Pickup in Mysore
Our tempo traveller collects the group from one or two points in Mysore: a home, a hotel near the palace, the railway station or the bus stand. Twelve or fourteen people with day bags fit easily, and the van leaves the city by the ring road and the Hunsur road. Mysore pak, the ghee rich gram flour sweet sold all over the city, travels well, so a box for the van is a good idea. Start by about 8. The Golden Temple is roughly an hour and a half away, and the morning is cooler for elders walking round the camp.
Drive on
Bilikere, about 25 km out and some 21 km short of Hunsur, is where SH57 for KR Nagar and Hassan leaves the main road under a large board across the highway. Drivers new to this road miss the turn, but ours does not need it today; the van stays on the Hunsur road. Traffic is heaviest up to this junction and eases after it. A roadside tea is possible, though most groups save the first break for Hunsur. Gommatagiri, the small Jain hill nearby, suits a separate half day.
Quick breakfast
Hunsur, a quiet town with plain, cheap hotels, is the breakfast stop for a van group, about 45 km into the trip. Twenty minutes covers a quick meal and the restroom for a dozen people. The town sits at about 800 m on the Lakshmana Tirtha river and is known for its teak. The Nagarhole forest office of the Deputy Conservator of Forests is in Hunsur as well, so if the group wants a safari on another day, this is where the permits start. Bylakuppe is about 40 km on.
Drive on
Periyapatna is the last taluk town of Mysore district before the road enters Kodagu, and the Bylakuppe settlement lies within this taluk. The tempo traveller can pull over on the main road for five minutes if anyone needs a break; otherwise the driver carries on. The old town was ruined in Tipu Sultan's time, and many of its families moved away to Virajpet. From here the monastery gate is only about 10 km off, so tell the group to get shoes and bags ready for a quick exit.
Monastery parking
The van parks near the Golden Temple at Camp 4, roughly an hour and a half after Mysore. The settlement was set up by Tibetan refugees after 1959 and is said to be the largest in south India, so expect several camps spread over a wide area. Autos are scarce here, which is why the tempo traveller stays with the group between camps. For lunch, Tibetan cafes nearby serve momos and thukpa, and visitors may also join the monks' simple meal at about 11:30. Remind everyone to walk clockwise round the stupas.

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. 👍

Bylakuppe Golden Temple is about 85 km from Mysore by road, so plan on about 170 km there and back. The tempo traveller leaves by the Hunsur road (NH275) and goes through Bilikere, Hunsur and Periyapatna. With one breakfast halt the drive takes about an hour and a half, and the day trip leaves plenty of time at the monasteries.
On request, yes. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
Bylakuppe: the 16 seater; spare seats take the big suitcases. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore. Bylakuppe comes to ₹10,200 for 300 km at ₹32/km, and ₹600 driver bata.
A night allowance for the driver applies only if the drive runs late into the night. You see it in the quote first. Expect ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
No. Out of state, the permit is extra too. Bylakuppe: GST, tolls and parking are extra at the real cost.
In most areas, yes. Ask at the hall; some rooms do not allow it. Bags can stay in the tempo traveller.
Not usually. The heavy rain is further west in Kodagu: Madikeri gets most of its yearly rain in June, July and August. Around Bylakuppe expect showers rather than closures, but in a very heavy monsoon the Harangi dam gates near Kushalnagar have flooded low areas of that town. Carry umbrellas and a dry pair of footwear, as shoes come off often at the shrines.
Yes, but we prefer to leave Bylakuppe by about 5 pm. The camp quietens early, with the monks' dinner at about 5:30, and the road home passes lorries and village stretches with speed breakers that are hard to see at night. Leaving in daylight gets the group to Mysore before the city's shops and restaurants close, which happens before 10 pm.
