One gate for the bus
Forty passengers gather at one gate at 6:30 am, at a spot where a coach can turn without blocking a street, such as a school ground or a hall on the western side of the city. Bags and picnic boxes go into the hold, and a coordinator ticks off the names at the door. Iruppu lies about 125 km away, so with a breakfast halt and a tea halt the bus needs around three and a half hours. Diesel is filled the evening before, saving a stop on the way.

Breakfast halt
For a coach party, Hunsur is breakfast. Its larger roadside eateries take forty people at once, and with everyone ordering idli, vada and coffee the halt, toilets included, fits into thirty five minutes. Nagarhole's forest office works from this town, a hint that much of the road ahead skirts forest. Once the coordinator has counted heads, the bus leaves the Kushalnagar highway and follows the quieter road for Titimathi and Gonikoppal.

Forest stretch
Titimathi brings the first forest of the day, a belt of trees on the outer edge of the Nagarhole range, and the bus crosses it at a slow, steady pace without stopping anywhere. Elephants often cross this road, and deer graze close to the verge, so nobody stands at the door or leans out for photos. There are no shops or tea stalls inside the forest. Coffee estates begin again after a few minutes, and Gonikoppal is about 15 km further.

Tea and head count
The coffee town of Gonikoppal, the busiest place in south Kodagu, is the bus's second halt, twenty minutes for tea and the last decent toilets before Iruppu. Kerala bound buses leave from here for Kannur and Kozhikode, so a member who must go home early can catch one. Packets of estate coffee are sold along the main road for the return trip. With about 35 km left to the falls, the coordinator takes a final count.

Narrow estate road
Srimangala is a small plantation town near the Kerala border, and the bus rolls through it at a crawl. Beyond the town the road narrows and twists through coffee estates, with pepper vines hanging from the shade trees, so the driver gives way to oncoming traffic on each bend. The turning for the falls comes a little after Srimangala, and the parking is about 15 km on. The coordinator should now remind everyone about water and shoes for the walk.

Group drop at the entry
At Iruppu the bus parks near the entrance, and the group walks roughly 1 km along a shaded forest trail to the water. Forest staff take an entry fee at the gate, which stays open only during daylight, from about 6 or 8 am until 6 pm. Ask people to go in small batches so the narrow trail does not jam, and to bring every bit of plastic back out. Fix a single time for all forty to be back at the bus. Big groups should walk in small batches so the path does not jam.

For a coach the falls are about 125 km away, near 250 km for the full return. The bus runs by Hunsur and the Titimathi forest to Gonikoppal, then takes the narrow estate road past Srimangala. Forty people with breakfast and tea halts should allow around 3.5 hours.
Yes, ask us. A one way bus is quoted ₹2 a km above the return rate, as a written quote before payment.
From August to January the falls are full. In peak monsoon the path may be closed.
The Titimathi forest road has elephants crossing, so we drive it by day. A late night run adds the driver night bata from the vehicle rate card, shown on the quote. ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night is the bus rate.
They are extra. One day, 300 km, 49 seater: ₹17,200 hire and ₹1,000 driver bata. Tolls, parking and GST come at actual cost.
The 40 seater. Sizes on bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, buses park near the entry, but the last stretch after Srimangala is narrow and winding, so the driver goes slowly and gives way on bends. Very large coaches take longer here. In the monsoon the road is wet, so we allow extra time. The forest path from the parking is about 1 km on foot.
We avoid it. The falls close around 6 pm, and elephants can be on the road near Kutta at dusk, with the Titimathi forest after that. A bus with forty people should leave the falls by about 4 pm, clear the forest in daylight and reach Mysore by evening.
