One gate pickup
The bus picks up your group of 40 or 50 from one gate: a school, a college, a hall or a hotel in Mysuru. A full bus cannot use the Town Hall parking near the palace, which takes cars only, so pick a gate with room to stand. We leave at 5:30, stay on NH275 till the Pandavapura turn and then head north. Big bags go in the hold, water and snacks inside. Chitradurga is 250 km away, about 6 hours with halts.

No stop
Srirangapatna is only 15 km from the start, so the bus does not stop here on the way out. The island town is crowded early with temple traffic, and parking a 45 seater near the fort walls takes time. If your school tour wants Tipu Sultan's history, plan it on the return: Daria Daulat Bagh opens around 9 and closes by 5, and the Gumbaz by about 6 pm. The bus can park on the bypass while the group walks in.

Tea and fuel
KR Pet is 55 km out, and a ten minute tea and fuel halt on the main road suits a bus. Avoid Mondays if you can, as the coconut market draws carts and trucks into the town. For a heritage group, the Hosaholalu temple, about 2 km west on the Bherya road, is a three shrine soapstone temple on a raised platform, small enough for a quick group visit on the return. The next proper halt is breakfast at Channarayapatna, 30 km on.

Breakfast for a full bus
Channarayapatna sits right on NH75, 85 km from Mysore, and the larger hotels on the highway have space to park a 45 seater and serve 40 people in one sitting. Keep forty minutes, including the head count. The road here is tolled; the Kadabahalli plaza collects on the Devihalli to Hassan stretch, and a valid FASTag keeps the bus moving. From here the bus leaves the highway for Arsikere, 60 km on.

Tea and tender coconut
Arsikere, 145 km out, is coconut country, and tender coconut stalls by the road can serve a busload quickly. The town has two Hoysala buildings of 1220, the Ishvara temple and the Sahasrakuta Jinalaya, but the narrow town roads are slow for a big bus, so we stop on the main road where it can pull over without blocking traffic. NH73 and NH69 both pass through. Fifteen minutes for the group, a quick head count, then on to Hosadurga, 45 km ahead.

Small town
Hosadurga, 190 km out, is a taluk town with a state bus depot and a busy market where NH173, SH24 and SH47 meet. A full bus does not stop here unless someone needs it; the market road is narrow. The town grew round a hill fort built in 1676, which is why the name means new fort. Chitradurga is 60 km on, and the bus should arrive with time for the group to walk the fort before it closes.

Bus parking at the fort
A full bus reaches Chitradurga in about 6 hours from Mysore. There is parking right outside the fort near Gate 3, with basic toilets and drinking water. Fort tickets are bought by scanning a QR code at the gate, which is slow for 45 people on a weak signal, so one teacher or leader should buy them online in advance. The walk is long and rocky; everyone needs sturdy shoes, a cap and a water bottle.

Chitradurga is about 250 km from Mysore, so the bus covers about 500 km for the round trip. It runs by Srirangapatna, KR Pet, Channarayapatna, Arsikere and Hosadurga. A full bus takes about 6 hours with breakfast and a tea halt, so most school and college groups stay one night.
Not in the fare: tolls on the 250 km road to Chitradurga, parking, permits and GST, receipts shown.
For Chitradurga, a return after 10 pm brings the night allowance of ₹700 to ₹1,000 a night, by size.
For Chitradurga: under 35, the 33 or 35 seater; near 40, the 40 seater; 45 to 50, the 45, 49 or 50 seater. The full size list is on bus on rent in Mysore.
We quote Chitradurga one way drops on request; the rate is ₹2 a km above a round trip.
At the parking near the main gate. The group walks in from there.
October to March. The fort is dry rock with little shade, and Chitradurga gets only about 576 mm of rain a year, so the summer months are hot for children walking in a group. A winter trip lets the class walk the fort walls in the morning and still finish before the gates close in the evening.
It can, but we do not advise it for a school or college group. The fort is a full walking day, and a group that slept in bus seats tires fast on the rocks. A 5:30 am start reaches the fort by late morning. On the return, leave Chitradurga after lunch so the bus is back in Mysore by night.
