Pickup at your door
The car picks you up at home, a lodge or the station in Mysuru at 7. Check the date first, because the park at Bannerghatta is closed on Tuesdays, just like the Mysore zoo and Karanji lake, so never book this trip for a Tuesday. The drive is about 165 km, roughly 3.5 to 4 hours, and arriving by mid morning leaves time for the safari queue. The car heads up the expressway; Srirangapatna is the first town, 15 km away, and breakfast comes at Ramanagara.
Drive past
Srirangapatna slips by 15 km after the pickup. The island town has Tipu Sultan's Daria Daulat Bagh, the teak summer palace with painted walls, about a kilometre off the expressway, but it shuts around 5 pm, so it rarely fits a park day. Children who enjoyed the safari may like it on a separate Mysore weekend instead. The car pays the first expressway toll near the island and runs on. Mandya, 30 km ahead, is the next place where a short break is possible.
Optional halt
Mandya, about 45 km out, is cane country, and a cab can stop for five minutes at a juice stall if the children are thirsty. Ask for the juice pressed fresh with a little ginger and lime. The town lies beside the expressway, so the driver uses the service road for the halt. The Thirumala Sagar lake is some 6 km off and the Kikkeri temple a little further, both outside today's plan. From here Ramanagara and breakfast are 50 km away.
Breakfast
Ramanagara, about 95 km from Mysore, is the breakfast halt for this trip. Idli and coffee at a highway hotel take fifteen minutes for a family. The rocky ridges all around are the Sholay hills, and the town also runs a giant silk cocoon market each morning. Ramadevara Betta, with its temple and vulture sanctuary, lies a few kilometres off, but keep it for another day. The park is still about 70 km ahead, and the last part goes round the city, so do not linger.
Ring road turn
Kengeri is where the expressway ends and the city starts, near Rajarajeshwari Medical College, a known bottleneck. Here the car turns onto NICE Road, a tolled ring road round the south west of the city, which avoids the slow Nayandahalli junction and the centre. Expect about half an hour to the Bannerghatta Road exit. Kengeri once had a fort Tipu Sultan is said to have used, and the area is still called Kengeri Kote. No stop here; keep moving to the gate.
Gate drop
The cab drops you at the park gate and then waits in the parking lot, so bags and spare clothes can stay inside. Buy safari tickets at the counter near the entrance; check the safari timings on the day, as they change. There is a canteen near the gate for a simple lunch. The park is closed on Tuesdays. Carry water and caps, since much of the walk is in the open. When you are done, call the driver and he brings the car to the gate.

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.

Bannerghatta National Park is about 165 km from Mysore, so about 330 km for the day trip. The cab takes the expressway past Srirangapatna, Mandya and Ramanagara to Kengeri, then NICE Road round the city to Bannerghatta Road. By cab it takes about 3.5 to 4 hours with a breakfast stop.
Innova Crysta. All cars on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. Lalbagh or a mall fits along the way back. City km are added at the same rate.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. That comes to ₹400 a night.
No. Driver allowance, parking, tolls and GST are extra at actual. One day, 330 km: Dzire ₹4,360 Etios ₹5,020 Innova ₹6,340 Crysta ₹7,000.
Yes, quoted when you ask. One way is ₹2 more per km than a return, and the km and allowance come in writing.
The expressway itself moves well. The slow part is where it ends at Kengeri, and the old Mysore Road through Nayandahalli beyond it. We avoid both by taking NICE Road, a tolled ring road round the south west of the city, which brings the cab to Bannerghatta Road in about half an hour. Weekday evenings are the slowest, so plan to leave the park by 4.
Yes, with a breakfast halt at Ramanagara the drive is about 3.5 to 4 hours, and the car can stop at Mandya for the restroom. The park day involves walking in the open, so carry caps, water and snacks; the canteen near the gate is simple. The car waits in the lot, so a tired child can rest there with a parent.
