Early pickup
A tempo traveller for nine to twenty people leaves Mysore for Bekal at about 5:15. We collect from one or two meeting points, say a hotel near the palace and the suburban bus stand, and load the beach bags at the back first. The van loops round the city on the ring road, about 41.5 km long, and takes the Hunsur road west. Four and a half hours with halts puts the group at the coast by early afternoon.
Tea halt
Hunsur, 45 km out, is the first stop for the van, fifteen minutes for tea and the restroom. Its hotels are basic and inexpensive and open early for travellers. Tobacco is the town's crop, and growers send it to an auction yard at Kattemalalavadi, about 5 km away. The van stays on NH275 after the halt; breakfast is planned at Kushalnagar, another 45 km. Restrooms here are basic but clean enough for a quick stop.
Breakfast
The tempo traveller stops for breakfast at Kushalnagar, close to 90 km out. Twelve to fifteen people finish vegetarian plates in about 25 minutes, and by noon the town's kitchens switch to Kerala style fish and meat. With no railway, the town relies on buses, and its stand is crowded with services to Mangalore and Kerala. Harangi dam is 6 to 9 km away at Hudgur, fullest just after the rains. Madikeri is about 30 km ahead.
Tea and fuel
Madikeri, about 120 km from Mysore, gets fifteen minutes for tea and fuel before the van starts down. The town sits at about 1,170 m, and Kodagu came under British rule in 1834. Coffee powder, honey, pepper and cardamom are the buys if the group has a minute. Below, the Sampaje ghat is the first road watched in a heavy monsoon; Kodagu has banned heavy vehicles on its ghats during red alerts, and we check before July trips.
Ghat descent
The van passes Sampaje, about 150 km from Mysore, without stopping. It is the border village between Kodagu and Dakshina Kannada, and a village of the same name sits across the line. Kodava, Tulu, Kannada and Are Bhashe are all spoken here. In the monsoon, goods vehicle checkposts stand here; a sudden closure in 2024 left traffic queued for hours. Sullia, at the foot of the ghat, is about 20 km on.
Lunch
Sullia, roughly 170 km out, is the van's lunch halt. The government and private bus stands sit together in the town centre, and the driver parks near them. Coastal rice meals come quickly, and kadubu or jackfruit dumplings show up when in season. Sullia has no railway; Subrahmanya Road station is about 48 km away. After lunch the tempo traveller heads for the Kerala coast, about an hour and a half more.
Stay drop
About four and a half hours from Mysore, the tempo traveller reaches Bekal and parks close to your stay, many of which are near the beach. Appam with fish or egg curry is the local dinner, and vegetarian food is easy to find. The van parks close to the fort gate when you visit, so plan the fort for early the next morning before the sun is high. The Kerala permit for tourist vehicles is billed at cost.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

The Mysore to Bekal distance is about 230 km one way; a return trip runs near 460 km. A tempo traveller needs about four and a half hours with tea, breakfast and lunch. It follows NH275 by Hunsur, Kushalnagar and Madikeri, the ghat down to Sullia, and the road to the Kerala coast.
No, unless our driver has to drive through the night. Then the night allowance is in the quote. Night bata: ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Tolls, parking, GST and the Kerala vehicle permit.
Yes. A night in Madikeri makes it three days.
On request, yes. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
The 16 or 17 seater. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
From November to February. The rains are over, the Sampaje ghat is dry, and the coast is warm by day and pleasant in the evening; Mangalore, up the coast, keeps December to February days under about 34 C. From June to September, heavy rain in Kodagu slows the ghat and beach visits are often washed out.
Fifteen people can bring one medium bag each at the back, with small bags under the seats. Beach days mean damp clothes on the return, so carry a plastic sack for them. A cabin bag with water, snacks and medicines helps on the ghat, where the van keeps moving.
