Pickup at your door
The car is at your gate by six, whether that is a house in any layout, a hotel round the palace or the Mandakalli airport. Anyone who wants flowers for the shrine can pick up Mysore mallige, the city's own jasmine, from an early stall. Leaving town, the driver takes the Hunsur road only as far as Bilikere and then follows SH57 through KR Nagar, where traffic is light at dawn. Baba Budangiri is about 220 km away, roughly four hours by car with short halts.
Tea stop
Holenarasipura sits on the Hemavathi, about 85 km from Mysore, and the name itself joins the river, Hole, with Narasimha. For a car, ten minutes is enough for coffee and a stretch. The Lakshmi Narasimha temple in town is a 16th century shrine with three sanctums, close to the road if someone wants a quick darshan. Hassan is only about 30 to 35 km ahead, where breakfast is better, so most families keep this halt short and move on.
Breakfast
Twenty minutes at Hassan for breakfast, about 120 km into the trip. The car can stop at the door of any hotel you like, and akki rotti, the rice flour flatbread, is the Malnad plate to order with strong coffee. The city stands at about 950 m. If you are back this way on another day, Gorur dam on the Hemavathi, about 22 km off, is a pleasant detour. Belur is about 38 km ahead on the road that leaves NH75 here.
Temple halt
Belur is the one long halt before the hills. The Chennakeshava temple, begun in 1117 AD, stands in the middle of town, and the car waits close by. Entry is free; shoes go to the stand. Look up at the bracket figures, 38 of them, carved as dancers and musicians on the pillar tops. Forty five minutes is enough for a family. Halebidu is 16 km away, a better plan for the way back. Chikmagalur and lunch are about 25 km ahead.
Lunch and fuel
Lunch in Chikmagalur, about 185 km out, takes thirty minutes for four. Ask for kadubu, the steamed rice dumplings, and finish with Malnad filter coffee. This is the last fuel and ATM before the hill road, so the driver tops up here. Coffee powder and black pepper are the things to buy. From town the road climbs about 35 km into the Baba Budangiri range, narrow and winding, so motion sickness tablets help if anyone needs them.
Hill parking
The car climbs the hill road and stops at the parking below the shrine, about 4.5 to 5 hours from Mysore. The hilltop is colder and often misty, even when Chikmagalur town is pleasant, so carry a jacket. Tea and corn stalls near the parking are the only food; proper meals are back in Chikmagalur. On Datta Jayanti days in December the range is crowded and vehicles are controlled, so check the date before you fix the trip. There are no rooms on the hill.

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.

Baba Budangiri is about 220 km from Mysore one way, about 440 km round trip. The cab goes via KR Nagar and Holenarasipura on SH57 to Hassan, then Belur and Chikmagalur, and up the hill road. By car it takes about 4.5 to 5 hours with short halts.
Yes. Ask for a Mysore to Baba Budangiri one way cab quote with your date; you get km and fare in writing.
Around 6:00 am, and you reach Baba Budangiri with the day still ahead. A car is quicker than the bigger vehicles, so our driver can also wait for a late riser.
An Innova Crysta; six people and bags fit. Every car we run is on cab rental in Mysore. For this trip it is ₹12,000 for 600 km at ₹20/km, and ₹800 driver allowance.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. The quote lists it. Night bata: ₹400.
Not included. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
November to February is the best time: dry days, clear views and cool air, with Chikmagalur at about 11 to 20 C in winter and colder on the hill. July, August and October are the wettest months, when mist hides the view and the hill road is slippery. Avoid the Datta Jayanti days in December, when the range is crowded.
The car goes up to the parking below the shrine, so the walk is short for most families. The hilltop is cold and windy, so carry warm layers for elders and children. The last 35 km has many bends; seat anyone who feels sick in front. There is no food except tea and corn stalls, so carry snacks.
