One boarding point
Forty or fifty pilgrims board at 4:30 am at one site with space for a coach, a temple yard or a college playground. Groups meeting near the palace can use the Palace Board parking by the Varaha gate, which accepts buses and charges by the hour. Big bags go in the hold, pooja items and dhotis in hand bags. The coach heads west on the Hunsur road and turns onto SH57 at Bilikere; Dharmasthala is roughly six hours away.
Tea halt
At KR Nagar, about 40 km from Mysore, the coach halts fifteen minutes for tea. The Bilikere junction lies roughly 15 km behind us, and from here the road through town is numbered NH373, though everyone calls it SH57. The coach stands on the main road while the group finds tea. Holenarasipura is about 45 km on, and Hassan, where fifty people will breakfast, roughly 80 km. Two coordinators at the door keep boarding quick.
Drive on
The coach drives through Holenarasipura, around 85 km out, without stopping. Farms of paddy, ragi, coconut and sugarcane surround this Hemavathi town. SH57 here has light traffic and a good surface, comfortable for a full size bus. Hassan is roughly 35 km on, under an hour. Ask the group to stay seated, since breakfast is close and an extra halt would cost time before the ghat. Keep window curtains open for the green views.
Breakfast
Hassan, near the 120 km mark, is where the coach stops for breakfast. We book a hotel with an open forecourt so the bus can stand, and the group eats in two batches. Hassan is pleasant from October to March, but from June to September heavy rain falls here, and the ghat ahead gets even more. Allow forty minutes for breakfast and a count. NH75 then runs about 40 km west to Sakleshpur.
Restroom halt
Sakleshpur, close to 160 km from Mysore, gives fifty people a fifteen minute washroom halt before the ghat. The coach stops on NH75 at the edge of town rather than in the narrow centre. The town lies near 932 m at the foot of the Western Ghats, and Mangalore is about 125 km beyond, through the ghat. The Shiradi descent to Gundya, about 38 km, has many bends, so everyone should use the washroom here.
Tea halt
Gundya, around 205 km out, gets a ten minute tea halt after the ghat. Pilgrims for Kukke Subramanya (Subrahmanya) branch off here, while our coach carries on about 30 km to Dharmasthala. During past Shiradi restrictions buses were allowed through at night even when heavy goods lorries were stopped, but full closures have also followed landslips, so we check the order first. The coach parks on the highway shoulder. Water bottles can be refilled here.
Pilgrim drop
Six hours of driving, halts included, bring the coach to Dharmasthala, roughly 75 km east of Mangaluru. It drops the group at the bus parking near the temple area, a short walk from the guest houses. Inside the sanctum, men take off shirt and vest. The temple kitchen feeds thousands free every day, so a party of fifty can eat at the meal hall without booking. One coordinator keeps the name list for the return.

Route | One way | Dharmasthala and back | Time by bus |
|---|---|---|---|
Mysore to Dharmasthala via KR Nagar, Hassan and Gundya | About 235 km | About 470 km | About 6 hr with stops |
Dharmasthala is roughly 235 km from Mysore, so the bus covers about 470 km. One way: on request. We bill that as 2 days, 600 km at 300 km per day. Most bus groups leave at night or very early, see the temple next morning, add Kukke, and return the second evening. A Mysore to Dharmasthala trip with one night away fits this. On top come the allowance for the driver of ₹700 to ₹1,000 a day by bus size, and tolls, parking fees and GST at actuals. Volvo or BharatBenz on request, billed at 400 km a day. Fuel and the driver are in the rate per km. AC and non-AC available; say which when you ask for the quote.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

Expect roughly 235 km each way, close to 470 km there and back. Our coach climbs SH57 through KR Nagar to Hassan, runs NH75 past Sakleshpur, drops down the Shiradi ghat to Gundya and then turns for the temple. Fifty pilgrims with meal halts need about six hours of driving.
The driver gets a night allowance when the drive goes late into the night. The night bata is ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size.
Yes. When it is closed for repairs, we take the Charmadi ghat via Mudigere. Buses use it every day.
The 33 seater fits them with two seats spare. Every size is listed on bus on rent in Mysore.
No. Tolls, parking, permits and GST are added at actual cost.
Yes, quoted when you ask. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
Yes. Buses have been allowed on the Shiradi ghat even when heavy goods vehicles were stopped. In some monsoons the ghat was closed after landslips; then the detour was by Belur, Mudigere and the Charmadi ghat, which adds time. We check the current order before the trip.
Leave Mysore at 4:30 am, breakfast at Hassan and reach Dharmasthala by about 10:30 am. The free temple lunch starts around 11 am. Book trust guest houses early for an overnight stay. Men should carry a dhoti, and everyone should keep footwear in the bus. One coordinator keeps the name list.
