Pickup at your door
Bhagamandala is a three hour run, so the cab comes for you at about 7, whether that is a house in Hebbal, a palace side hotel, Mysore Junction or the city bus stand. The driver avoids the centre and swings onto the Hunsur road at the Hinkal flyover. Breakfast can be in Mysore if you like: Mysore bonda with sambar and coconut chutney is a teatime favourite that many places also serve early, but Hunsur is only 45 km away.
Quick breakfast
Hunsur is the first halt, a quarter of an hour for idli or whatever the cheap town hotels have going that morning. Teak and tobacco built this small town on the Lakshmana Tirtha, and you will see timber yards along the way in. If a forest day interests you later in the trip, Hunsur is also the turn for the Veeranahosahalli and Nanachi gates of Nagarhole. Today the car stays on NH275 towards Kodagu; Bhagamandala lies about 110 km further on, beyond Madikeri, so fill the water bottles here.
Drive on
The car cruises through Periyapatna, the last taluk town of Mysore district, without stopping. Bylakuppe, a few km ahead within this taluk, has the Golden Temple; if you want it, the drive home is the better time, when the river and the temple at Bhagamandala are done and the afternoon is free. North of here, Bettadapura's climb of about 3,000 steps to a hill temple is a different kind of trip altogether. Kushalnagar is about 15 km away, and after it the hills begin.
Drive on
At Kushalnagar, about 90 km from Mysore, the car slows for town traffic and carries on; the road through the centre is being widened. If someone needs something, the shops sell spices, coffee and Ayurvedic oils, and the river here is the same Kaveri you will meet near its source. Dubare's elephant camp is about 15 km away on another road, not today. The climb to Madikeri starts soon after the town.
Lunch
Madikeri, about 120 km from Mysore, is the lunch stop before the last 35 km to Bhagamandala. The town stands at about 1,170 m. For a Kodava lunch, ask for pandi curry with akki otti; vegetarians do well with bamboo shoot curry when it is in season. Coffee powder and pepper make easy buys. The Bhagamandala road leaves town through coffee and forest, and it floods in the heaviest monsoon spells, so the driver checks before turning off.
Temple town drop
The cab reaches Bhagamandala about three hours after Mysore, at about 898 m in the hills. Talakaveri is only 8 km further up. The temple here gives a free vegetarian lunch of rice, sambar and buttermilk, a simple meal many visitors take after darshan. Padi Igguthappa, the main shrine of the Kodava people, is a short drive away if you want a second temple. Bhagamandala gets more rain than anywhere else in Kodagu most years, so umbrellas stay in the car.
Just a few of you, and want a Mysore to Bhagamandala cab for a pooja or a drive up to Talakaveri? A car with driver is the easy choice, and a Mysore to Bhagamandala taxi can stop at any coffee shop en route. See cab rental in Mysore through Tejas Tours & Travels.

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.

Bhagamandala is about 155 km from Mysore one way, about 310 km for a return trip. The cab follows NH275 through Hunsur, Periyapatna and Kushalnagar to Madikeri, then the Bhagamandala road for the last 35 km. Plan on about three hours by car with breakfast at Hunsur, and add time for lunch in Madikeri.
They are extra. You pay tolls, parking, permits and GST at actual, with receipts.
For Bhagamandala, a Dzire or Etios is enough. All sizes are on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. Leave Mysore by 7 am and you are back by evening.
Yes, that works. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
A night allowance is charged only for late night driving. The quote lists it. Expect ₹400 a night.
Tula Sankramana, on 17 or 18 October, brings huge crowds of pilgrims to Bhagamandala and Talakaveri, and the narrow roads fill up. If you go then, leave Mysore very early and expect slow traffic after Madikeri. On ordinary weekdays outside the festival, the temple town is quiet and the cab can park close.
We advise leaving Bhagamandala by about 3 pm. The road to Madikeri is narrow, and Kodagu roads have unmarked speed breakers, lorries and animals crossing after dark. A three hour drive home in daylight is far easier. If the family wants evening prayers, a night in Madikeri and a morning start back is the better plan.
