Group pickup
The bus leaves at 6:30 am from your college, office or a palace area hotel in Mysuru, with 27 to 50 seats. Bags go in the hold, and pooja items in a cloth bag in hand. Planning the palace on a later day? Coaches are allowed in the Palace Board lot by the Varaha gate, billed hourly. We drive south by the Nanjangud road, NH 766. The hill is 80 km away, and a big group needs extra time at the forest bus queue, so this early start matters.

Breakfast and darshan
Nanjangud, 25 km from Mysore, gives a bus group room for breakfast and darshan. With roughly 50,000 sq ft inside its walls, this ranks among the biggest temples in the state, so a party of forty fits through without much crush on an ordinary day. The bus drops the group and waits at the outer parking. Temple hours start around 6 am. Keep forty five minutes for food, darshan and the head count, and remind everyone that modest dress is expected inside.

Fuel stop
Gundlupet is 60 km out, and the bus fills fuel here. Tiger country starts close by; the national park boundary is some 17 km off, and the hill temple itself stands within the reserve. The highway divides at the town; NH 766 carries on to Kerala and NH 181 to Ooty, and the bus takes the Ooty road as far as Hangala. Fifteen minutes is enough for the restroom. Water bottles should be filled, because the foothill has few services.

Hill road
At Hangala, 70 km from Mysore, the coach turns off the highway for Gopalaswamy Betta. The road is narrow in places, but a coach manages it as far as the foothill parking, about 10 km on. The driver goes slowly through the village and the farm stretch. Use this last part of the drive to divide the group into batches for the forest buses. Everyone keeps the batch number and the bus seat number, so the head count at the end goes quickly.

Coach parking
The coach parks at the foothill check post about two and a half hours after leaving Mysore, counting breakfast. No private vehicle goes up; the forest buses take visitors to the temple at about 1,450 m and bring them back after roughly an hour and a half on top. Forty or fifty people go up in batches, so keep three to four hours here in all. The last bus up is at about 4 pm. Lunch is best planned back at Gundlupet or Nanjangud on the way home.

November to February is the easy season, with cool mornings in Mysore and a pleasant wait at the foothill. March to May is hot on the plain, so start at 6:30 am and finish by early afternoon. The monsoon, June to October, brings rain to Mysore, but Gundlupet's side stays fairly dry, with about 60 cm a year, so the road rarely suffers.
The batches move in turns, so some people wait at the foothill while others are on top. Elders should go in the first batch, when it is cooler, and sit in the front seats of the coach. Keep water and their medicines in a small bag, as food is not allowed on the hill. Our coach stays at the parking, so anyone tired can rest inside.
