Pickup for the group
We can collect you from a house in any Mysuru layout, a hotel by the palace, the station, the bus stand or the Mandakalli airport; for a tempo traveller we keep it to one or two points. Mysore's outer ring road meets the Nanjangud road as well as the Hunsur, Bogadi and Bannur roads, so the van reaches NH766 without crossing the centre. Load the bags behind the last row before everyone sits. Chamarajanagar is about 60 km, roughly an hour, so a 7:30 start gets you there with the whole morning free. Elders who want darshan can pause at Nanjangud first.

Temple halt
Twenty five km out, Nanjangud is a good first halt for a family van. The gopuram of the Srikanteshwara temple, about 120 ft tall and built in 1845, is visible as you come into town, and the complex is one of the largest in Karnataka, so walking round takes time; keep 30 to 40 minutes. The van drops elders near the gate and parks close by. Darshan hours run roughly 6 am to 1 pm and 4 pm to 8:30 pm. Ask at the fruit stalls for rasabale bananas. From here the road turns towards Chamarajanagar.

Drive on
Badanavalu is 35 km from Mysore and only 10 km past the temple town, so the tempo traveller rolls through without stopping. The village has tea stalls and no hotel worth a group halt. It is known for an old khadi centre beside the road, worth a slow pass if the group is curious. The stretch is flat farmland and easy on anyone who felt the city traffic. Keep the snack bag up front for the children; the next proper restrooms are at Chamarajanagar, around 25 km ahead. Luggage stays packed till the drop.

Drive on
At Badanaguppe the road passes an industrial area, 50 km from Mysore and the last place before the district town. There is nothing here for a family to see, and the tea stalls by the highway are the only food, so the van drives straight on. If you are booked into a stay in town, now is the time to call the hotel so the rooms are ready for the group. Chamarajanagar is about 10 km on. For a longer day, the Suvarnavathi dam lies about 16 km beyond the town and suits a family picnic.

Group drop
The tempo traveller drops the group at your hotel, the temple or a function hall, as close as the lane allows. Chamarajanagar is a quiet district town, the headquarters of the southernmost district of Karnataka, and traffic is light after Mysore. Meals in town are plain Karnataka food, with ragi mudde on most menus. The town has a railway station on the Mysore line, useful if one person has to return early. For a short outing, the Gaurishvara temple at Yelandur, with its stone chains, is about 20 km on the Kollegal side.

About 60 km one way from Mysore, or about 120 km for the return trip. The tempo traveller takes NH766 to Nanjangud, then the Chamarajanagar road through Badanavalu and Badanaguppe. Driving time is about an hour, and most families add a temple halt at Nanjangud on the way out.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. You see it in the quote first. On our Mysore card that is ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Sure. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
No. Tolls, parking and GST are extra at actual cost. Out of state, the permit is extra too.
Chamarajanagar: the 16 seater, and big suitcases go on the spare seats. It works out to ₹10,200 for 300 km at ₹32/km, with ₹600 driver bata. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
No. The tempo traveller waits below. Private vehicles stop at the foot and the forest department bus takes visitors up.
Yes. The Pancha Maha Rathotsava, when five chariots are pulled through Nanjangud, falls in spring, around March or April, and lakhs of devotees come. The Dodda Jathre also draws big crowds. On those days the temple streets are closed to vans and the queue is long, so we either skip the halt or leave Mysore much earlier. Tell us your date and we check it.
Yes. The tempo traveller drops elders close to the temple gate and waits nearby, so the walk is short. The complex is large, so they can sit inside while others go round. Ask everyone to dress modestly. If the queue is long, elders can rest in the van with the AC on, and we still reach Chamarajanagar in good time.
