One boarding point
Forty or fifty people board at 5:30 am at one spot where a coach can stand and turn. Do not plan the meeting at the Town Hall multi level car park near the palace, since it admits cars only; an open ground or a hall yard works better. Suitcases travel in the hold, sweaters in hand bags. The coach leaves along the Hunsur road and turns north onto SH57 at Bilikere. Kemmangundi is about six hours away for a full bus.

Tea halt
At KR Nagar, around 40 km from Mysore, fifty people get twenty minutes for tea while the coach waits on the main road. On the drive home a group with time can see Ramanahalli, a village beside the KRS backwaters about 4 km from town. Tea shops here also sell karjoora, a small date cake from the villages, and Osmania biscuits. Hassan, where breakfast is planned, lies about 80 km on.

Drive through
The coach rolls through Holenarasipura, roughly 85 km out, without stopping. Jain groups might plan the Neminatha Basadi here for another trip; the shrine is dated to 915 AD and linked with Chavundaraya. SH57 through the town is quiet and wide enough for a full size bus, and the Hemavathi runs alongside. Hassan lies about 35 km ahead, where the whole group will eat breakfast. Keep everyone seated till then.

Breakfast
Breakfast for the coach is at Hassan, near the 120 km mark. We book a hotel with an open forecourt, and fifty people eat in two batches while the rest stretch. About 22 km away, the Shettihalli church, built by French missionaries in the 1860s, rises from the Gorur backwaters and stands half under water from about July to October. Allow forty five minutes including a count. Belur is roughly 40 km on.

Temple stop
Belur, about 160 km from Mysore, is a ninety minute stop for fifty. The coach parks near the temple, and everyone leaves footwear in the bus or at the stand. The town sits on the Yagachi at about 979 m, the highest in Hassan district, and every March it hosts the Hoysala Mahotsava with Halebidu. Settle on one meeting point at the gate. Chikmagalur and lunch are about 25 km further.

Lunch for fifty
Chikmagalur, close to 185 km out, is lunch for the coach in a hotel with a dining hall. An hour covers fifty plates and a count. Coffee powder and black pepper from the estates are the town's best buys. Kemmangundi is about 53 km by road, the final part a narrow climb. Fill water bottles and use the washrooms here, since facilities on the hill are limited, and get the group seated quickly for the climb.

Hill road
The bus reaches Kemmangundi after about six hours of driving with halts. The last stretch is a narrow hill road with hairpins; the coach goes up slowly, and on booking we confirm where a full size bus can park on the hill. If the road is not suitable on the day, a smaller vehicle does the final climb. Kemmangundi stands at about 1,434 m, so nights are cold. Carry a torch for the evening.
Looking at Mysore to Kemmangundi bus hire for a big group of 30 to 50? One bus, one driver and one pickup at the city bus stand or hotels on JLB Road and Nazarbad: that is how we run it for big groups. Chikmagalur is also written Chikkamagaluru. We have offered bus on rent in Mysore since 2009. Any address in Mysuru works for pickup.

By road the hill station sits about 240 km from Mysore, close to 480 km for the round trip. A coach follows SH57 to Hassan, then Belur and Chikmagalur, before the narrow 53 km climb. Fifty people with meal and temple halts need about six hours of driving.
The driver gets a night allowance when the drive goes late into the night. The quote lists it. Per night it is ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size.
Yes, slowly. The last part is a narrow hill road with hairpin bends, so the bus goes up in daylight and comes down before dark.

The road is narrow with hairpins in the last stretch. A full size coach goes up slowly in daylight, and on booking we confirm where it can park on the hill; on rainy or crowded days a smaller vehicle may take the group for the final climb. From July to October the hill road is wet.
Leave Mysore at 5:30 am, breakfast at Hassan, ninety minutes at Belur and lunch at Chikmagalur, then the climb. Book rooms early, since the hill has few. One coordinator keeps the name list. Everyone should carry a sweater, a cap and water, and wear shoes with grip for the hill walks.
