One pickup point
Forty or fifty students board most quickly at their own college gate, so we bring the coach there for a 6:30 am departure. Crowded central spots are a bad idea for a big vehicle; around the main bus station the police allow a private coach only moments to load. Every passenger needs a water bottle and, from July to October, something waterproof for the spray. The breakfast hotel at Ramanagara is told our numbers the evening before.
Breakfast off the expressway
Ramanagara, about 45 km out, is the breakfast stop. The bus takes the service road and stops at a hotel with room to park. Forty minutes covers breakfast for fifty and a head count. Ramanagara sits among granite hills used for rock climbing, and the vulture sanctuary on Ramadevara Betta is nearby; drones and loud music are not welcome there. The town is known as Silk Town for its huge cocoon market.
Toy town, quick look
Lacquered wooden toys are Channapatna's trade, and the town comes about 60 km out. Stopping a full coach here on the way in eats into the falls, so we suggest one quick visit to a single cooperative shop on the drive home, where a leader can buy for the whole group. The expressway runs round the town, so the coach leaves it at the exit. The taluk also twists raw silk and grows coconut and ragi. Maddur, where we turn south, is about 20 km on.
Turn for Malavalli
At Maddur the bus leaves the expressway, about 80 km out. A twenty minute snack halt: the stalls fry Maddur vada fresh, and tender coconut is cheap here. Maddur sits at about 662 m on the Shimsha. In September 1897 the railway bridge here collapsed over the flooded river; two concrete bridges replaced it in 2014. From here SH 33 goes south to Malavalli and the falls, a narrower road for a big bus.
Sugarcane country
Cane fields close in around Malavalli, roughly 110 km out, the final town before the falls; the coach rolls straight through. Mandya district has more jaggery units than any other in the state, and in season the smell of boiling cane drifts across the road. An old temple with a carved gate faces a lake in the town. Beyond Malavalli the road bridges the Kaveri and the turn for the falls follows. Coordinators should brief the group now on the steps at the viewpoints.
Two viewpoints
About three and a half hours by bus with breakfast and a snack. Buses park at the viewpoint lots of both falls, which are a few km apart by road. Fifty people need about an hour at each, with the steps. Locals call the falls Bluff. In the monsoon the water spreads up to about 300 m wide and the viewpoints are crowded on weekends, so arrive early. Give the group one meeting point at the bus.

|---|---|---|---|
Bangalore to Shivanasamudra Falls via Ramanagara, Maddur and Malavalli | About 145 km | About 290 km | About 3.5 hr with stops |
The falls are about 145 km from Bangalore, so a return day is about 290 km. That comes under our 300 km daily minimum, so it is billed as one day at 300 km. Adding Talakadu stays close to that. Tolls, parking and GST are extra at actual cost. Volvo and BharatBenz on request, at 400 km a day. The per km rate already pays for diesel and driver; the driver's day allowance is extra. Both AC and non-AC buses are available, and the rate depends on the one you choose.
Vehicle | Rate per km | 1 day, 300 km | 2 days, 600 km | 3 days, 900 km |

Totals are the km fare plus the day driver allowance. Extra: night driver allowance (₹700 to ₹1,000 a night, by size), tolls, parking and GST. Shared by 50, 2 days in the 50 Seater Bus is about ₹690 a person.
Up to 30: 30 seater bus. 31 to 40: 40 seater bus. 41 to 50: 50 seater bus. For a day trip, the 2+3 layout is fine and keeps the cost per head low.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

Shivanasamudra is about 145 km from Bangalore on the bus route, the Mysore expressway to Maddur and then SH 33 through Malavalli, so close to 290 km for the round trip. A full bus needs about three and a half hours each way, counting breakfast and a snack halt.
One day at 300 km: a 50 seater at ₹54/km is ₹16,200. Driver allowance ₹1,000. Tolls, parking and GST extra.
From July to October, after the monsoon. In summer the flow is thin.
The 40 seater. See all sizes on bus on rent in Bangalore.
Yes, it is about 30 km from the falls. Usually still within the 300 km day.
Yes, at both viewpoints. Weekends in the monsoon are crowded, so arrive early.
The expressway is better. It is wide and quick as far as Maddur, and SH 33 from there is a fair two lane road. The Kanakapura road through Halagur is narrower near the city and slower for a full bus. We take the expressway both ways unless the group wants another stop on the Kanakapura side.
Yes. Leave the falls by about 5 pm so the smaller road to Maddur is done in daylight. From Maddur the expressway is wide and easy at night, and the bus reaches Bangalore in about an hour and a half more. Night driving beyond the agreed time is planned with the driver in advance.
