Coach pickup
Board the bus at one wide place, perhaps a school ground near the start of the T Narasipura road, so the coach does not have to enter the old city. It then heads south east on that road. Two hours or a little more brings a full bus to the hill. The forest gate shuts at six in the evening, so the group has to start down by mid afternoon. Group leaders should carry the roll call sheet and a first aid kit.

Breakfast for the coach
T Narasipura is the breakfast stop for the bus, about 30 km out. Thirty minutes is tight for fifty, so call the order ahead. The town sits at the Kaveri and Kapila confluence, and both the Gunja Narasimha and the older Agasthyeshwara temples are close to the river. In a Kumbh Mela year, held in February, the town fills with pilgrims and a coach may need to stop outside. Yelandur is around 35 km on.

Tea halt
Fifteen minutes at Yelandur gives fifty people tea and the restrooms before the forest. The town sits between Kollegal and Chamarajanagar, and its Gaurishvara temple, built around 1550, keeps a set of carved stone chains, each one cut from a single block. The ghat from here, about 18 km, is the shorter way up. The next shops are only at the top of the hill, so fill the water cans now and count heads before boarding.

Check post
The coach halts at Gumballi, where the guards at the forest barrier check the vehicle and the group size. This is the edge of the BRT tiger reserve, and traffic is kept off its roads all night, from six in the evening to six in the morning. Above the gate the road winds about 20 km through the reserve, and the coach makes no halts on the way up. Keep students seated and the windows half closed against dust.

Coach drop
After roughly two hours the bus parks at the top, close to the temple, and fifty people step out into cooler air. The darshan hall shuts in the afternoon for about two hours, from two to four, and the April festival makes the hill very crowded. Fix one meeting point at the bus and one time to board. Allow enough time on the way down to pass the check post before the gate closes.

Yes, buses go up. The driver takes the hairpins slowly in low gear.
October to February, when the ghat is dry and the top is cool and clear. The monsoon makes the climb slower and misty. April brings the temple festival and heavy crowds. In every month the forest road closes from 6 pm to 6 am, so the bus plans the day in daylight.
Split them into groups of ten, each with a teacher. Give one meeting point near the bus and one return time. The temple pauses at midday, so plan the visit around that. Carry water and snacks, since food at the top is limited for a big group. Do a head count at the top and again at Gumballi.
