Board early
Fifty pilgrims board at half past five at one gate, a temple yard or school ground with space for a coach. On Vijayadashami the police have barred vehicles from entering Mysore by all the main roads from six in the morning, so on Dasara dates leave before then or choose another day. The coach takes the expressway north and turns off near Srirangapatna. Food and water go in the hold, as the hill has only simple meals.

Drive through
The bus drives through Srirangapatna without stopping. The island town has the Ranganathaswamy temple, Tipu's summer palace and the Gumbaz, but a stop with fifty people costs too much of the morning. The Gananguru toll plaza near the town is the first toll of the day. The coach leaves the highway just after Srirangapatna and takes the district road north, which is fine for a full size bus at a steady pace.

Breakfast for fifty
Fifty breakfasts take time, so keep 40 minutes at Nagamangala. People stop here for tea and tiffin, and the driver chooses a hotel with a big yard so the bus does not block the road. Calling ahead from Mysore saves another ten minutes. The old Saumyakeshava temple is in the town, but a group this size should keep moving. Next is NH150A to Bellur Cross, about 15 km north, where the coach meets the national highway.

Tea and washrooms
Bellur Cross is the junction of NH150A and NH75, with an over bridge between them. The coach pulls into a highway hotel yard for tea and washrooms, twenty minutes with a head count. Accommodation in this area is at Nagamangala and the Adichunchanagiri math guest houses, useful for groups who split the trip into two days. From here the bus turns east on NH75 towards Kunigal, about 35 km on the tolled highway.

Drive through
The bus passes Kunigal without a halt. The town has a large lake, the second largest in Karnataka by one count, and the Kunigal stud farm from the 1790s. The railway line to Hassan runs through the town too. At Kunigal the coach turns north on State Highway 33 for Tumakuru, about 35 km. The Marconahalli dam on the Shimsha, built in 1939, is off this side of the taluk, but not on the group's road.

Fuel and supplies
Tumkur (Tumakuru) is the last city before the hill, so the coach stops twenty minutes for diesel, water cans and fruit. The city sits on NH48, where NH73 to Mangaluru also starts, so traffic is heavy near the junctions. Pick a pump with space for the bus. Devarayanadurga is about 15 km on, and the forest road up is narrower, so the driver takes it slowly with a full coach.

Bus parking
A bus takes roughly four hours on the road from Mysore. Big buses use the parking below the upper temple steps; expect a short walk. The hill is named after Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar, the Mysore ruler who captured it. Food there is simple temple meals, so carry packed food for fifty. Monkeys grab food bags; keep them in the bus. The nearest railway is Tumkur, about 15 km away, if anyone needs to leave early.

Yes, quoted when you ask. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
No. We list tolls, GST and parking separately, since Bus tolls are above car tolls.
The 49 or 50 seater has a seat for all plus a few extra. Compare sizes on bus on rent in Mysore.
The Brahmotsava, the annual festival of the Bhoga Narasimha temple, draws large crowds, and the bus parking fills early. Weekends are busier than weekdays. If your group wants a quiet darshan, pick a weekday between November and February. In Dasara season, also allow for diversions when leaving Mysore.
The luggage hold takes big vessels, water cans and plates. Since the hill has only simple temple meals, many groups cook at home and eat at the parking or at Tumakuru on the way back. Keep the food sealed and inside the bus until you are ready to serve, as the monkeys are bold.
