Group pickup
With roughly 450 km to cover, the van leaves at 4:30 am from one meeting point that suits the whole group in Mysuru. Bags are packed behind the last row the night before if possible. Anyone who misses the start can take a train from Mysore Junction to Hassan and join us there. The route is the Hunsur road, then the Bilikere turn for KR Nagar and Hassan. Kannada is spoken all along the inland road; on the coast you will also hear Konkani.
Tea halt
First tea for the van comes at KR Nagar, roughly 40 km out. The bus station canteen is usually serving by 6 am, and other vegetarian eateries open around 7 am. Osmania biscuits go round with the tea. KR Nagar sits a little west of the KRS reservoir, at close to 786 m. On a return day, the twin cascades of Chunchanakatte, about 14 km away through Saligrama, are a pleasant detour. Hassan is about 80 km further on.
Breakfast halt
By Hassan, about 120 km into the trip, everyone is hungry, so the van stops thirty minutes for breakfast. Ragi mudde with green curry is the filling local meal if some want an early lunch instead. Weather is kindest from October to March. Off the route, Gorur dam on the Hemavathi lies some 22 km away, and in summer its backwaters reveal the old Shettihalli church. Here the van leaves the Mangalore highway and turns north for Arsikere and Kadur.
Restroom halt
Ten minutes at Kadur, roughly 200 km from home, is for restrooms and stretching. After Chikmagalur town this is the district's biggest place, with a railway junction on the Hubli line. Coconut groves and areca gardens fill the fields. The highway onward is the old trunk road towards Honnavar, running through Bhadravathi, about 60 km on, and then Shivamogga. Rain is light on this side, usually below 750 mm a year, so the road is rarely wet.
Lunch halt
Lunch for the group happens at Shivamogga, about 275 km along; forty five minutes lets everyone eat without rushing. Areca nut trading keeps the city busy, and it marks the edge of the Malnad hills. Children may enjoy the Tyavarekoppa lion and tiger safari, roughly 10 km from the centre, though it closes on Tuesdays. October to March is the clear, cool season; from June to early October expect rain. Sagar is about 80 km ahead.
Tea in Sagar
Tea and a short stretch at Sagar, around 350 km out, take fifteen minutes. The town stands near 579 m on the Varada, and its Ganapathi lake has a temple and a mosque sharing one bank. Shops here stock appe midi pickle, made locally. Devotees sometimes ask to see Varadahalli, where Sridhara Swami's samadhi lies about 6 km along the Jog road. Jog Falls is roughly 30 km away, the last big sight before the ghat.
Jog viewpoint
Half an hour at the Jog viewpoint, about 380 km from Mysore, gives the group time for photos. The Sharavathi falls some 830 ft here, and how much water you see depends on releases from the Linganamakki dam, about 6 km upstream. Full flow comes in July and August, and August to December is also good. Guides wait near the gate if anyone wants one. Then the van starts the 70 km descent to Honnavar, in low gear.
Arrival
Some nine and a half hours and about 450 km after the start, the van pulls up at the Honnavar hotel. Merchants have used this harbour for centuries; the traveller Ibn Battuta stopped here in 1342. Seafood is the obvious dinner. Off the coast you can make out Basavaraja Durga island with its lighthouse. Yearly rain is huge, about 3,732 mm, so pack umbrellas for a monsoon visit. Parking a van near most hotels is easy.

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. 👍

The road distance is about 450 km each way, around 900 km in total, through Hassan, Shivamogga, Sagar and the Jog ghat. A tempo traveller with a full group takes about nine and a half hours, including breakfast, lunch and a stop at Jog Falls.
For 3 days and 900 km: 12 seater ₹23,400 (₹24/km). Driver allowance is ₹600 a day. Tolls and GST are extra.
The 20 seater, with bags at the back. Every size is on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes. One way is ₹2 a km above the round trip rate, and we confirm the km and the fare in writing before the day.
Yes. The driver goes slowly in low gear on the bends.
Yes. It splits the drive into two easy days; the billing stays per day and per km.
Jog Falls is at its most dramatic in July and August, but then the coast is soaked and the ghat slow. For beaches and boat rides, October to February is easier, with a calm sea and dry roads. Summer evenings on the coast are pleasant, though the days are hot.
Fifteen people fit in the 17 seater with one soft bag each at the back. Hard suitcases take more room, so pack in duffel bags if you can. Keep rain jackets and a change of clothes at the seat for the Jog stop, where the spray can soak you in the monsoon.
