🚌 KSRTC Bus Route
Live bus timetable, fares & boarding points
Mysore to Chitradurga is a roughly 225 km journey that KSRTC buses cover via Nagamangala and Turuvekere, bypassing Bengaluru entirely for a more direct run through Mandya and Tumakuru districts. KSRTC operates this route with a mix of Karnataka Sarige day services, Non AC Sleeper coaches, and Pallakki Non AC Sleeper buses for late-night travel, with most departures clustered in the evening and night hours. Travelers use this route to reach Chitradurga's historic hill fort and onward connections to Hospet, Davanagere, and the Bellary-Hampi corridor, with journeys typically taking between 4 and 6.5 hours depending on the service and time of day.

Travel Tips
- Overnight Non AC Sleeper or Pallakki services (departing 9 PM–11 PM) are the most comfortable choice for this 5-6 hour route, letting you arrive in Chitradurga fresh in the early morning.
- Daytime Karnataka Sarige buses are more frequent but have more intermediate stops via Nagamangala and Turuvekere, so factor in some timing buffer versus the fastest sleeper services.
- Book sleeper berths a day in advance where possible — availability on the Non AC Sleeper and Pallakki services can run low, as seen with limited seats on some departures.
- Board from Mysuru Bus Stand for the widest choice of departures; a few evening services also pick up from Columbia Asia Hospital Signal and Sathagalli Bus Stand along the way.
Best time to travel: October to February offers the most comfortable travel weather for this route, avoiding both the summer heat around Chitradurga and the monsoon rains in the Mandya-Tumakuru stretch.
