Other roads
- Via Hassan – Halebidu, about 185 km: Leaves the main road after Hassan and passes the Hoysaleswara Temple at Halebidu, about 30 km north-west of Hassan, before going on to Chikkamagaluru. A good choice if you want to see Halebidu without a separate trip.
- Via Channarayapatna (NH 75) – Hassan – Belur, about 190 km: A little longer, but it passes close to Shravanabelagola, about 11 km from Channarayapatna, so you can add the Gommateshwara statue on the way.
Stops on the way
- Krishnarajanagara (KR Nagar): Town on NH 373 about 41 km from Mysuru, west of the Krishna Raja Sagara reservoir; a first break on the road.
- Holenarasipura: Town on the Hemavati river, about 29 km before Hassan, with the 16th-century Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Temple, which has three sanctums.
- Hassan: District town on the way. Its Hasanamba Temple opens only once a year, for about a week around Deepavali; the Hemavathi Dam at Gorur is about 26 km away.
- Shravanabelagola: Jain pilgrimage town about 11 km from Channarayapatna and about 51 km from Hassan, with the Gommateshwara statue of about 57 to 58 ft from the late 10th century; a detour off the main road.
- Chennakeshava Temple, Belur: Hoysala temple commissioned in 1117 CE by King Vishnuvardhana, part of the UNESCO World Heritage site Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas (2023). Belur is about 25 km from Chikkamagaluru.
- Hoysaleswara Temple, Halebidu: Hoysala Shiva temple about 16 km from Belur, part of the same UNESCO site; it lies on the alternative road via Halebidu.

Best time to travel
October to February is the most pleasant time for the trip, with dry, clear weather in the hills. June to September is the monsoon, when forest trails near Chikkamagaluru get slippery and hill roads such as the one to Mullayanagiri can be closed on red-alert days. The road itself has no night closure, but an early start leaves time for stops at Belur.
Which vehicle suits this trip?
A sedan suits a couple or a small family. For more people or more luggage, an Ertiga, Innova or Innova Crysta, or a tempo traveller for groups. Every vehicle comes with a driver.
