One pickup point
Kasaragod is about 365 km away, so all twenty travellers should assemble at a single spot by 5:30 am. Each extra pickup in the city costs time on a day this long. Taking Mysore Road west, the vehicle is on the expressway within the hour. Bags go at the back; water, snacks and rain jackets stay at the seats. The day runs breakfast at Channapatna, tea at Kushalnagar, then lunch at Sullia below the ghat.

Breakfast
Channapatna, about 60 km out, is the breakfast stop, reached by the exit to the old road. Artisan co operative shops in town sell lacquered toys straight from the makers, handy for a group buying small gifts for hosts on the coast. Twenty people eat in about half an hour at the larger hotels. Count heads before the mini bus moves, since the next halt is more than two hours away.

Drive on
Srirangapatna is about 125 km out. The mini bus stays on the expressway past the island town and then turns for the Hunsur road. Our drivers often cut across on the northern ring road of Mysore, which dodges the jam at the Manipal Hospital junction. No halt on the way in; the long coast leg still lies ahead. The group can rest on this stretch, since the expressway is smooth and the next halt is a long way ahead.

Carry on
Hunsur comes at about 175 km, about 45 km west of Mysore. The mini bus drives through on the two lane road. Periyapatna is about 30 km on and Kushalnagar about 40 km, where the group has tea. A quiet town with cheap hotels, Hunsur is a fallback for a night halt if the group ever needs to split the trip. Hunsur is also where the forest office for Nagarhole sits, useful to know if the group ever plans a safari.

Tea and head count
Tea is taken in Kushalnagar, where the vehicle waits in a hotel yard off the crowded main street near the bus stand. Tea and restrooms take about twenty minutes, then one head count. Next comes the climb to Madikeri and the long descent to Sullia, so anyone who feels sick on bends should take a front seat now. Shops here sell coffee and spices for anyone who wants to buy early.

Through Coorg
Once through Madikeri the mini bus begins the descent of the Sampaje ghat, the hill road down to Sullia. A landslide shut it in August 2018, and in heavy rain alerts the Kodagu administration has restricted heavy vehicles on ghat roads, so from June to August we check before the group leaves. Ask everyone to stay seated on the bends. The mini bus takes the bends slowly in low gear. Anyone prone to motion sickness should sit near the front with a window open.

Group lunch
The mini bus group eats lunch at Sullia, about 300 km out, where areca and rubber gardens close in on the town. Neer dosa and Tulu style rice meals come quickly for a big table, and the whole break takes about 45 minutes with a head count. A little past Jalsoor the road enters Kerala, and the driver carries the permit papers. About 65 km remain. Carry a few bottles of water for the rest of the drive.

Drop at the stay
After roughly eight hours on the road, the group is set down at its hotel; send the address early, since some town lanes are narrow and we may stop at the main road. Malabar biryani and fish curry are the coast meals to try, with ghee rice at many places. For the rest of the trip our driver lodges nearby. The coast is humid, so keep the evening plan light after the long day.

Kasaragod is about 365 km from Bangalore. The mini bus goes by the Mysore expressway, Srirangapatna, Hunsur, Kushalnagar, Madikeri, the Sampaje ghat and Sullia, about 730 km for the round trip. With breakfast, tea and lunch halts, a mini bus takes about 8 hours.
A 20 seater mini bus: 900 km over 3 days at ₹34/km, which makes ₹30,600. ₹2,100 allowance on top; GST, permits and tolls at actual.
It is. We add ₹2 a km and count the run back to Bangalore; the fare comes in writing before you book.
The 20 or 21 seater. See them all on mini bus on rent in Bangalore.
By 5:30 am. With halts on the way, the group reaches Kasaragod by mid afternoon.
Yes. Kasaragod is in Kerala, so the mini bus pays the state permit, billed at actual with tolls and GST.
It can. From June to August Kodagu gets very heavy rain, and the Sampaje ghat is the first road to watch; it was cut by landslides in August 2018. In alerts, heavy vehicles have been restricted on ghat roads. We check the latest order before the trip. October to May is the easier time.
We do not plan night runs through Kodagu with 20 people. The roads there have unmarked speed breakers, lorries and wildlife after dark, and the ghat is harder at night. Leave Bangalore early in the morning instead and arrive by evening. On the return, leave the coast after breakfast to cross the ghat in daylight.
