Pickup at one point
Twenty people meet the mini bus at one spot, a hotel lobby, the junction station or the city bus stand, and leave together at about five. On this road the tea counters speak Kannada, and Hindi is understood mainly at tourist spots, so groups from the north can leave the ordering to our driver. The bus heads out towards Hunsur, then turns north at Bilikere for KR Nagar and Hassan. Kodachadri is about 385 km away, close to eight and a half hours for a mini bus with halts.
Breakfast
Breakfast for twenty is at Hassan, about 120 km out, and 35 minutes covers food, restrooms and diesel. One person ordering for all keeps it quick, and akki rotti with Malnad filter coffee arrives fast. October to March is the pleasant season here, between about 15 and 28 C. After the meal the mini bus leaves NH75 and climbs north west on the road to Chikmagalur and the coffee estates.
Lunch
Lunch for twenty is booked ahead in Chikmagalur, about 185 km out, and the group keeps 50 minutes. Malnad cooking means akki rotti and kadubu with rice. The town has a rail line only to Kadur, so the rest of the trip is by road. Rain here averages about 937 mm a year, heaviest in October, August and July, and the next stretch towards Bhadravathi, about 65 km, is slower in those months.
Tea stop
The mini bus stops twenty minutes at Bhadravathi for tea and restrooms, roughly 250 km from Mysore. The Bhadra dam at Lakkavalli is about 18 to 20 km from town, and in the old town a Hoysala Lakshmi Narasimha temple of about 1250 CE has three shrines. Another Hoysala shrine, the Amruteshwara near Tarikere, lies in the same area for a slower return. Shivamogga is about 20 km on. Restrooms at the tea halt are basic but clean enough.
Tea and fuel
Twenty minutes in Shimoga (Shivamogga) for tea and diesel. The city sits on the Tunga and trades heavily in areca nut. Its airport lies about 13 km south of town, useful if anyone in the group must fly home early. Thirthahalli is about 60 km away on a different road. The mini bus takes the Hosanagara road instead, about 66 km, and the forest begins soon after. The driver checks tyres here before the hill roads.
Last shops
Hosanagara is the last place with shops, about 340 km out, so the group buys water, snacks and torches during a twenty minute halt. Nagodi, one of the base villages, lies about 15 km from the peak in this taluk. Kollur is about 60 km away on the coastal side. From here the mini bus moves slowly along narrower forest roads, and everyone stays seated. A torch for each family helps at the homestay tonight.
Base village
After about eight and a half hours the mini bus reaches the base village and parks. Only jeeps use the rough track to the top, so twenty people need several jeeps, booked through the homestay. Camping on the hill has been banned since January 2015, and homestays near the base serve simple meals. Toilets at the base camp are basic, so use the homestay. Keep the group list handy for the jeep allotment.

The drive is about 385 km one way, about 770 km in all, via Hassan, Chikmagalur, Bhadravathi, Shivamogga and Hosanagara. A mini bus needs about 9 to 9.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts, so the trip takes at least two days.
Only late night driving carries a driver night allowance. It is shown in the quote. Our card says ₹600 to ₹700, by size per night.
The 25 seater, with room for luggage. This trip comes to ₹34,500 for 900 km at ₹36/km, plus ₹2,100 driver's allowance. See every size on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
On request, yes. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
Not included. GST, tolls, parking and any permit are charged at actual.
Yes. Kollur is close by. Many groups do the temple in the evening and the peak next morning, with the mini bus staying with them.
October to March suits a group best, with dry roads and clear views. In the monsoon, June to early October, heavy rain slows the forest roads near Hosanagara and the jeep track, and some days the jeeps do not run. We check with the base before each trip in those months.
We avoid night driving on the forest roads after Hosanagara. The mini bus leaves Mysore at five and reaches the base village by afternoon. On the return, we leave after the morning jeep ride and cover the forest stretch in daylight. The highway from Shivamogga to Hassan and Mysore is easier in the evening.
