Pickup for the group
Our tempo traveller can pick the group up from a home and a second address on the way out. It leaves by the T Narasipura road, which runs through Kollegal and on to MM Hills and Salem. Hogenakkal is about 220 km, around five and a half hours. Mysore's breakfast tables open early with idli sambar, masala dosa and kesari bath, so eat before you set off and keep Kollegal for tea. Pack towels and a change of clothes.
Breakfast
The family breaks at Kollegal, about 60 km out, for breakfast or tea. Twenty five minutes covers a dozen people. The town sits at about 590 to 660 m, and the summer heat builds quickly here, so an early halt is more comfortable. Kollegal is a taluk headquarters of Chamarajanagar district. The road to MM Hills and the border leaves from here through Kamagere and Hanur. Buy fruit for the children here.
Water and restrooms
At Hanur, about 85 km from Mysore, the tempo traveller halts for fifteen minutes. This is the last town with restrooms and shops before the forest. Heavy vehicles with more than six wheels are kept off the Talabetta to Palar road between 9 pm and 6 am, and the van plans its crossing in daylight too. Palar, on the border, is about 30 km before Mettur. Keep snacks within reach for the forest stretch.
Family lunch
Mettur, about 155 km from Mysore, is the lunch halt for the family. Forty five minutes allows a meal and a short visit to Ellis Park at the foot of the dam, with its snake park and deer park, which children enjoy. The park keeps daytime hours, roughly until 6 pm. The dam is the largest in Tamil Nadu, finished in 1934. Pennagaram is about 50 km further. Ask for a table near the fan; it gets warm by noon.
Last town
Pennagaram, about 205 km from Mysore, is the last town before the falls. The tempo traveller passes through unless someone needs a restroom or an ATM. Buses link the town with Salem, Erode and Dharmapuri, so it is busy around the bus stand. The falls are about 15 km on, a short run down towards the river. Children can change into old clothes here if they plan to get wet.
Drop at the falls
The tempo traveller reaches Hogenakkal about five and a half hours after pickup and parks near the falls. The falls sit on the border between Dharmapuri district in Tamil Nadu and Chamarajanagar district in Karnataka. Water is at its fullest soon after the monsoons. The rocks by the river are wet and smooth, so everyone needs sandals with grip. For rooms, Dharmapuri is about 46 km away. Keep the van keys with the driver, not on the rocks.
Want a Mysore to Hogenakkal tempo traveller for a family day at the falls and a coracle ride? It takes 9 to 20 people door to door through Kollegal and Mettur.

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. 👍

Plan on about 220 km from Mysore to the falls, close to 440 km for the return. The tempo traveller takes Kollegal and Hanur, crosses the forest to Mettur and goes on through Pennagaram. With a family on board, the drive takes around five and a half hours.
If the Hogenakkal tempo traveller runs past 10 pm, the night allowance is ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
Yes, with care. Use life jackets on coracles and keep away from the rocks near fast water.
The 12 seater, or 14 for bag room. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Hogenakkal one way: possible on request. A one way van is quoted at the return rate and ₹2 a km.
No, for Hogenakkal those are billed separately. The 12 seater for two days, 600 km is ₹15,600 and our driver bata is ₹1,200. Then tolls, Tamil Nadu entry tax, parking and GST.
The months soon after the monsoons, when the Kaveri is full. Summer on the plains is hot, so in March to May start very early from Mysore. Late July or early August brings Aadi Perukku crowds to the river at Mettur. We plan the forest crossing between Hanur and Mettur in daylight in every season.
For a day trip, one small bag per person with a towel, a change of clothes and sandals is enough; things get wet at the falls. For an overnight trip, one medium bag each fits in the back of the tempo traveller. Keep a plastic bag for wet clothes so the seats stay dry on the way back.
