Family pickup
The tempo traveller arrives at 7 am, which gives the family the cool part of the day at the falls. Iruppu is about 125 km away, roughly three hours with halts. Families who love a market can plan Devaraja market, near Mysore railway station, for the return evening; its flower, fruit and kumkum stalls deserve about an hour. Bags and a picnic box go into the rear, and the van heads for the Hunsur road.

Family breakfast
About an hour after setting off, the van rolls into Hunsur, and the family sits down to idli, dosa and strong coffee. Twenty minutes is enough for food and toilets. Some 12 km from the town lies Gurupura, home of the Rabgayling Tibetan settlement with three monasteries founded in 1971, a gentle outing for another weekend. When everyone is back in, the van leaves the Coorg highway and takes the quieter road towards Kutta and Iruppu, with Titimathi about 30 km on.

Forest drive
Titimathi is a stretch of thick woodland on the rim of the Nagarhole range, and children press their noses to the glass hoping for deer, monkeys or a peacock. The van does not halt anywhere in it, because wild elephants wander across the road from time to time and stepping out would be dangerous. Ask the children to keep their voices low and their hands inside. In ten minutes or so the forest opens out into coffee estates, and Gonikoppal is about 15 km further.

Tea and restroom
Gonikoppal is the shopping town for the south of Kodagu, and the family stops fifteen minutes for tea and a clean restroom, the last good one before the falls. Older children might enjoy knowing that the Barapole river close by is used for white water rafting during the monsoon. Estate coffee powder and black pepper fill the shop shelves, but it is easier to buy them on the way back. From here the falls are about 35 km away, through Srimangala.

Through Srimangala
Srimangala is a little estate town near the Kerala border, and the van passes straight through it. After the town the road shrinks to a narrower lane that twists between coffee bushes, with pepper vines climbing the tall shade trees on both sides, so the driver slows right down. The turning for the falls comes shortly after Srimangala, and the parking is about 15 km on. This is the moment to hand out caps and fill water bottles for the walk.

Falls entry drop
The van parks at the falls entry, and the family walks a forest path of about 1 km to the water, an easy walk for most children. The falls are open in daylight only, roughly 6 or 8 am to 6 pm, and an entry fee is paid at the gate. On Shivaratri the place is crowded with pilgrims, so choose another day for a quiet visit. Carry snacks and take all plastic back.

One way to Iruppu is close to 125 km, so the round trip is roughly 250 km. Our van leaves by Hunsur, runs through the forest at Titimathi, and passes Gonikoppal and Srimangala on the estate road to the falls. A family with halts needs about 3 hours.
The 14 seater. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes. Book the forest department safari early; the van takes you to the gate.
Yes, ask us. One way is ₹2 more per km than a return, with the km fixed in the written quote.
Only if the driver drives late at night; then a night allowance is added. You see it in the quote first. Night bata: ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Not included. Tolls, parking and GST at actual. One day, 300 km in a 12 seater comes to ₹7,800 at ₹24/km, with ₹500 to the driver.
Only if the family wants the festival. On Shivaratri pilgrims crowd the temple and the falls, the parking fills early and the forest path is slow. For a calm visit with children, pick another day, ideally a weekday from October to February when the water is still good and the path is dry.
We plan the return in daylight instead. Elephants can be on the road near Kutta at dusk, and the Titimathi forest stretch follows. Leave the falls by about 4 pm, and children can nap in the van while it is still light outside. Keep a pillow and a blanket for each child in the van for the ride home.
