Group pickup
Pilgrim mini buses to Bhagamandala leave Mysore at about 6:30 from a single gathering point, usually the KSRTC suburban stand near Irwin Road. Fourteen to twenty five people with puja bags settle in quickly if all arrive on time. Lunch is planned in Madikeri, and the drive totals about three and a half hours with halts. Along the way most people speak Kannada, handy for groups from other states. The bus heads west on the Hunsur road after the ring road.

Breakfast
Breakfast for twenty happens in Hunsur, 45 km from Mysore, where cheap hotels work fast; put the orders in together and 25 minutes is enough. This is tobacco country, and growers send their leaf to an auction yard at Kattemalalavadi, roughly 5 km off the highway. The roads towards HD Kote and the Nagarhole forest start in Hunsur too, but the mini bus keeps to NH275 for Kodagu. Ask everyone to fill water bottles, as the next real halt is in an hour.

Drive on
The mini bus passes Periyapatna, about 75 km from Mysore, without stopping. It is the final town of Mysore district, and Kodagu starts a few minutes later. A long staircase of about 3,000 steps climbs Bettadapura hill, 10 to 15 km north, which the group can skip. For the drive back, the Golden Temple at Bylakuppe, inside this taluk, makes a calm evening stop if the day has gone to plan. Kushalnagar comes next, about 15 km ahead.

Tea halt
Kushalnagar, at around 90 km, gives the mini bus group fifteen minutes for tea and the restroom. Three sides of the town are bounded by the Kaveri, and the group will see the river's birthplace later today at Talakaveri. Because the highway through the centre is being widened, the driver parks on a quieter lane. Coffee and spices sell in the town shops, so buyers can shop now or on the way home. Madikeri is about 30 km on.

Lunch
Madikeri is the lunch halt, about 120 km from Mysore. A single hotel for the twenty keeps it to 45 minutes. Kodava food such as kadambuttu with a curry suits meat eaters, and vegetarian meals are easy to find. Coorg Arabica coffee carries a GI tag, so coffee powder is the usual buy here. From Madikeri, Bhagamandala is 33 to 39 km on a narrower hill road through estates, and the mini bus takes it slowly, with a window seat for anyone who feels queasy.

Temple town drop
About three and a half hours from Mysore, the mini bus pulls into Bhagamandala. Devotees take their dip here before the 8 km climb to Talacauvery. At midday the temple serves a free vegetarian meal of rice, sambar and buttermilk, simple food that suits a big group. A few minutes away by road is Padi Igguthappa, the chief shrine of the Kodava community. Around 17 or 18 October, Tula Sankramana packs the town, so pick other dates. The bus waits at the parking.
Taking 15 to 25 people on a Mysore to Bhagamandala mini bus for a pooja at the sangama? A mini bus is easier on the winding Coorg roads than a big bus, and it still carries the whole group. Ask for mini bus on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

A seat stays spare in the 20 seater for Bhagamandala. Every size is listed on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
November to March is the easy window, with dry roads and cool weather. The monsoon months bring very heavy rain; Bhagamandala often gets over 4,500 mm a year. Mid October has the Tula Sankramana festival, with huge crowds. Choose a date away from the festival if the group is large.
At the river, keep children close; in the rains the water rises quickly at the sangama. The drive is long, about three and a half hours, so pack snacks and water, and give car sick children a window seat for the hill road after Madikeri. The temple lunch is simple and mild, which suits most children.
