Pickup for the group
We start from the home or hotel you choose, and a second pickup is fine if it lies towards the T Narasipura road. The tempo traveller leaves Mysore south east by that road, which joins the outer ring road, so the city centre is avoided. BR Hills is about 90 km, around two hours with a halt. The forest gate closes at 6 pm, so plan the return from the top by mid afternoon. Carry warm layers for the children.
Breakfast by the river
T Narasipura makes a good breakfast halt for the tempo traveller, about 30 km into the drive. A dozen people need twenty five minutes. The town stands where the Kaveri and the Kapila meet, and the Agasthyeshwara temple here is older than the better known Gunja Narasimha shrine nearby. Rice is the main crop of the taluk and silk the cash crop. From here Yelandur is around 35 km, and the hills come soon after.
Tea before the ghat
Yelandur lies between Kollegal and Chamarajanagar and is the quick way up to BR Hills. Ten minutes here gives the group tea and a restroom before the forest. The Gaurishvara temple, a protected monument of about 1550, has stone chains cut from single pieces of rock, worth a look if time allows. The two entries to the hills, Yelandur and Chamarajanagar, are about 40 km apart, and this one has the shorter ghat.
Check post
A short pause at Gumballi lets the forest guards log the tempo traveller in their register. Think of this barrier as the clock for the whole day, because traffic is kept off the reserve roads overnight, from six in the evening until six the next morning. Beyond the gate the road twists up for about 20 km under tall trees. Children should keep their hands inside the windows, and nobody steps out for photos until the top.
Drop at the top
Your group steps out at the hill top roughly two hours after leaving home, with the van parked a short walk from the shrine of Biligiri Ranganatha Swamy. The settlement sits around 1,500 m up. Priests may tell you about the Soliga people of these hills, who offer a leather slipper to the deity every second year. Darshan pauses in the afternoon, approximately between two and four. Head down early enough to clear the forest by six.

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 drive from Mysore to BR Hills is about 90 km, or about 180 km for the return trip. The tempo traveller goes by the T Narasipura road through Yelandur and up the ghat from Gumballi. Allow about two hours each way, with a breakfast halt.
No. Tolls, parking, permits and GST are added at actual cost.
The 16 seater. Everyone gets a window or aisle seat. See every size on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
On request, yes. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
If the return runs late at night, the driver gets a night allowance. It is ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night for the tempo traveller.
Yes. The temple, the views and the K Gudi safari make a full day.
Yes, the ghat stays open, but it is wet and slow, and mist can cut the views at the top. The forest rule does not change with the season; vehicles must be off the forest roads from 6 pm to 6 am. In the rains we start earlier so the tempo traveller has extra time on the climb and on the way down.
Most can. The climb from Yelandur is about 18 km of bends, the shorter way up. Give children a light breakfast, keep a window open and carry a sick bag just in case. The driver keeps a steady, slow pace on the ghat. At the top it is cooler, so a sweater for each child is useful.
