Door pickup
For a temple day in Bhagamandala the car leaves at 5:30 am, which puts you at the river by late morning, before the noon crowd. We collect from your door, and if you live in the south of the city the driver uses NICE Road to reach the Mysore expressway without the inner traffic. Carry a change of clothes and a towel in a small bag if anyone plans a holy dip. Bhagamandala is about 285 km away, and breakfast comes at Channapatna, about an hour out.
Breakfast, kept short
Channapatna is about 60 km out, and the car takes the exit off the expressway to the old road for breakfast. The town is known for its lacquered toys, which carry a GI tag; they are turned from soft ivory wood and coloured with vegetable dyes, so they are safe for toddlers to chew. Buy them on the way home, when the temple visit is done. Thirty minutes covers idli, vada, coffee and a restroom, and then it is a long run to Kushalnagar.
We drive on
At about 125 km the expressway crosses the Kaveri near Srirangapatna, the same river you will see at its source side in Kodagu. The old Wellesley bridge over the river here dates from 1804. The car does not stop on the way in; soon after the island town it leaves the Mysore road for the Hunsur road and skips the city completely. If you want the Srirangapatna temples, keep them for the return day, when the Gananguru toll is paid on the way back.
Straight through
Hunsur, about 175 km out, is where several roads split: state highway 90 goes off towards the Anechowkur side of Nagarhole, while our road continues west to Periyapatna and Kushalnagar. The car keeps a steady pace through the two lane stretch without stopping. Fuel pumps with restrooms are on the way if needed. From here it is roughly an hour and a half more to Madikeri, and Bhagamandala is about 110 km ahead.
Coffee and a stretch
Kushalnagar, about 220 km out, is the coffee halt. Stretch your legs on the main road, where shops sell home made chocolates, spices and Coorg coffee; a box of chocolates keeps well in the car for the drive back. The traffic through town is slow while the highway is widened, so the driver pulls in off the main road. Fifteen minutes, then the climb to Madikeri begins, and the river you have followed since Srirangapatna is the Kaveri again.
Straight through
Madikeri, at about 1,170 m, is the last real town before Bhagamandala, so this is the place for anything you forgot, from snacks to an umbrella. The cab drives through the centre and takes the Bhagamandala road, about 33 to 39 km of narrow hill road with bends. If you come back through Madikeri in the afternoon, the General Thimayya museum, set in the general's family home, reopens at about 3 pm after its lunch break. Keep the camera ready on the descent into the valley.
Temple square drop
Bhagamandala sits at about 898 m, and the car parks close to the temple square, so elders walk only a short way. The temple serves a free vegetarian lunch of rice, sambar and buttermilk, which most families have before heading on. Dress modestly for the temple. On Tula Sankramana, 17 or 18 October, the town fills with pilgrims and parking is hard, so plan an early arrival on that day. Talakaveri is about 8 km higher up the hill if you go on.
Need a Bangalore to Bhagamandala cab for your family or a few friends? By car, NH275 goes soon, with halts only where you want. Bhagamandala is in Kodagu (Coorg). A seasoned driver comes with our cab rental in Bangalore.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Bhagamandala is about 285 km from Bangalore, by the Mysore expressway, Srirangapatna, Hunsur, Kushalnagar and Madikeri, with the last 35 km or so on a hill road from Madikeri. The round trip is about 570 km. A cab takes about 5 hours with a breakfast halt and a coffee stop, and Talakaveri is about 8 km further up.
Innova Crysta. 600 km over 2 days at ₹20/km is ₹12,000, plus ₹400 per day allowance. See all cars on cab rental in Bangalore.
Yes. Share the date; the billed km and fare come back in writing. A one way taxi is ₹2 more per km than the round trip km rate.
If our driver drives well into the night, a night bata is added. You see it on the quote first.
No. The car rate covers fuel, AC and the driver. Parking, tolls and permits go at actual cost, and GST on top.
Yes. The same rate applies to local km. The road from Madikeri is narrow and winding. Most families cover Triveni Sangama, Bhagandeshwara Temple and Talacauvery.
Mostly, but not always. Bhagamandala is often the wettest place in Kodagu, with over 4,500 mm of rain in many years. In heavy spells the river area goes under water and the roads to Madikeri and Napoklu have flooded, and the district has asked pilgrims to stay away on such days. From June to August we check the local advisory the evening before you leave.
Yes. The drive is on highway till Kushalnagar, and only the last stretch from Madikeri winds through hills. Give children who feel sick on bends the window seat and a light breakfast, and the driver stops whenever you ask. At the temple, keep small children close near the river steps, and carry a dry set of clothes for them.
