Group pickup point
Ask the whole group to meet at one point, a temple, school or office gate, at 5:30 am. Each extra pickup costs time at the start of a long day. The mini bus heads out by Mysore Road to the expressway at Kengeri, and the early hour keeps it ahead of the Nayandahalli jam. Bags go at the back; pooja items, water and a towel stay with each person. Breakfast is at Channapatna, about 60 km out.
Breakfast
Channapatna is the breakfast halt, about 60 km out, reached by the exit from the expressway to the old road. Besides its famous toys, Channapatna taluk twists raw silk and grows coconut and ragi, and the town sits on the Kanva river at about 739 m. Twenty people eat in about half an hour at the bigger hotels. Count heads before the mini bus moves, because the next halt is Kushalnagar, well over two hours away.
Drive on
Srirangapatna, about 125 km out, is passed on the expressway. Scott's Bungalow and the Garrison Cemetery, two small colonial era sights about 300 m off the highway, suit a school group on a slower return. On the way in the mini bus keeps moving and turns soon after the town for the Hunsur road, which takes it round Mysore city instead of through it. Breakfast is done, so the next halt is tea at Kushalnagar, still close to 100 km ahead.
Drive through
Hunsur comes about 175 km out. The mini bus joins this road from the Mysore side without entering the city, and drives through the town without a halt. Kushalnagar is about 40 km ahead, through Periyapatna. Hunsur is a quiet town with cheap hotels, useful if a group ever needs a night halt on the way. The driver keeps an even pace, and the group can rest before the hill road.
Tea and head count
Kushalnagar, about 220 km out, is the tea halt. Kushalnagar has no railway station, so the KSRTC bus stand here is busy, and the mini bus parks off the main road to keep clear of it. Tea for 20 is quick at the larger hotels. Do a head count before leaving, since the next part through Madikeri to Bhagamandala is about an hour of hill driving with no planned stop.
Through Madikeri
Madikeri, at about 1,170 m, is the district town and the last big market before Bhagamandala. For a group staying two days, Kotebetta, about 22 km from town, is a popular trek. The mini bus drives through and takes the Bhagamandala road, about 33 to 39 km of narrow hill road. Sit facing forward on the bends. This stretch is slow, so the driver keeps a steady low speed, and nobody should stand in the aisle while the mini bus is moving.
Temple square
The mini bus reaches Bhagamandala, at about 898 m, a little after noon and parks near the temple square, where there is usually room for a vehicle of this size. The temple runs a free vegetarian lunch of rice, sambar and buttermilk, so the group can eat together without booking. Dress simply for the temple. This is often the wettest place in Kodagu, so umbrellas are a must from June to September. Talakaveri is about 8 km uphill from here.

Bhagamandala is about 285 km from Bangalore. The mini bus goes by the Mysore expressway, Srirangapatna, Hunsur, Kushalnagar and Madikeri, the last 35 km on a hill road, so the round trip is about 570 km. With a breakfast halt and a tea stop, a mini bus takes about 6.5 hours, reaching the temple a little after noon.
Yes. One way runs ₹2 more per km than the round trip rate. The one way fare comes with your date.
Yes, when the mini bus runs late into the night our driver gets a night bata. The amount is on the quote.
Be on the road by 5:30 am. Bhagandeshwara temple stands at the Triveni Sangama, so plan the day around it. With halts at Channapatna and en route, the mini bus reaches around 12:30 pm.
Take the 20 seater at ₹34/km; 600 km in 2 days is ₹20,400, plus ₹700 per day for our driver. See every size on mini bus on rent in Bangalore.
No. Tolls, permits and parking are paid at cost, plus GST. The km rate has fuel and driver in it.
A lot. Bhagamandala is the wettest station in Kodagu in most years, often over 4,500 mm, and in 2018 it got about 5,585 mm. Most of it falls from June to September. On the heaviest days the river area floods and roads close, and the district asks pilgrims to stay away. For a group trip, October to May is far easier.
Yes, with planning. It is a long day, so leave at 5:30 am and keep one teacher in charge of each row. The hill road after Madikeri winds, so children prone to sickness sit in front. At the temple, keep the group together near the river, and carry spare clothes in case anyone gets wet.
