Pickup
We fetch the group at 5:00 am from one or two places in Mysuru, a home in Siddhartha Layout and a hotel near the palace, for instance. Bags go in the back and the overnight kits on top, because we sleep in Sagar. Mysore is known for rosewood inlay and gold leaf Mysore paintings, nice gifts to pick up on the return. The van takes the Hunsur road out and the SH57 turn at Bilikere; Hassan comes in about two and a half hours.
Breakfast
Hassan, roughly 120 km from Mysore, is the breakfast halt. The driver chooses a hotel with parking at the door where fifteen people can sit at two tables. Ragi mudde with green curry is the heavy local plate; dosa and coffee are lighter. Hassan sits at about 950 m and is pleasant from October to March. Belur is about 38 km on, on our road today. Thirty minutes, then on to Chikmagalur.
Coffee halt
Chikmagalur, about 185 km out, is the coffee town of Karnataka, at about 1,040 m and cool most of the year. The van stops twenty minutes for coffee and the restroom. Shops sell estate coffee powder and black pepper, easy gifts to carry. The Ayyanakere lake and the Bhadra wildlife sanctuary are in this district, ideas for a separate trip. Winter mornings here drop to about 11 C, so keep a sweater handy. Shivamogga is about 85 km on.
Lunch
Shivamogga, which many still call Shimoga, is the lunch halt near the 270 km mark. A hotel that can seat fifteen together keeps it quick, and the van waits in front. The city lies along the Tunga, and the museum in the Shivappa Nayaka palace stands near the river bank, shut on Fridays. Areca sacks piled in the market lanes show how big the nut trade is here. Diesel goes in before the last 75 km to Sagar.
Night halt
Sagar, close to 345 km out, is tonight's stop, and the van usually rolls in by mid afternoon. Book one lodge for the whole group so the early start is simple. With daylight left, families can stroll to Ganapathi lake in town, where a temple and a mosque share the shore, or drive about 6 km to Varadamoola, where the Varada river is born. Gudigar craftsmen sell carved sandalwood in the market. Jog is roughly 30 km ahead.
Falls stop
Day two starts at Jog Falls, about 375 km out. The Sharavathi drops about 253 m. An hour at the viewpoints is right for a family group, and the van parks in the main lot. The steps to the base are about 1,400 and steep. Linganamakki dam, 6 km from the falls, controls the water, so the flow depends on what the dam lets through. Then the van goes down the ghat to Honnavar, about 70 km.
Coast lunch
Honnavar, some 445 km from Mysore, gives the group a coastal lunch. Hotels along the highway serve fish curry and rice, and vegetarian meals for those who want them. This is one of the wettest towns in the state, roughly 3,732 mm of rain a year, so monsoon trips need umbrellas for everybody. Apsarakonda falls and the Eco beach at Kasarkod are both close, ideas for the drive home. Idagunji is only about 16 km on.
Temple arrival
Two days and about 9.5 to 10 hours of driving bring the tempo traveller to Idagunji. The van stops close to the temple entrance, so elders have only a short walk. Darshan hours and the dress code are best checked at the temple office. If the group wants rooms or a bigger meal, Honnavar, about 16 km back, has both, along with a railway station on the Konkan line. Murudeshwar lies further south on NH66 for groups that continue.

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. 👍

It is about 460 km from Mysore to Idagunji one way, about 920 km both ways. The tempo traveller runs SH57 to Hassan, through Chikmagalur to Shivamogga and Sagar, and down the ghat from Jog to Honnavar. With breakfast, lunch and tea halts it is about 9.5 to 10 hours of driving, broken by a night in Sagar.
It can be done. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
No. Tolls, parking and GST are extra at actual cost. Out of state, the permit is extra too.
Idagunji: the 16 seater, as suitcases need spare seats. It works out to ₹38,400 for 1,200 km at ₹32/km, and ₹2,400 allowance for the driver. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes, with care. It is a winding ghat through forest, so the tempo traveller drives it in daylight.
Only late night driving carries a driver night allowance. The quote lists it. Expect ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
October to February works best. The Jog ghat is dry, the falls keep some water until about December, and coastal days are mild. From June to September Honnavar is drenched, July most of all. March to May turns hot and sticky by the sea, so schedule the darshan for the cooler morning hours.
It is. Sleeping in Sagar halves the drive, and the second day is made of short hops: Jog in the morning, around 70 km of ghat to Honnavar, then 16 km to the temple. At the falls, elders can watch from the upper railings. Seat them at the front for the bends, and keep their tablets in a small bag at hand.
