Group pickup
The history tour group boards the coach at 4:30 from one meeting point in Mysuru, such as a hotel near the palace, the railway station or the city bus stand. Winter dawns here can fall to around 8 C, so students should keep a sweater handy until sunrise. The coach heads out on the expressway, crosses the river at Srirangapatna and then climbs onto the Pandavapura road towards KR Pet. Allow about nine hours to Banavasi. Every bag in the hold needs a name tag.
Tea
The coach makes its first stop after 90 km at Channarayapatna, pulling into one of the NH75 hotels whose yards can hold a full bus. Twenty minutes for tea and washrooms, with the leaders doing a first head count at the door. The highway is tolled on this stretch, and the coach pays through its FASTag without stopping long. Breakfast is planned at Arsikere, about 55 km ahead, so the group should only take tea here.
Breakfast and fuel
Breakfast for the coach is at Arsikere, 145 km out, at a hotel on the main road, because the old town lanes cannot take a bus. Fuel goes in at the same time. History students can note Nagapuri, a fort on Hirekal hill some 11 km north of town, though it is not on today's route. Forty minutes covers breakfast and a careful head count. Beyond Arsikere, NH69 runs for about 85 km to Bhadravathi through quiet farm country.
Tea
Bhadravathi, 230 km from Mysore, is a twenty minute tea halt. The coach parks on the main road. Teachers can point out the VISL steel plant, earlier Mysore Iron and Steel, and the paper mill. The town's Lakshmi Narasimha temple of about 1250 is a Hoysala work with three shrines. Shivamogga is 20 km on. Leaders can walk the group to the washrooms in two batches to keep the halt short.
Lunch
Shivamogga, also known as Shimoga, is the lunch halt at 250 km. Several hotels in this large city can seat a full coach. Keep fifty minutes for lunch. The city lies on the Tunga, and the cool, clear months here run from October to March. Sagar is about 75 km on, and Banavasi about 120 km. After lunch the coach climbs gently into greener country, and students can watch the areca gardens begin.
Tea
Sagar, 325 km out, is the afternoon tea halt for the coach, on the main road. Sagara Jambagaru station has express trains to Mysuru, useful if any member returns by rail. The town's sandalwood carvers, the Gudigar families, sell small pieces. Twenty minutes, then the coach heads north for Sorab and Banavasi. Leaders should check that every student has water before the coach leaves, and that the spice buyers are back on board on time.
Tea
Sorab, 350 km from Mysore, is the coach's final halt before Banavasi. The driver stops on the main road near the tea stalls and washrooms. Chandragutti, a hill temple about 15 km away, is not on this plan. With a big group, the leaders should now announce the meeting point at Banavasi and a fixed time to be back at the coach, so nobody is left looking for the others in the village. The last 20 km pass through farm country.
Bus parking and drop
The coach reaches Banavasi about nine hours after Mysore. It drops the group near the temple and waits at a proper parking spot, since the village lanes are narrow. Malnad meals are available in the village for a group that books ahead. For a night halt, Sirsi, about 24 km away, has hotels for a group this size. Dress modestly at the temple. Leaders should count heads at the drop and again before the coach leaves the village.

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.

About 370 km from Mysore to Banavasi by road, so about 740 km for the round trip. The bus runs via Channarayapatna, Arsikere, Bhadravathi and Shivamogga (Shimoga), then Sagar and Sorab. A full bus needs about 9 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts.
Leave by 4:30 am. A bus loses time in city traffic, so early is better. With the halts on this page you reach Banavasi in about 9 hours.
On request, yes. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
They are extra. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
Take the 45 seater, or the 49 or 50 seater for lots of bags. The full size list is on bus on rent in Mysore.
If the Banavasi bus drives after 10 pm, a night allowance to the driver is charged. The amount is on the bus rental page and in your quote. On our Mysore card that is ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night.
October to March. The weather is cool and dry, and a group can walk around the village in comfort. The monsoon from June to early October brings heavy rain to Shivamogga and Uttara Kannada, and the coach moves slower on wet roads. Summer afternoons are hot.
Big bags go in the hold, each with a name tag, and only small bags come inside the coach. For a two day trip one medium bag each is enough. Keep water, medicines and a light layer in the hand bag, since the hold opens only at the hotel.
