Pickup at one point
Fifty people board the bus at one known place, and the KSRTC suburban bus stand, where Irwin Road meets the Nilgiri road, is a landmark everyone finds. The coach waits on a side road nearby rather than inside the stand. We head towards Hunsur and turn at Bilikere for KR Nagar and Hassan. Kodachadri is about 385 km away, roughly nine and a half hours for a bus with halts, so the group boards around half past four.
Breakfast
At Hassan the bus stops 45 minutes for breakfast and diesel, about 120 km out. The driver picks a hotel where a full bus can turn, and kadubu and akki rotti are served in bulk. Hassan Junction is on the Mangalore and Mysore line, if anyone must join late by train. Count heads before boarding. The coach then leaves NH75 and heads north west for Chikmagalur, about 65 km away.
Lunch
Chikmagalur is the lunch town for the coach, about 185 km out. For fifty people the meal is booked by phone from Hassan, so plates are ready, and 70 minutes covers lunch and diesel. Estate coffee powder is sold along the main road. KSRTC buses from here go down the Charmadi ghat towards Dharmasthala, but our bus turns the other way, towards Bhadravathi and Shivamogga. Restrooms in the hotel are the best on this stretch, so everyone uses them.
Tea stop
Bhadravathi gets a twenty minute tea halt, about 250 km out. Tea for fifty takes time, so one round only, from two stalls if possible. The town lives by its steel plant and paper mill, and in the old quarter stands a Hoysala temple of Lakshmi Narasimha. Shivamogga is about 20 km on, and the coordinator does a headcount before the bus moves. Restrooms are near the fuel pumps on the highway.
Tea and fuel
In Shimoga (Shivamogga) the coach takes diesel at a pump with room for a bus, twenty minutes in all. The city lies on the Tunga at about 569 m. If the group returns this way on a Friday, note that the Shivappa Nayaka palace museum is shut that day. Most rain here falls from June to early October. Hosanagara is about 66 km ahead on a narrower road. The driver also checks tyres and brakes before the forest stretch.
Last shops
Hosanagara is the last town with shops before Kodachadri, so the coordinator makes sure everyone buys water and snacks during a twenty minute halt, one round of tea for the whole bus. The Ramachandrapura Mutt is close by. Kodachadri, at 1,343 m, is the highest point in Shivamogga district. From here the bus runs slowly on narrow roads to the base. After this halt nobody gets down until the base, so the restroom queue comes first.
Base village
The bus stops at the base village after roughly nine and a half hours from Mysore. From here only local jeeps go up the rough track, and fifty people need several of them, booked in advance through the homestays. Simple meals are served at the homestays near the base. Camping and campfires on the hill have been banned since January 2015. The coach waits at the base for the return.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

Kodachadri is about 385 km from Mysore, about 770 km there and back. The bus follows Hassan, Chikmagalur, Bhadravathi, Shivamogga and Hosanagara to the base village. With fifty people and meal halts, plan about 9.5 hours one way and two or three days in all.
No. Only local jeeps go up the last rough track. The bus waits at the base village.
The 49 seater seats everyone and leaves a few spare. Here it works out to ₹48,600 for 900 km at ₹54/km, plus ₹3,000 allowance for the driver. The full size list is on bus on rent in Mysore.
If the Kodachadri bus runs past 10 pm, the night allowance is ₹700 to ₹1,000 a night, by size.
A one way drop to Kodachadri is quoted on request, ₹2 a km above the return rate.
On the 385 km road to Kodachadri, GST, tolls, parking and permits are added at actuals.
The road from Shivamogga to Hosanagara is fine for a bus. After Hosanagara the roads to the base villages are narrower and slow for a coach, so the driver takes them in daylight. From the base, only jeeps go to the top, so the bus waits at the base village.
The jeep ride to the top is rough, so elders and very young children may stay at the base homestay with a coordinator. Seat elders near the front of the bus for the long drive. Keep warm clothes, water and snacks in hand bags, and buy supplies at Hosanagara, the last town with shops.
