Group pickup
Twenty people, one gathering point, 5:30 am: the mini bus waits outside a hall, a school gate or an apartment block in Mysuru. December mornings can surprise visitors, since this plateau city has dipped to about 8 C, so a sweater on the seat is wise. Luggage rides at the back, umbrellas and water bottles up front. We roll out on the Hunsur highway and fork right for SH57 at the Bilikere gantry. Expect KR Nagar after roughly 40 km.

Optional tea
KR Nagar, about 40 km out, is an optional tea halt for the mini bus. The town was built in the 1920s and 1930s after floods damaged old Yedatore on the Kaveri, and it was named after Krishnaraja Wodeyar. If twenty people need tea, the stalls near the bus station can manage it in ten minutes. Holenarasipura is about 45 km on, and Hassan, the breakfast stop, comes after that.

Breakfast
Hassan is the breakfast stop, about 120 km out. The driver calls ahead so plates for twenty are ready. Kadubu with coconut chutney and filter coffee are served fast. Hassan is best from October to March, with days between 15 and 28 C; June to September brings heavy rain. Hassan Junction station is on the Mysore to Mangalore line if anyone joins late by train. Half an hour, then Kadur.

Restroom halt
Kadur, near the 200 km mark, gives twenty people a quarter of an hour for tea and washrooms. It ran its own district as headquarters until 1865 and today ranks second in size among the towns of Chikmagalur district. The mini bus halts close to the state bus stand where stalls are many. Bhadravathi comes next on the highway, then the Shivamogga lunch about 75 km away; Jog itself is roughly 180 km on.

Lunch
Shivamogga (Shimoga), near the 275 km mark, is lunch for the mini bus in a dining hall where all twenty sit together. Allow three quarters of an hour for the meal and a roll call. Members planning a longer Malnad holiday sometimes ask about the Sringeri and Udupi road branching off here; Thirthahalli is about 60 km along it and Agumbe roughly 90 km. Diesel goes in before Sagar, around 75 km away through areca and paddy.

Tea halt
At Sagar, around 350 km along, the group gets twenty minutes for tea before the falls. Sagar is the hub of this corner: Sagara Jambagaru station has express trains, and the nearest airport, at Shivamogga, is about 78 km back. The mini bus stands on the main road. Appe midi pickle is the souvenir most people buy. From here NH69 covers about 30 km to Jog, mostly through forest and areca gardens.

Falls arrival
Allowing for halts, the mini bus needs about eight and a half hours to reach the Jog parking from Mysore. Entry and parking are paid at the gate; the charges change, so the driver checks on the day. Settle one meeting point and a return time for all twenty before the group spreads out. The 1,400 step stairway to the base is only for fit walkers. July and August bring the fullest water and the busiest weekends.

From Mysore the falls are about 380 km away, so the round trip runs close to 760 km. Our mini bus heads up SH57 through KR Nagar to Hassan, then on to Kadur, Shivamogga and Sagar before the last forest stretch. Driving time, breakfast, lunch and tea halts included, works out near eight and a half hours one way.
Yes, at the main parking near the viewpoint. On monsoon weekends, reach before 10 am.
Jog Falls with up to 16: the 16 seater; about 20: the 20 seater; For 22 to 25: the 22 or 25 seater. Every size is on our mini bus on rent in Mysore page.
Late driving after 10 pm carries a night bata, listed in the quote before you book. It is ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night for the mini bus.
Sure. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
No, they are separate. Tolls, parking, permits and GST are added at actual cost.
For the biggest flow, July and August. For decent water with fewer downpours, late August through December. Monsoon weekends pack the car park and the railings, so weekdays suit a group better. Between January and May the Sharavathi runs low and the falls look thin. Book a night in Sagar so the group is not rushed.
Plan one suitcase of moderate size for each traveller; those travel in the rear rack. Raincoats, a towel and dry socks belong in a cloth bag by your feet, since spray and rain soak the railings. Snacks and drinking water are best bought in Sagar before the last leg, because the stalls near the falls are few.
