Group pickup
Fix one meeting point for the mini bus on the south east side of the city, where the T Narasipura road begins. On Vijayadashami, vehicles coming in by this road have been barred from entering Mysore from 6 am to midnight, so do not plan the return on that day. BR Hills is about 90 km, around two hours for a mini bus. The forest closes at 6 pm, so the group must start down from the top by mid afternoon.
Group breakfast
T Narasipura, about 30 km out, is the breakfast halt for twenty. Half an hour covers the meal and the restrooms if the order goes in early. The Gunja Narasimha temple at the river confluence has a tall gopura and dates from the Vijayanagara period. Students may like to know that neolithic sites were dug up near the Bhiksheswara temple across the river between 1959 and 1965. From here Yelandur is around 35 km away, through rice and mulberry country.
Last tea halt
Yelandur, a taluk town in Chamarajanagar district, is the final halt before the forest. Fifteen minutes lets twenty people use the restrooms and have tea. The Gaurishvara temple here, a protected monument, is famous for the stone chains hanging in its mantapa. From Yelandur the climb is about 18 km to the top, while the other approach, from Chamarajanagar, starts some 40 km away. Buy water here, since the hill has little for a group.
Check post
At Gumballi the mini bus waits a few minutes while the guards check the papers. This post marks the start of the BRT tiger reserve, and its gate shuts at six in the evening, so the return has to be timed around it. The road ahead climbs for about 20 km, with no stopping for photos on the way. Leaders should do a head count now, as the next time the door opens is at the temple car park.
Group drop
Two hours or so after setting off, the mini bus pulls into the parking below the temple. The hill top is around 1,500 m and the breeze is cool even in summer. Morning darshan avoids the afternoon closure, which usually runs from two to four. Every April the temple festival packs the hill with devotees. Give everyone one meeting point, and leave the top in time to pass Gumballi before six.
Taking 20 people on a Mysore to BR Hills mini bus for a forest day and the hill temple? It is the right size for the narrow ghat. Ask for mini bus on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

By road BR Hills is about 90 km from Mysore, so about 180 km for the round trip. The mini bus takes the T Narasipura road through T Narasipura and Yelandur and climbs from Gumballi. A mini bus needs about two hours each way, including a breakfast halt.
On the 90 km road to BR Hills, parking, tolls, permits and GST are added at actuals.
Yes. Book with the forest department before the trip; slots are limited.
BR Hills: the 20 seater, one seat spare. All sizes are on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
A one way drop to BR Hills is quoted on request, ₹2 a km above the return rate.
If the BR Hills mini bus runs past 10 pm, the night allowance is ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
Yes, the ghat is open in the monsoon, but it is wet and visibility drops in mist, so the mini bus goes slowly. The forest gate still closes at 6 pm in every season. We leave Mysore earlier in the rains so there is time in hand. The dry months from October to February are the easiest.
Only if rooms are booked in advance. Vehicles cannot use the forest roads between 6 pm and 6 am, so a group that stays the night must reach the top before 6 pm and leave after 6 am. For a day trip, start down by mid afternoon. Carry warm clothes either way, since the top is cool.
