Coach pickup
Board the coach at one open ground near the T Narasipura road so it can leave the city without crossing the centre. Hogenakkal is about 220 km, around six and a half hours for a full bus with halts. Before any trip into Tamil Nadu we check the news for bandh calls tied to the Kaveri water dispute, which sometimes bring protests in Mysore. Carry water cans and a first aid kit for the group.
Breakfast and diesel
Kollegal is where the bus fills diesel and fifty people eat, around an hour and a half after the start. Forty minutes works if the order went in ahead by phone. A latecomer can still catch up here, since Chamarajanagar station is only a 38 km taxi ride away. The town lives by its silk, woven on old pit looms in the back lanes. Everyone should use the restrooms now, as the forest after Hanur has none, and the driver checks tyres and water before the climb.
Last halt in Karnataka
For the coach, Hanur is the final Karnataka halt, roughly 85 km out. Allow twenty minutes so the queue at the restrooms clears. Chamarajanagar district rules restrict trucks and coaches with over six wheels on the road that runs through MM Hills into Tamil Nadu, with a night ban between nine and six. We check what applies to your bus size when you book and always plan this crossing for daylight. The border village of Palar lies about 30 km before Mettur.
Lunch for the coach
Lunch for the coach is at Mettur, about 155 km into the trip. Fifty people eat best in two sittings, so keep a full hour. The town grew around the great Kaveri dam, nine years in the building and completed in 1934. Expect riverbank crowds on Aadi Perukku, which falls on day 18 of the Tamil month of Aadi, and again during the Mariamman temple week in May. Pennagaram comes about 50 km later on the road to the falls.
Drive on
The coach drives straight through Pennagaram, the last town before the river. Its bus stand is a hub for services to Dharmapuri, Salem and Erode, so the area around it gets busy and the driver keeps the speed low. The falls lie about 15 km beyond, down a gentler road. Teachers and leaders should use these minutes to announce the meeting point and the time to board again. Sandals on before the door opens.
Coach drop
The bus reaches Hogenakkal about six and a half hours after pickup and parks where coaches are allowed near the falls. The river here is the border between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The falls are best soon after the monsoons. Fix one meeting point and one return time, and keep a head count, since the riverside gets crowded on weekends. Dharmapuri, about 46 km away, has hotels for a group.
Planning Mysore to Hogenakkal bus hire for a college picnic or a staff outing of 45 to the falls? One bus takes the whole group through Kollegal and Mettur, and parks at the main lot near the coracle point. We board at a Mysuru campus gate, a factory gate or the city bus stand. Book bus on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

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.

Count close to 220 km from Mysore to the falls and the same back, about 440 km in all for the bus. Its line runs east to Kollegal and Hanur, over the border at Palar to Mettur, then north on the Pennagaram road. With fifty people and three halts, the coach takes six and a half hours to get there.
The 50 seater. Sizes on bus on rent in Mysore.
The Palar forest road is driven only in daylight, so we leave Hogenakkal by early afternoon. If the driver still works late into the night, the night allowance on the rate card applies. ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night is the bus rate.
No. Tolls, Tamil Nadu entry tax, parking and GST are added at actuals. A 49 seater for two days, 600 km at ₹54/km is ₹32,400, and ₹2,000 driver allowance.
One way is on request, at ₹2 more per km than the return rate. The billed km are fixed in the written quote.
No. They stop when the river runs high, mostly in the monsoon. Check the water level before you go.
The weeks after the rains, when the Kaveri still runs high but the downpours are over. The plains bake from March to May, so a summer coach leaves Mysore before dawn. Riverside crowds at Mettur during Aadi Perukku, late July or early August, slow the lunch halt. Whatever the month, we time the forest leg near the border for daylight.
Phone the breakfast order to Kollegal and the lunch order to Mettur while on the road. Big luggage rides in the hold under the floor. Ask each traveller to pack a light shoulder bag for the river: dry shirt, slippers, a towel. A sack for damp clothes keeps the seats clean, and the leader counts heads at each halt.
