Chunchi Falls
Park, then walk; elders can stay in the shade. Children like this one. No swimming, the water is deep and fast.
Sangama
The tempo traveller waits at the lot while you walk. Shallow water in summer only. Elders can rest in the van if they want.
Mekedatu
The Kaveri squeezes through a rock gorge here. The van stops at the counter; you go in by the shuttle. The family can leave bags in the tempo traveller.
Muthathi
The tempo traveller waits at the lot while you walk. Shady riverbank, good for a picnic. Children like this one.

Pickup for the group
Our tempo traveller rolls up at the address you send, be it a home in the suburbs or a lodge by the railway station. It then follows the ring road round to the Bannur exit and turns east. Mysore eateries open early with akki rotti and uppittu, an easy breakfast to pack for a dozen people. The falls are about 100 km, close to two hours away. Bring caps, water and a bag for rubbish, because the site has very few facilities.
Drive on
At Bannur, about 30 km from the city, the tempo traveller does not halt. This municipal town in T Narasipura taluk is where the Somanathapura road turns off on the right. The driver keeps to the main road through a busy centre, slowing for local buses and two wheelers. The group can save its first break for Malavalli, about 25 km on. Use the time to check that every bag has water, since the falls area has little to buy.
Group breakfast
Breakfast for the group is at Malavalli, about 55 km out. A dozen people need around twenty five minutes for a meal and the restrooms. Malavalli sits roughly 24 km south of Maddur, on the road that runs to Kollegal, and it is the last good market before the river country. Shimsha falls and its hydro station at Shimshapura are in this taluk too. The tempo traveller now turns for Halagur, about 21 km away.
Through Halagur
Halagur, on the Shimsha side, is about 70 km from Mysore and roughly 57 km from Mandya. The tempo traveller passes through on NH 948 without a halt. After this the road gets quieter and the turn for the Arkavathi valley comes up. The falls are about 30 km ahead. Tell the driver now if anyone needs a restroom, because the last stretch has none, and the walk at the falls is on bare rock.
Drop at the road end
The tempo traveller stops where the road ends, close to two hours after leaving Mysore, and the group walks the last stretch over rock to the falls. Few facilities exist, so the van is your base for water and food. The river can be deadly; the rock is smooth and the current strong, so keep everyone out of the water. When the Arkavathi is in spate, the site has been closed, and we check the day before.

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. 👍

By road Chunchi Falls is about 100 km from Mysore, which makes roughly 200 km for a day trip. The tempo traveller goes east by Bannur, Malavalli and Halagur and then down into the Arkavathi valley. Allow close to two hours of driving each way.
Yes. They are a short drive on. The tempo traveller stops at Sangama; a local bus goes on to Mekedatu.
Yes, that works. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
Chunchi Falls: the 16 seater, with spare seats for suitcases. Chunchi Falls comes to ₹10,200 for 300 km at ₹32/km, plus ₹600 driver's allowance. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Driving late at night means a night allowance for the driver. The quote lists it. The tempo traveller night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
No. Out of state, the permit is extra too. Tolls, parking and GST are extra at actual cost.
The highway part through Bannur, Malavalli and Halagur stays good in the rain. The trouble is at the falls; the site has been closed when the Arkavathi is swollen, and the rock path gets slippery. In the monsoon we ring ahead the day before. In the dry season the falls are thinner, but the walk is easier for a family group.
It can be. From the road end the path is a few hundred metres over uneven rock, with no rails. Elders who are steady on their feet manage it slowly with a stick. Others can wait in the shade near the tempo traveller. Carry water, a cap and a light snack for them, since there is nothing to buy at the site.
