Group pickup
Twenty people board at 6:30 am at one meeting point in Mysuru. Groups seeing the city for the first time often plan Chamundi Hill for the day they return; halfway up the steps sits a huge Nandi, around 4.9 m tall, carved out of a single black granite boulder. Bags ride at the back, sweaters at the seats. The driver leaves on the Hunsur highway and branches north onto SH57 at Bilikere; Chikmagalur is about four hours away.

Tea halt
Twenty people take fifteen minutes for tea at KR Nagar, around 40 km from Mysore. A pilgrim group heading home with spare time can stop at the Lakshmana Tirtha temple, which stands among paddy fields roughly 5 km out on the Mysore road. The stalls near the state bus station pour tea fast enough for a crowd. Breakfast follows at Holenarasipura, about 45 km further along SH57, so a light snack is enough here.

Breakfast
At Holenarasipura, close to 85 km out, twenty people sit down to breakfast; the driver phones the hotel ahead, so ragi balls, akki rotti and kadubu arrive quickly with filter coffee. Heritage fans in the group may like to know about Mosale, a village roughly 14 km from Hassan with twin Hoysala temples, Nageshwara and Chennakeshava. Thirty five minutes covers breakfast and a roll call. Hassan lies some 35 km ahead.

Short halt
A fifteen minute halt at Hassan, near the 120 km mark, covers diesel and washrooms. October, at about 169 mm, and July are Hassan's wettest months, and the coffee hills further on get even more rain, so umbrellas belong at the seats in those months. Before the mini bus pulls out, the group leader counts heads. The road then leaves NH75 and heads north west to Belur, roughly 35 km away.

Temple stop
Belur, about 155 km from Mysore, gets a thirty minute stop at the Chennakeshava temple. Entry is free; twenty pairs of shoes go to the stand at the gate, and the mini bus waits on the side road. Settle on one meeting time before the group scatters inside. If anyone is hungry, small hotels round the temple serve simple Malnad meals. From Belur, Chikmagalur is roughly 25 km further. Socks help on hot stone.

Group drop
Four hours of driving, halts included, bring the mini bus to Chikmagalur, where it stops at the hotel gate or at the nearest point for estate stays down narrow lanes. Members leaving by train can use Chikmagalur station, which connects to Kadur Junction; for flights, Mangalore is the nearest international airport. Coffee powder and black pepper make the classic souvenirs. Nights in the hills are cool, so pack warm clothes.

Plan between October and March, when the hills stay cool and trekking paths are dry; January and February are driest of all. July, August and October carry the heaviest rain, and trails turn slippery then. Long weekends fill the town's stays quickly, so reserve early if the group is travelling on one.
Yes. From Chikmagalur through Belur and Hassan the highway is flat, and SH57 back to Mysore is a quiet road, about four hours in all. Leaving by 4 pm means the hill section is behind you in daylight and the group gets home near 8 pm, before most Mysore shops shut.
