Pickup
The tempo traveller leaves at 6 am, picking the group up from one agreed point. In October and November heavy evening rain often jams the city, so on the return we plan to reach Bangalore before the evening rush. Load the bags at the gate; a Force Traveller is about 2.55 m tall and does not fit most basements. The van takes Mysore Road and the expressway. Breakfast is at Maddur, about 80 km on, so the children can sleep till then.
Breakfast
Maddur, about 80 km out, is the breakfast halt for the group. The van leaves the expressway at the Maddur exit and stops on the old road. Maddur vada is said to have begun with vendors on the town's railway platform, and it is still sold hot at stalls here. For 15 people, twenty five minutes covers food and restrooms. By the highway in Maddur taluk is the Shivapura Satyagraha Soudha, built for the 1938 flag satyagraha. Mysore is 65 km on.
Ring road
Mysore is passed by the ring road. Where the expressway meets it, by Manipal Hospital, cars often bunch up for a few minutes. Families who want to shop should save the city for the drive home; then the Devaraja market, near the railway station, is an hour of flowers, fruit and kumkum that children enjoy. Today the van carries on to the Nanjangud road, NH 766, which continues all the way through Gundlupet into Wayanad.
Temple stop
Nanjangud, on the banks of the Kapila about 25 km south of Mysore, is the family's temple halt. Inside the Srikanteshwara temple, children like the big stone Nandi, about 8 ft tall and placed there in 1644, and the outer walls, where 122 figures of Shiva sit in niches. The temple keeps morning hours until about 1 pm, so a darshan fits well on the way out. The van parks close by, and twenty minutes keeps the day on schedule. Gundlupet is 35 km ahead.
Restroom
Gundlupet, at about 816 m, is the last Karnataka town before the forest, so the van stops for restrooms and water. Eating here is not easy, with only small wayside places, so most travellers going into Kerala eat at Sultan Bathery instead. The town is called the Land of Tigers, since Bandipur lies about 17 km away. Ten minutes is enough, and the next 25 km or so is forest where nobody gets down.
Forest
Muthanga, part of the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, is where the children should look out of the windows. Elephant, gaur, deer and peafowl are seen, and tiger, leopard and sloth bear live here too. It is also a Project Elephant area. The van cannot stop on the forest road. The best months for animals are December to May. Sultan Bathery is about 15 km on, and lunch can wait till then.
Arrival
The tempo traveller reaches Sultan Bathery in about five hours. The town took its name from Tipu Sultan's army, which kept ammunition here, so Sultan's Battery became Sultan Bathery. Bathery is about 114 km from Mysore. The van drops the group at the hotel with the bags. Cricket fans can see the Krishnagiri stadium near town, among the highest grounds in the country at about 2,100 ft. Evenings are cool, so keep the jackets out.
Going to Wayanad with family, 10 to 15 people, and staying around Sultan Bathery? What follows is the Bangalore to Sultan Bathery Tempo Traveller route, the halts and the fare for each size.

Bangalore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Teja Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

Sultan Bathery is about 260 km from Bangalore, about 520 km there and back. The road goes by Maddur, Mysore, Nanjangud, Gundlupet and Muthanga. A tempo traveller takes about 5 hours with breakfast, so a 6 am start gets the family to Bathery by about 11 am.
2 days at 600 km and ₹24/km make ₹14,400. Add ₹500 a day driver allowance, tolls and GST.
Yes, by day. The forest road is closed from 9 pm to 6 am, so we always cross in daylight.
The 17 seater. All sizes are on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
The climb is steep and long. Most elders wait at the foot while the others go up.
Yes. The extra km inside Wayanad are added at the same rate.
No. The road climbs gently from Mysore to Bathery at about 900 m without hairpin bends. The only special stretch is about 25 km of forest through Bandipur and Muthanga, where the van cannot stop and the road shuts from 9 pm to 6 am. In heavy rain the forest road gets wet, so the driver takes it slower.
In a 17 seater, one suitcase for each person goes in the back, with small bags under the seats. For a two night Wayanad trip that is enough. Keep a day bag at hand with water, snacks and rain jackets, because the back is not opened in the forest. Tell us in advance about a pram or a cool box.
