Group pickup
For a mini bus we collect the group at one meeting point, say the railway station or the bus stand, plus at most one hotel near the palace. Twenty people with bags load in a few minutes. Avoid Dasara days in September or October if you can, because crowds and traffic diversions slow every road out of Mysore. On a normal day the bus takes the ring road to Hinkal and the Hunsur road west. Leave by 8; Bylakuppe is about two hours away for a mini bus, with breakfast at Hunsur.
Drive on
Bilikere, a small town of Hunsur taluk about 25 km from Mysore, marks the end of the four lane NH275 stretch west of the city. Through traffic is heavy up to the SH57 turn here, so the driver takes it steady. The Gommatagiri Jain hill lies in Bilikere hobli, and once a year its Mahamastakabhisheka draws large crowds; if your date matches, expect slow traffic near the turn. There is no reason to stop this early with twenty people on board. Hunsur, about 20 km on, is our first halt.
Breakfast
Hunsur is a quiet town with cheap hotels, which suits a mini bus group: twenty can finish breakfast in about 25 minutes if one or two people order for the table. It is 45 km from Mysore, on the Lakshmana Tirtha. Tobacco is grown and auctioned all round, and the tobacco board platform at Kattemalalavadi is about 5 km away. The Veeranahosahalli route into Nagarhole also starts here. From Hunsur, Bylakuppe is around 40 km, so the next sitting is under an hour.
Tea halt
Periyapatna gives a mini bus group one more short halt, ten minutes of tea, about 75 km from Mysore. It is the last Mysore district taluk town, and Kodagu begins a little ahead. Climbers in the group may ask about Bettadapura, the hill 10 to 15 km north with the Mallikarjuna temple and around 3,000 steps; it is too long for this day. Bylakuppe sits within Periyapatna taluk, about 10 km on, so this is the last stop before the monastery and a good time for a head count.
Monastery parking
The mini bus parks near the Golden Temple at Camp 4, about two hours after leaving Mysore. Twenty people move better in two small groups with one meeting time, because the monasteries spread over a large compound. The temple is open from about 7 or 9 am to 6 pm. Lunch can be momos and thukpa at the Tibetan eateries, or the simple meal the monks serve at about 11:30. Go round the stupas in a clockwise direction, as the Tibetan custom goes.
Need a Mysore to Bylakuppe Golden Temple mini bus for a family pilgrimage of 15 to 25? Our mini bus takes your group in one go, with pickup at the city bus stand or hotels on JLB Road and Nazarbad. You may see the Golden Temple signed as Namdroling Monastery. Any address in Mysuru works for pickup. We have run mini bus on rent in Mysore since 2009.

By road, Bylakuppe Golden Temple is about 85 km from Mysore, about 170 km for the round trip. The mini bus goes out on the Hunsur road, NH275, past Bilikere, Hunsur and Periyapatna. Plan on about two hours each way with breakfast at Hunsur and a tea halt at Periyapatna, so a day trip leaves four or five hours at the camp.
They are extra. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
Bylakuppe: the 25 seater, with room for luggage. Here it works out to ₹11,500 for 300 km at ₹36/km, and ₹700 driver's allowance. Each size and rate is on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
A night allowance is charged only for late night driving. The night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Yes, on request. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
Yes. Nisargadhama is roughly 10 km on and Dubare around 20 km. The mini bus stays inside the 300 km day.
It works, with a plan. Mysore's summer runs from March to May, and the middle of the day is hot for walking round the open monastery grounds. Start early, see the Golden Temple in the morning, and keep lunch and the shaded halls for the hot hours. Carry water for everyone; the mini bus can keep a few cases on board.
Bylakuppe is a big settlement, and the Sera monasteries alone have almost 5,000 monks, so the crowd of red robes looks alike to children. Give each child an adult, fix the mini bus as the meeting point, and tell them the parking spot by name. Most children enjoy the prayer wheels; teach them to turn the wheels clockwise before you go in.
