Group pickup
The group meets at six at one point, for example the city bus stand between the palace and KR Circle, which everyone knows. The mini bus leaves on the expressway and turns north near Srirangapatna. Devarayanadurga is about 165 km, about three and a half hours with halts, so leaving at six puts the group on the hill by late morning. Keep water cans and snacks in the rear space, since the hill has only simple food.

Drive through
With twenty people on board the mini bus drives through Srirangapatna. Stopping a group here for darshan takes the best part of an hour, which the hill visit needs more. The island town's Ranganathaswamy temple and Daria Daulat Bagh can be a separate trip; the summer palace opens around 9 am and closes by 5 pm anyway. Just past the town the mini bus turns north off the highway for Pandavapura and Nagamangala.

Breakfast
This is where the mini bus stops for breakfast, about 30 minutes. The tiffin hotels in Nagamangala are used to groups of twenty, and the mini bus parks in front. The Saumyakeshava temple is in the old town if anyone wants a quick look after eating. Count heads before leaving. Nagamangala is about 70 km from Mysore, and the next stretch north on NH150A to the highway at Bellur Cross is about 15 km.

Tea halt
Bellur Cross is the highway junction where NH150A meets NH75. There are tea stalls, highway hotels and fuel pumps, so twenty minutes covers a tea round and restrooms for the group. The junction has an over bridge, and the mini bus turns east under it towards Kunigal. This stretch of NH75 is tolled, so the toll is paid here or just ahead. Kunigal is about 35 km on, a straight run on a wide highway.

Drive through
Kunigal is a small taluk town at about 773 m, and the mini bus keeps moving. The lake beside the town and the stud farm across from it are visible from the road. Here the route leaves NH75 for State Highway 33 north to Tumakuru, about 35 km. Sondalagere, with the Kambada Narasimha Swamy temple, is about 12 km from Kunigal on the Magadi road, a stop some Narasimha devotees add on the return.

Supplies
Tumkur (Tumakuru) is the last city before the hill, about 150 km from Mysore. The mini bus stops twenty minutes for water, fruit and snacks, and the driver takes diesel. The Tumkur railway station is in the city centre near the bus stand and town hall, useful if anyone in the group is returning by train or joining late. From here the road climbs about 15 km through forest to Devarayanadurga.

Group parking
Driving time by mini bus is roughly three and a half hours. The mini bus uses the parking below the upper temple steps. The upper temple needs a climb; elders can stay at the lower temple. The Brahmotsava at the Bhoga Narasimha temple brings big crowds, so check the date before you book. Eat simple temple meals or your own food once you arrive. Keep bags in the bus; monkeys grab them.
Looking for a Mysore to Devarayanadurga mini bus to visit the Narasimha temples on the hill, for a group of about twenty? Devarayanadurga (Devarayadurga) is about 165 km from Mysuru via Nagamangala, Kunigal and Tumakuru. Devarayanadurga by mini bus costs less per head than three cars. For Devarayanadurga we pick up from a hotel on JLB Road or Mysore airport at Mandakalli. Book a mini bus on rent in Mysore through Tejas Tours & Travels.

Mysore to Devarayanadurga is about 165 km, about 330 km for the round trip. The mini bus goes via Srirangapatna, Nagamangala and Bellur Cross, then Kunigal and Tumkur (Tumakuru). Plan on about three and a half hours of driving for a group, with breakfast and two short halts.
Yes, up to the parking below the upper temple. The road is narrow with bends, so the driver goes slow.
We quote Devarayanadurga one way drops on request; the rate is ₹2 a km above a round trip.
The 25 seater, so everyone sits, bags included. All sizes are on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Not in the fare: tolls on the 165 km road to Devarayanadurga, parking, permits and GST, with receipts.
For Devarayanadurga, a return after 10 pm brings the night bata of ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
It is hot. From March to May the rocky hill heats up by noon, so start at six, do the climb in the morning and keep the afternoon for rest in the shade. November to February is the most comfortable season. In the rains, June to October, the steps get slippery and the group should move slowly.
Yes, if the group wants the sunset from the top. The forest road down to Tumakuru is slow in the dark, and the full return is about three and a half hours, so you reach Mysore late at night. Carry torches for the walk to the parking and plan dinner at Tumakuru or Bellur Cross.
