Pickup at your door
The Urbania comes to your door in Mysuru at about 6:30, or to a hotel near the palace, Mysore Junction or the bus stand. For a group of eight to sixteen it is the comfortable choice, with room for elders to stretch on the two hour drive. The route skips the city centre by the ring road and turns west on the Hunsur road. Mysore pak and Mysore bonda shops will be shut this early, so carry snacks from the night before.
Tea and breakfast
The Urbania halts at Hunsur, 45 km from Mysore, for breakfast. Simple, inexpensive hotels line the town, and twenty minutes covers the group. At about 800 m, Hunsur is a timber town known for teak. Kabini and the HD Kote side are reached from here by SH 86, and the Anechowkur gate by SH 90, so expect turning traffic at the junction. Periyapatna is about 30 km on, and Dubare about an hour away.
Drive on
At Periyapatna, the Urbania simply drives through. The town is the last taluk headquarters before Kodagu, and Bylakuppe, home of the Golden Temple, is within its limits. Many families plan the temple for the return, around 1 pm when the prayers start, so the morning goes to the elephants. A hill 10 to 15 km north, Bettadapura, has some 3,000 steps; it is not for today. Kushalnagar is about 15 km ahead.
Drive on
Kushalnagar is about 90 km out, and the Urbania keeps going to reach the river while the morning is young. On the return the town is worth a stop. Kanive village, about 9 km north, has a hanging bridge over the Kaveri, and the shops sell coffee and spices. Kushalnagar has no railway, so the Mysore to Kodagu traffic is all on this road, and the centre can be slow. Dubare is 15 km on by the Siddapur road.
Camp drop
The Urbania stops at the parking by the Kaveri, about two hours from Mysore. From here the camp is across the river. Since the 2025 reopening the camp has a no touch rule, and visitors stay behind barricades while the elephants are bathed and fed. Rides are no longer allowed. The camp elephants eat ragi and jaggery balls, and some of them take part in Mysore Dasara. Keep shoes that can get wet, and leave bags in the van.
Need a Mysore to Dubare Elephant Camp Force Urbania for 8 to 16 people, with seniors who want an easy day by the Kaveri? It is comfortable and quiet on the Coorg road. With a driver, we arrange Force Urbania on rent in Mysore at Tejas Tours & Travels.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

Dubare is roughly 105 km from Mysore, so about 210 km for the return. In the Urbania, two hours with a breakfast halt is typical: Hunsur, Periyapatna and Kushalnagar on NH275, then the Siddapur road for the final 15 km to the river bank.
It is short, with life jackets. Elders who prefer not to cross can watch from the bank.
Yes, quoted when you ask. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
The 8 seater. The full size list is on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Only if the driver drives late at night; then a night allowance is added. Rate card figure: ₹700 a night.
Not included. You pay tolls, parking, permits and GST at actual, with receipts.
Mostly in July and August. Madikeri, about 30 km from Kushalnagar, gets most of its yearly 3,200 mm of rain in June, July and August, and the Kaveri at Dubare rises with it. When the river is high the boat crossing can stop. The road from Mysore stays open, so the Urbania can still do Bylakuppe and Kushalnagar if the camp is closed.
We suggest leaving Kushalnagar by about 5 pm. Kodagu roads have speed breakers without markings, heavy lorries and animals at night, so the return is slower in the dark. If the group starts back by evening, you reach Mysore in time for dinner, and shops are still open until a little before 10 pm.
