Pickup at your door
Expect the cab at your door in Mysuru at 5 am, because Honnavar lies about 450 km away and the Jog ghat is best finished before dark. Gifts such as Mysore silk sarees or sandalwood carvings travel well, so buy them the day before. Our driver follows the Hunsur road for some 25 km and swings right at Bilikere, where a big overhead board marks the Hassan turn. Keep biscuits and water in the car; the first real meal comes at Hassan, two hours on.
Drive through
Paddy fields announce KR Nagar after roughly 40 km. The present town was laid out in the 1920s and 1930s, once Kaveri floods had wrecked old Yedatore nearby. Cabs normally roll on, though a cup of tea is easy here, and village tea stalls keep karjoora cake, a little date cake, beside the kettle. A short side road of about 4 km leads to the Arkeshwara temple on the river bank. Next come Holenarasipura and Hassan on the same state highway.
Breakfast in Hassan
Breakfast waits at Hassan, roughly 120 km into the drive and close to 950 m above the sea; half an hour covers it. Order akki rotti or kadubu with coconut chutney, and finish with strong Malnad filter coffee. Around Deepavali the city fills up, since the Hasanamba shrine opens its doors only for a short spell each year. Families planning Belur on the way home should note it is only about 38 km from here. After eating, the cab heads north for Arsikere and Kadur.
Tea halt
Dry country surrounds Kadur, some 200 km out, because the town sits in the rain shadow on the eastern side of the Malnad hills. A quick tea here breaks the long highway stretch. Local legend links the name to the sambar deer that once roamed these plains. Hill lovers can keep Kemmangundi, with its Z point and Hebbe falls, for another holiday; it lies about 42 km away. Bhadravathi, the steel town, comes next, and Shivamogga about 80 km on.
Lunch in Shivamogga
Lunch happens in Shivamogga, about 275 km from home, a city on the Tunga river that people call the doorway to Malnad. Allow forty five minutes. Before leaving, pick up appe midi, the small tender mango pickle this district is proud of. The Shivappa Nayaka palace, now a museum by the river, shuts on Fridays. For the drive back, Sakrebailu elephant camp is about 14 km away and best seen in the morning. Sagar lies about 80 km further on.
Short halt
Twenty minutes at Sagar, some 350 km along, is enough for a look at Ikkeri's Aghoreshwara temple, reached by a 6 km side road, if the daylight allows. Sandalwood carving is the old craft of the Gudigar families here, and the areca market ranks among the largest in the state. The Keladi Rameshwara temple is a similar 6 km away. From town the cab follows NH69 for roughly 30 km to Jog, after which the road begins its long fall to the coast.
Falls viewpoint
Water drops about 253 m at Jog, around 380 km from Mysore, the second highest plunge fall in India, fed by the Sharavathi. On a one day run a twenty minute look from the viewing area is plenty; the long stairway of roughly 1,400 steps to the bottom needs its own morning. Flow is strongest in July and August. Small fees for entry and parking are collected at the gate. Honnavar is about 70 km down the ghat, so keep moving well before dusk.
Hotel drop
After around nine hours and close to 450 km, the cab sets you down at your Honnavar hotel. This old port sits where the Sharavathi meets the sea, and the Konkan Railway crosses the river on a bridge longer than 2 km. Dinner is fish, bought fresh at the town's own market. For a gentle morning outing, Mirjan fort is roughly 30 km north. Kumta lies about 19 km up NH66 and Gokarna near 45 km, if the plan stretches north.
Heading for the Honnavar beaches, the Sharavathi backwaters or Apsarakonda? A Mysore to Honnavar cab takes the inland road by Hassan, Shivamogga and Jog Falls, about 450 km, with the falls on the way. Book with cab rental in Mysore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

|---|---|---|---|
Mysore to Honnavar via Hassan, Shivamogga and Jog Falls | About 450 km | About 900 km | About 9.5 to 10 hr with stops |
Roughly 900 km of driving puts Honnavar at 3 days on our card, or 900 km. Fuel and driver are part of every km; allowance per day, toll and parking receipts, permits and GST are charged separately. Ask for a Mysore to Honnavar taxi and these are the rates you pay.

₹18 | ₹17,400 | ₹23,200 | ₹29,000 | |
₹20 | ₹19,200 | ₹25,600 | ₹32,000 |

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Honnavar is about 450 km from Mysore one way, about 900 km for the round trip, by KR Nagar, Hassan, Kadur, Shivamogga, Sagar and Jog Falls. A cab takes about 9.5 to 10 hours with breakfast at Hassan and lunch at Shivamogga. The last 70 km go down the ghat from Jog, so start early.
The Honnavar trip bills 3 days and 900 km, so Dzire ₹12,000 Etios ₹13,800 Innova ₹17,400 Innova Crysta ₹19,200. Driver allowance is ₹400 a day, with tolls and GST extra.
Yes. Expect ₹2 a km above the return fare; share your date and pickup point and the quote comes back in writing.
The Innova or Innova Crysta, with room for bags. All options are on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. Jog is on the route, about 70 km before Honnavar; a stop at the viewpoint is part of the plan.
Yes. Both are on NH66 near Honnavar; the extra km are added to the bill.
Usually yes, but it is narrow and slow in heavy rain, and July is the wettest month on this coast. We check the road the evening before. The falls are at their best then, so many families still go, but they leave Jog by mid afternoon to finish the ghat in daylight.
Yes, and it is easier. Many families stop the night at Shivamogga or Sagar and see Jog Falls in the morning light. The extra day is billed at 300 km with the driver allowance, and the drive becomes about 9.5 to 10 hours a day.
