Dates are flexible. This day-by-day plan is provisional until you choose exact travel dates.
Leave around 8:00 a.m. and take the route via Kunigal, Hassan, Belur and Kalasa. Allow roughly 7–9 hours for driving and ordinary breaks; with the temple visits and lunch below, expect the day to take closer to 9–11 hours, depending on traffic and the final ghat-road conditions. Keep baby supplies, water and a change of clothes handy, and check the ghat route before setting out. Park near Chennakeshava Temple in Belur and allow 1–1.5 hours for the visit; check current opening arrangements before you go, as timings can change.
Have a simple vegetarian lunch at a local restaurant in Belur; budget about ₹150–₹350 per person and allow 45–60 minutes. Then continue toward Kalasa for a brief 30–45-minute stop at Kalaseshwara Temple, checking local access and opening hours on the day. The roads become more winding as you approach the ghats, so keep the pace comfortable and plan a short baby break if needed.
Continue to Horanadu, park at or near your accommodation, and keep the evening light after the long journey. Confirm your lodging and parking arrangements in advance, and contact the temple directly about the Annaprashana procedure, required booking or paperwork, and ceremony timing; don’t assume a slot will be available on arrival.
Keep the morning for the Shri Annapoorneshwari Temple allow 2–3 hours for the ceremony and darshan, including queues. Contact the temple directly before travelling to confirm the Annaprashana procedure, reporting time, required offerings or documents, and whether advance booking is needed; ceremony access and timings can vary. Arrive with a little flexibility, and keep the baby’s essentials handy.
Afterwards, have a relaxed meal at a local vegetarian restaurant near the temple. Allow about an hour and budget roughly ₹150–₹350 per person; check what is open locally that day rather than relying on fixed hours. Then set aside 30–45 minutes to check out, pack and tend to the baby before leaving—starting the return drive promptly will help, but don’t rush the ceremony.
Drive from Horanadu to RT Nagar, Bengaluru via Kalasa, Belur, Hassan and Kunigal. Allow roughly 7–9 hours including breaks, and expect to reach Bengaluru late; hill roads can be slow, so keep the schedule flexible and plan a dinner or rest stop as needed. With a baby, take breaks for feeding and changing rather than trying to make the journey in one stretch.
