Group pickup
The mini bus picks up the group at one place in Mysuru, a school gate, the bus stand or a lodge, at 6:30. Using the outer ring road, about 41.5 km round the city, the bus reaches the expressway without the centre. Seat teachers at the front and the back. The park is about 165 km away, around four hours with breakfast. Each child needs a water bottle and a cap. Srirangapatna is the first town, 15 km away.

Drive past
Srirangapatna is 15 km out. Scott's Bungalow and the Garrison Cemetery stand about 300 m off the highway, and the Ranganathaswamy temple a little more; all are better for a Mysore history trip. On this day the mini bus crosses the island and pays the expressway toll at Gananguru. Keep the children seated; there is a long run to breakfast at Ramanagara, about 80 km ahead, with a short break at Mandya.

Short break
Mandya, 45 km from Mysore, is a five minute halt for the restroom. The town is the centre of the sugar belt, and its jaggery is the district's own product. Children can see cane fields from the road. If farmers have called a bandh, the highway near Mandya can be blocked, so the school checks the news the day before. Ramanagara, where the group eats, is 50 km ahead on the expressway.

Breakfast
Ramanagara, about 95 km out, is the breakfast stop. A group of twenty needs twenty five minutes; ask the hotel to serve idli and vada together. The hills around are granite, and the town gave its old name, Closepet, to the rock. Janapada Loka, the folk art museum with masks and puppets, is on the highway near here, a good school trip for another day. From Ramanagara it is about 35 km to Kengeri.

NICE Road
At Kengeri the mini bus leaves the expressway for NICE Road, which runs round the south west of the city. It is tolled, but it avoids Nayandahalli, the choke point of Mysore Road, and the city signals. The Bannerghatta Road exit is about thirty minutes on. A mosque on the highway opposite the old Kengeri bus stand is the landmark if a second group is joining here. Teachers can do a head count now; the park is about 35 km ahead.

Park gate
The mini bus drops the children at the main gate and parks in the lot. Tickets for the safari and entry are sold at the counter; the school leader can buy them together. A canteen near the gate serves lunch, or the group can eat packed food. The park is closed on Tuesdays, and the safari runs at set times, so check them on arrival. Keep the children in their small groups and fix a meeting point near the bus.
Need a Mysore to Bannerghatta National Park mini bus for a tuition class, an apartment group or 20 cousins? It is a comfortable day out on the expressway, with the safari and zoo at the end. We pick up from the Mysuru railway station, a hotel near the palace or two homes. Ask for mini bus on rent in Mysore.

Bannerghatta is about 165 km from Mysore, about 330 km there and back. The mini bus takes the expressway to Kengeri and then NICE Road to the Bannerghatta Road exit. With breakfast and a short break, it takes about 4 hours each way.
A short stop like Lalbagh fits on the return if you leave the park by 2 pm.
Driving late at night means a night allowance for the driver. You see it in the quote first. Rate card figure: ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Bannerghatta one way: yes, on request. The drop is priced at the return rate plus ₹2 a km, and you get it on paper.
Those are separate. The 20 seater costs ₹11,920 for one day, 330 km, and the driver bata is ₹700. Then parking, tolls and GST at cost.

It can slow it. The northeast monsoon reaches Karnataka around October, and heavy evening rain often jams city roads near the park. The safari and zoo go on in light rain. We plan an early start in October and November, so the group finishes the park by mid afternoon and is back on the expressway before the evening showers.
Keep the stops few, with a five minute break at Mandya, breakfast at Ramanagara, then straight to the gate. At each halt one teacher leads and one counts at the bus door. At the park, split the children into small groups with a teacher each, and fix a meeting point near the mini bus before anyone goes in.
