Group pickup
Pick one meeting point for the mini bus near the T Narasipura road on the south east side. If anyone in the group is arriving by train, the station has prepaid auto counters for the ride to the meeting point. Hogenakkal is about 220 km, around six hours for a mini bus, so an early start is a must. The route goes through Kollegal, the forest by MM Hills, Mettur and Pennagaram.
Breakfast for twenty
The mini bus halts at Kollegal, about 60 km from Mysore, for breakfast. Thirty minutes is right for twenty if the order is phoned in. Kollegal is the starting point of NH 766, and NH 948 also passes through, so the town is busy at the junctions. Silk sarees are the local craft. From here the mini bus takes SH 79 through Kamagere and Hanur. Restrooms here are the last clean ones for a while.
Tea before the forest
Hanur, about 85 km from Mysore, is the last tea and restroom halt before the forest. Fifteen minutes for twenty people. Hanur is roughly 55 km from the MM Hills temple, and on festival days the road beyond Kowdalli is closed to two wheelers and autos and packed with pilgrims. The mini bus goes through the sanctuary to Palar on the border and on to Mettur. Hand out water and biscuits before the bus moves.
Lunch
At Mettur, about 155 km from Mysore, the mini bus stops for lunch. Fifty minutes suits twenty. Boats from Nerinjipettai, about 4 km out at the foot of Palamalai, cross to Poolampatti, a well known film location, if the group stays an extra day. The dam usually opens in June. Pennagaram is about 50 km further, and the falls about 65 km. Phone the lunch order from Hanur so it is ready.
Drive on
The mini bus passes Pennagaram, about 205 km from Mysore, the last town before the falls. It has buses to Salem, Erode and Dharmapuri, and is about 30 km from Dharmapuri railway station. The falls are about 15 km on. Group leaders can use this stretch to repeat the river rules and fix one meeting point for the afternoon. Fuel and a cash machine are near the main road, the last before the river.
Group drop
The mini bus reaches Hogenakkal about six hours after leaving Mysore and parks near the falls. Hogenakkal sits on the border of Dharmapuri district and Chamarajanagar district, with the Kaveri between them. Soon after the monsoons the river is full and the falls loud. Give everyone one meeting point and one return time, as twenty people spread out quickly. Dharmapuri, about 46 km away, has more rooms. Lunch boxes can stay in the mini bus until you return.
Looking for a Mysore to Hogenakkal mini bus for 20 friends and a coracle ride? A mini bus is comfortable on the forest curves and fits the narrow last stretch to the falls. We collect from the Mysuru railway station, a hostel or two homes. See mini bus on rent in Mysore.

Hogenakkal lies about 220 km from Mysore, about 440 km for the round trip. The mini bus goes through Kollegal and Hanur, crosses the forest to Mettur and takes the Pennagaram road to the falls. A mini bus needs about six hours to get there, with halts.
Yes, quoted when you ask. One way costs ₹2 more per km than the return rate; the quote states the km.
The 22 seater, or 25 for bag room. Sizes on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
For Hogenakkal, a return after 10 pm brings the night bata of ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
No. Hogenakkal adds tolls, Tamil Nadu entry tax, parking and GST. A 20 seater for two days, 600 km is ₹21,800 with ₹1,400 driver bata.
Yes. There are lodges at Hogenakkal and more in Mettur and Dharmapuri.
It is, provided you drive it by day. Between Hanur and the Palar border crossing the road snakes through sanctuary forest, and a loaded mini bus takes those curves gently. Trucks and other heavy traffic are kept off at night under district orders, and officials have floated a full night closure, so our plan never leaves this leg for evening. Wet weather adds time.
Break the six hours into short legs: breakfast at Kollegal, tea at Hanur, lunch at Mettur, so nobody sits more than two hours at a stretch. Assign two leaders with a printed name list. Keep one bag of dry clothes per person in the mini bus, and a sack for wet things on the ride back.
