Pickup
Six in the morning, and the van reaches your first boarding point, perhaps a flat in Kuvempunagar, then a lodge near the palace. If cousins from the north are coming along, warn them that Kannada rules these hill roads and Hindi gets few replies outside tourist spots; the driver will help with menus and directions. Suitcases ride at the back, woollens on top. The van rolls west on the Hunsur highway and bears north onto SH57 at Bilikere.
Tea halt
Fifteen minutes at KR Nagar, around 40 km out, let the family drink tea and stretch. One evening back home, the KRS dam and the Brindavan garden make a fine family outing; from this town they lie about 25 km away, towards Mysore. The tea stalls near the bus station open early and serve fast. Holenarasipura is roughly 45 km further, and Hassan, the breakfast town, about 80 km. Keep the cups quick.
Drive through
No halt at Holenarasipura, close to 85 km from Mysore; the van simply drives through. Hassan, the breakfast town, is about 35 km on, well under an hour. The Hemavathi flows past this town, and the fields around it grow paddy, ragi and sugarcane. Our driver holds a steady pace on SH57, which carries far less traffic than the Hunsur highway, so the family can rest or watch the countryside go by.
Breakfast
At Hassan, near the 120 km mark, fifteen people have breakfast at a hotel where the van parks by the door. Sitting at about 950 m, the city has cool, fresh mornings even in April. Try kadubu with coconut chutney, or a plate of akki rotti, and a Malnad filter coffee. Allow half an hour. Then the van leaves NH75 and takes the north western road to Belur, roughly 40 km away.
Temple stop
Belur, close to 160 km out, deserves a full hour for a family. The Chennakeshava temple was built in the early 12th century; Karnataka Tourism dates it to 1117 AD, and since 2023 it has shared UNESCO World Heritage status with Halebidu and Somanathapura. Entry costs nothing, and shoes wait at the stand outside. The van finds a spot on the side road. From here Chikmagalur and lunch lie about 25 km on.
Lunch
Chikmagalur, near the 185 km mark, is lunch for the group at a hotel with room for fifteen together. The Ayyanakere lake, the Bhadra wildlife sanctuary and the Bhadra dam all lie in this district, ideas for a longer holiday. Malnad meals with akki rotti and filter coffee are on every menu. Diesel goes in here before the hill road. Kemmangundi is about 53 km on, most of it climbing.
Hill arrival
Five hours of driving, all halts counted, bring the tempo traveller up to Kemmangundi. The final section is a narrow road full of hairpin bends, which the driver climbs with care. By road the hill sits about 17 km from Lingadahalli and some 71 km from Shivamogga; train users should aim for Tarikere, Birur or Kadur, each roughly 33 km away. Rooms on the hill are limited, so reserve early and pack warm layers for the night.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

Expect roughly 240 km each way, close to 480 km in all. Our van runs SH57 through KR Nagar to Hassan, stops at Belur and Chikmagalur, then tackles the winding last stretch up the hill. With tea, breakfast, temple and lunch halts, driving takes about five hours.
It can be done. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
No. Out of state, the permit is extra too. Kemmangundi tolls, parking fees and GST are extra at the real cost.
Driving late at night means a night allowance for the driver. Expect ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Kemmangundi: the 16 seater, spare seats for the big bags. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore. For Kemmangundi it is ₹20,400 for 600 km at ₹32/km, and ₹1,200 driver bata.
Yes, on the second morning. Mullayanagiri is on the hills near Chikmagalur and the tempo traveller does it before the drive back.
From October to March the hill is cool and mostly clear, the best season for views; January and February are the driest. July, August and October bring the Chikmagalur hills their heaviest rain, and the climb turns slippery. Between March and May the hill stays pleasant while the plains below grow hot.
Yes. There is room in the back for one medium suitcase per traveller. Put sweaters, caps and rain jackets in a small seat bag, as the hill can turn cold and wet within minutes. Pick up snacks and drinking water in Chikmagalur before starting the climb.
