Pickup at your door
The forest walk to the falls is nicest before the afternoon crowd arrives, so the cab comes for you at 7:30 am. Iruppu is about 125 km from Mysore, two and a half hours of easy road. If anyone in the family collects crafts, Mysore is known for rosewood inlay work and gold leaf Mysore paintings, a shopping plan for the day you get back. From the ring road the car heads out on the Hunsur road.
Breakfast and the split
Hunsur is breakfast, fifteen minutes for idli and coffee about an hour out of Mysore. It is also the point where the routes split: state highways SH 86 and SH 90 begin here, and the road for Kutta and Iruppu leaves the Kushalnagar highway, so the car turns south west. The town sits on the Lakshmana Tirtha river with tobacco fields all round. Titimathi and its forest are about 30 km ahead.
Through the forest
At Titimathi the road crosses a belt of forest on the outer edge of the Nagarhole range. Spotted deer and peacocks are common in the morning, and elephants sometimes cross, so the car keeps going and nobody steps out. Iruppu itself lies in forest country of the same kind, which is why the falls keep strictly to daylight hours. After the trees, coffee estates begin and Gonikoppal is 15 km on.
Coffee town
Gonikoppal is the trading town of south Kodagu, where the Iruppu road branches south through Srimangala towards Kutta. A ten minute stop for coffee and the restroom is optional; the falls have only basic facilities. Shops sell estate coffee powder and pepper, better bought on the way back. The falls are about 35 km further on, roughly forty five minutes. If the family wants a proper breakfast instead of the Hunsur stop, a couple of hotels here serve a full plate, but most people simply buy coffee.
Estate country
Srimangala is a small town among coffee estates, close to the Kerala border, and the car simply rolls through. The road becomes narrower after the town, winding past pepper vines that climb the shade trees. The turn for Iruppu comes soon after Srimangala; Kutta, the last village towards Kerala, is about 10 km from the falls. The parking is about 15 km on. Drive slowly here in the late afternoon, because the forest close by is home to elephants and the light fades early under the trees.
Drop at the falls entry
The cab parks at the entry to the falls, and from there a forest path of about 1 km leads to the water. The gate opens only in daylight, roughly from 6 or 8 am to 6 pm, and the forest department collects an entry fee there. In the monsoon, leeches wait on wet grass, so wear closed shoes. Bags can stay locked in the car with the driver while you walk.

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.

The falls lie about 125 km from Mysore, near 250 km for a return trip. A car takes the Hunsur road, crosses the Titimathi forest, passes Gonikoppal and Srimangala, and ends at the falls entry near Kutta. Cab time is around 2.5 hours with a breakfast stop.
Innova Crysta. All cars on cab rental in Mysore.
No. Driver allowance, GST, tolls and parking are extra at cost. One day, 300 km: Dzire ₹4,000 Etios ₹4,600 Innova ₹5,800 Crysta ₹6,400.
If the return runs late at night, the driver gets a night allowance. The quote lists it. Expect ₹400 a night.
Yes, on request. One way is ₹2 more per km than a return, and the km and allowance come as a written quote.
Yes. Return via Periyapatna and the Golden Temple; it adds roughly 40 km.
Yes, the road stays open, and the falls are at their fullest. Expect a slower drive in heavy rain, wet forest paths and leeches on the grass, so carry closed shoes and salt. Kodagu roads have unmarked speed breakers, which the driver knows well. Start early, because the gate closes around 6 pm.
We avoid it. Elephants can be on the road near Kutta at dusk, and the Titimathi forest comes after that, so a night drive is slow and risky. We suggest leaving the falls by about 4 pm, which brings the car through the forest in daylight and back to Mysore by evening.
