Pickup at your door
Abbey Falls keeps roughly 9 to 5 hours, so the cab collects you around 8 from home, a hotel near the palace, the railway station, the bus stand or the Mandakalli airport. Avoiding the city centre, the car follows the ring road to Hinkal and joins the Hunsur road. Four people with day bags reach the falls in about two and a half hours, lunch included. If you are buying silk on the way back, the KSIC factory outlet on Manandavadi Road sells Mysore sarees; photos are not allowed inside.
Quick breakfast
The car's first halt is Hunsur, 45 km from Mysore. In one of the cheap town hotels a family can eat and be back in the car within fifteen minutes. Hunsur is a teak town at about 800 m, beside the Lakshmana Tirtha. Kabini and HD Kote are reached from here by SH 86, but our road is NH275 straight on towards Kodagu. The falls are about 85 km ahead, so this is the main meal before lunch in Madikeri.
Drive on
At Periyapatna, roughly 70 km out, the cab simply drives through. This is the last taluk town of Mysore district, written Piriyapatna on many maps. The Tibetan settlement of Bylakuppe lies inside this taluk, and the Golden Temple is a handy stop on the drive home in the afternoon. North of town, Bettadapura hill climbs to a Mallikarjuna shrine by about 3,000 steps, a different kind of day out. Kushalnagar comes in about 20 km.
Drive on
Kushalnagar, about 90 km from Mysore, is a busy river town with the Kaveri round three sides. The cab usually keeps going to save time for the falls, as NH275 here is being widened and the centre jams. On the way back, a short stop works for home made chocolates, coffee and spices from the town shops. Kanive, about 9 km north, has a hanging bridge if anyone wants another. Madikeri is about 30 km ahead, the last stretch climbing gently.
Lunch in town
Madikeri, at about 1,170 m, is the lunch stop, about 120 km from Mysore and only 10 km short of the falls. Kodava cooking is the thing to try: pandi curry soured with kachampuli, with akki otti or kadambuttu. The Omkareshwara temple, with a pond in the middle, is a short walk from the town centre. Coorg Arabica coffee, which has a GI tag, and pepper are easy to pick up here. In the rains, keep umbrellas handy for the walk down to the falls.
Falls parking
A short drive out of Madikeri, some 8 to 10 km, ends at the parking for Abbey Falls, roughly two and a half hours after you left Mysore. The water drops through a coffee plantation that is privately owned, and you watch it from a swaying footbridge opposite. Keep small notes ready; the estate charges a modest fee for entry and another for the car. Nobody may swim, and with no washroom near the falls, the family should go before leaving town.

We pick you up in Mysuru at the city bus stand or your hotel by the palace. Tejas Tours & Travels has run cab rental in Mysore since 2009. Some call it the Mysore to Abbey Falls taxi; it is the same car with a driver.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Abbey Falls is about 130 km from Mysore one way, about 260 km there and back. The cab follows NH275 through Hunsur, Periyapatna and Kushalnagar to Madikeri, then a local road for the last 10 km to the falls. By car it takes about two and a half hours with breakfast at Hunsur, a little longer if you stop for lunch in Madikeri.
Late driving after 10 pm carries a night bata, listed on the quote before you confirm.
They are extra. GST, tolls, parking and any permit are charged at actual.
Four to Abbey Falls: a Dzire or Etios. Six or seven, or four with big bags: Innova or Innova Crysta. All our cars are on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. A Mysore to Abbey Falls one way taxi is on request; you receive the fare before booking.
Yes. The driver waits at the parking while you walk down.
The falls are fullest in the monsoon and the weeks just after it, from about July to October. That is also when Madikeri is wettest and paths are slippery with leeches. For a balance, go in late September or October: still plenty of water, fewer showers, and the drive from Mysore is easier.
Yes, with a little care. The walk from the parking is short, but the steps are wet near the spray, and bathing is not allowed, so hold small hands. There are no toilets at the falls, so use the ones in Madikeri before you go. Carry snacks; the cab can stop in Madikeri for a proper meal after the visit.
