Pickup for the group
The whole group of 20 gathers at one point by 5:30 am; each extra pickup costs time before the expressway. The mini bus takes Mysore Road out and joins the expressway near Kengeri before the Nayandahalli junction fills up. Bags go at the back. Everyone should carry water, a cap and socks, because shoes come off in the prayer halls. The monastery is about 220 km away, five hours with three halts.
Breakfast
Breakfast for the group is at Channapatna, 60 km from the city, where the mini bus takes the exit to a big hotel on the old road. Half an hour is enough for twenty. The town is famous for its lacquered wooden toys, and buying straight from the makers' co operative counters is the cheapest way for a group to collect small gifts. Do it on the drive back. Count heads before leaving, because Maddur and Srirangapatna are passed without a halt.
Vada town
The mini bus skips Maddur, 80 km from Bangalore, on the expressway. On the drive home its flat vada is worth the exit, fried hot at the shops on the old road. Malavalli lies some 24 km south of the town on state highway 33, the way to Shivanasamudra falls, a different outing altogether. The Shimsha river runs through Maddur, which is why locals also call it Madduru Hole. The next planned stop is tea at Periyapatna, well over an hour ahead, so snacks on board help.
Temple and fort
The mini bus crosses the 125 km mark at Srirangapatna, Tipu Sultan's island capital, and soon turns off for the Hunsur road. For a school trip on another day, Daria Daulat Bagh, the painted teak summer palace, keeps roughly 9 am to 5 pm hours. Some drivers take the northern ring road of Mysore from this point, which keeps the vehicle clear of the slow Manipal junction. No stop this morning; the group can rest on the smooth road.
Tea before the hills
The mini bus goes through Hunsur, 175 km along, without a halt. Hunsur is the town of the Nagarhole forest office, and the Veeranahosahalli gate road starts close by; a nature club may want that for another trip. Teak timber and tobacco auctions keep the town busy. About 30 km more to Periyapatna and the tea halt. Pass the name list round now. The road narrows to two lanes, so the mini bus keeps a steady, gentle pace through the tobacco country.
Last town before the camps
Periyapatna is the tea stop, 205 km from Bangalore. Fifteen minutes for tea and restrooms, then one head count. The town is the last taluk headquarters of Mysore district before Kodagu, and Bylakuppe falls within its limits. Use the halt to brief the group: quiet in the halls, shoes off where asked, and walk clockwise around the stupas. The monastery is about 15 km on. Restrooms at the fuel pumps are cleaner than in the bazaar.
Monastery gate
Outside the Namdroling gate at Camp 4 the mini bus parks and the group walks in. Arrive by mid morning and students may catch the monks' open debates at the Sera Jey and Sera Mey monasteries, which start around 9:30 am, with a second round in the evening. For lunch, twenty people can be fed in turns at the camp eateries on momos, thukpa and thenthuk. Kushalnagar, 6 km away, has hotels that take groups.

The Bylakuppe Golden Temple is about 220 km from Bangalore. The mini bus goes by the Mysore expressway, Srirangapatna, Hunsur and Periyapatna, so the round trip is about 440 km. With breakfast and a tea halt, it takes about 5 hours, reaching the monastery late in the morning.
Yes, our driver is paid a night allowance for late night driving. We put it in the quote.
Yes. One way runs ₹2 a km higher than the round trip rate. Give us the date and we quote one way.
No, they come on top. Diesel and the driver are in the rate. Toll, parking and permit charges are paid at actual, and GST is added.
The 20 seater works: 600 km over 2 days at ₹34/km is ₹20,400, with ₹700 a day allowance. The full list of sizes is on mini bus on rent in Bangalore.
Be on the road by 5:30 am. With stops at Channapatna and on the way, the mini bus reaches around 11:15 am. The main hall has three gilded statues, so plan the day around it.
October to February is the best window: dry, mild weather for walking between the camps. Pair it with Ranganathittu on the return, where nesting birds are seen from June to November. April and May are hot on the expressway stretch, and June to September brings rain to this edge of Coorg.
Yes. It is about 440 km there and back, so leave at 5:30 am, spend two to three hours at the camps, and start back by 2 pm. The highway to Hunsur and Mysore and the expressway are fine after dark, and the group reaches Bangalore by late evening. Keep one dinner halt on the way.
