Group pickup
A tempo traveller for nine to seventeen people collects the group at one or two places in Mysore, a house, a hotel near the palace or the railway station. Start by 6:30, because the morning at the river is the reason for this trip and the drive is about two hours. If anyone wants a Mysore souvenir, sandalwood carvings and incense sticks are the classic buys, but the shops open late, so leave that for the evening return.
Breakfast
Hunsur is 45 km out and the breakfast halt for the van. The town's plain hotels feed a dozen people in about 20 minutes. Hunsur sits beside the Lakshmana Tirtha and is the base of the Nagarhole forest office, so groups planning a jungle day later sometimes ask about permits here. Rabgayling, a smaller Tibetan settlement of 1971, is about 12 km away at Gurupura. Our road stays on NH275, and Dubare is roughly an hour ahead.
Drive on
The van passes Periyapatna, also written Piriyapatna, after 30 km more. It is the last Mysore district taluk on this road, and a little after it the road enters Kodagu. No halt is needed; breakfast was just an hour ago. For a group with a second day, the Anechowkur gate of north Nagarhole is reached from here by SH 21. Remind everyone to keep the camp entry fee and some change in their pockets.
Quick halt
Kushalnagar comes about 90 km from Mysore, and a ten minute halt here suits a van group before the last stretch: water, a restroom and a quick look at the shops. Eateries in town cook Kerala style fish and meat as well as vegetarian meals, worth noting for lunch after the camp. The town wraps inside a loop of the Kaveri, and the same river flows past Dubare 15 km on. Traffic through the centre is heavy, so the van stops off the main road.
River bank parking
The tempo traveller parks on the Siddapur road near the crossing point, about two hours after Mysore. Visitors reach the camp across the Kaveri by boat, or on foot over the rocks when the river is low. The elephants are bathed in the river in the morning, roughly 9 to 11. Fees for entry, the boat and cameras are paid separately and change often, so check at the counter. A group of fourteen crosses in two or three boat trips.

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. 👍

Dubare Elephant Camp is about 105 km from Mysore, about 210 km for a return trip. The tempo traveller runs on NH275 through Hunsur, Periyapatna and Kushalnagar, then turns onto the Siddapur road. Allow about two hours in the van with breakfast at Hunsur, and start early, since the camp is busiest with elephants in the morning.
It can be done. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
A night allowance for the driver applies only if the drive runs late into the night. It is shown in the quote. Our card says ₹600 to ₹700, by size per night.
No. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
The 9 seater is enough, or the 12 seater with lots of bags. See every size on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Only as the camp staff allow. Follow their rules at the camp.
October to May is easiest. The river is calmer, the boat runs, and the rocks are walkable when the water is low. In the monsoon the crossing can be stopped when the Kaveri is high, and treks are not allowed in the rain. Rafting on the river, usually run in the monsoon, is the one thing that suits the wet months better.
Yes. The bags stay locked in the tempo traveller at the river parking while you cross to the camp, and the driver stays with the van. Take only water, cameras and fee money across, as the boat is small. After the camp the van takes you on to the hotel in Kushalnagar or Madikeri with the luggage.
