lifts and escalators if anyone arrives by train with heavy bags. The road out is the Hunsur highway to Bilikere and then SH57 to KR Nagar, about 40 km. Pack for one night in Sirsi, and keep rain jackets handy in the monsoon. The back luggage space takes one medium bag a head.

Tea halt
KR Nagar is the first halt, about 40 km out, and the Urbania stops for fifteen minutes. The town lies at about 786 m, west of the KRS reservoir, among paddy and sugarcane. Vegetarian eateries open around 7 am, so tea and a light snack are easy. The Yedatore picnic spot on the Kaveri bank is about 4 km out on the Hassan road, good for the return if children want a break. Hassan is about 80 km on.

Breakfast
Hassan, at about 120 km, is the breakfast halt. Twelve people fit around two tables at the highway hotels, and twenty five minutes is enough for dosa, kadubu and coffee. Shravanabelagola, with the Bahubali statue, is about 51 km south east of Hassan; we pass it by on this route. October is the wettest month in Hassan town, with about 169 mm. Our road now runs north to Kadur, about 80 km away.

Short halt
Ten minutes in Kadur, around 200 km out, lets the younger ones buy tea while elders rest in the cool cabin. The town had some 34,151 residents at the last census, sits close to 760 m and once served as the district headquarters. A branch road, NH173, heads to Chikmagalur from here, but our Urbania keeps north west towards Bhadravathi and Shivamogga. Lunch waits about 75 km on, so a light snack here is enough.

Lunch
Shivamogga, about 275 km from Mysore, is the lunch halt, and the Urbania parks close to the hotel. Allow forty minutes. Shivamogga sits on the Tunga at about 569 m. The Bhadra dam at Lakkavalli lies about 28 km away; we pass that side on the way here, and it is better for a return visit. Fuel up before the Sagar road. The cool, clear months in this district are October to March.

Tea halt
The Urbania stops a quarter of an hour at Sagar, about 350 km along, for tea. Should one member need to head home early, Sagara Jambagaru station has express trains back to Mysuru. Spice gardens around the town grow pepper, clove and nutmeg beside the areca. Both Keladi and Ikkeri, temple towns from the Keladi Nayaka days, are about 6 km away, so save them for the drive home. Sirsi is about 75 km north.

Night halt
We stay the night in Sirsi, about 425 km out. The town gets heavy rain, July alone about 971 mm, so from June to September the group should carry umbrellas to dinner. Kumta railway station is 62 km away and Talaguppa 54 km, in case anyone travels on by train. Sirsi supari and betel leaf are local buys. In the morning the Urbania goes down the Kumta road towards Yana, about 60 km.

Yana parking
The Urbania reaches Yana in the morning, after about 11.5 to 12 hours of driving in all from Mysore. The approach is off the Kumta to Sirsi highway, and the final stretch is a mud road, so the driver goes slowly. From the parking it is a short forest walk. Keep valuables in the vehicle and carry water. Kumta is about 25 km away and Sirsi about 40 km if you plan the next stay.

Plan for about 485 km in each direction, roughly 970 km overall. The Urbania follows SH57 to Hassan, the highway past Kadur and Shivamogga, then Sagar and Sirsi, before descending the Kumta road to Kathagala and the forest track. Around 11.5 to 12 hours of driving with halts is typical, and we break it with an overnight stop in Sirsi.
The walk is short but rocky. Elders can see the peaks from near the parking.
For Yana, the 10 seater, or the 12 seater with big bags. All sizes are on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
They are. Yana: toll and parking receipts are added at actuals, and GST goes on the final bill.
A late night return adds the driver night allowance. Per night it is ₹700.
It can be done. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
The highways up to Sirsi are good. The Kumta road from Sirsi has ghat bends through forest, and the last stretch to the Yana parking is a narrow mud road, which gets soft after rain from June to September. The Urbania drives it slowly in daylight. October to February is the driest time.
In the Urbania. The bags stay locked in the luggage space at the back and the driver waits at the parking. Carry only a small bag with water, a cap and medicines on the walk. If you stay the night in Sirsi, leave the big bags in the lodge and travel light to Yana in the morning.
