Group pickup
The tempo traveller can collect your group at one hotel near the palace, Mysore railway station or the city bus stand, so pick one meeting point for everyone. Leave by 6:30. In Dasara, in September or October, the city is packed and roads close for the processions, so on those days start earlier still and check the traffic advisory the evening before. The van joins the expressway; Srirangapatna is 15 km out, and the whole run to the birds is about 80 km. Tripods and camera bags go in the back, not on the seats.

Palace halt
Srirangapatna has Tipu Sultan's summer palace, Daria Daulat Bagh, a teak building from 1784 with painted walls, set in a lawn garden about a kilometre off the highway. It opens around 9 am and shuts by 5 pm, so on a bird morning the palace fits better on the way back, after lunch. The van parks outside the garden gate. Small stalls near the main temple sell souvenirs if someone wants a quick look. Otherwise keep rolling; the toll for the Mysore half of the expressway is paid at Gananguru near here.

Breakfast
Mandya, about 45 km from Mysore, is the breakfast stop for a group that left without eating. This is a sugarcane district, so a glass of fresh cane juice from a roadside stall goes well after idli and coffee. Twenty minutes lets fifteen people order, eat and use the restroom. Melukote, the temple town on the hill, is about 25 km away and makes a separate day out. Mandya town sits at about 678 m and stays warm by mid morning, so refill water bottles before the last 35 km.

Drive on
Maddur is the turn for Kokkarebellur, and the branch road from the highway runs about 12 km to the village. The town is a tender coconut market, with lorries of coconuts leaving every day for other states, so a coconut each is the easy snack. The Shimsha river runs through town, which is why people also call it Madduru Hole. The van takes the expressway exit and stops ten minutes. Tell the driver now if the group wants a different drop point in the village, because the branch road is narrow.

Village edge
Kokkarebellur village is small, and the tempo traveller stops at its edge so the group walks in without blocking anyone. Painted storks and spot billed pelicans nest in the trees of the houses and fields, and the villagers protect them, so move quietly and in small groups. The driver waits with the van while you walk, as the page promises. Food is only tea from village shops; carry packed lunch for the whole group. Keep about an hour and a half, then head back with time for Srirangapatna.

It is about 80 km one way from Mysore to Kokkarebellur and about 160 km there and back. The tempo traveller runs on the expressway through Srirangapatna, Mandya and Maddur, then turns onto the branch road to the village. With a breakfast halt it takes about 1.5 hours, which leaves the whole morning for the birds.

The painted storks and pelicans arrive after the monsoon, around September, lay eggs in October and November and feed their chicks until about March. For a photography group, December to February usually shows the most activity in the nests. They leave around May, so a summer trip often finds the trees nearly empty.
The tempo traveller has a luggage space at the back, and we keep tripods and big camera bags there so the aisle stays clear. Carry one small bag each into the village. The driver stays with the van while you walk, so you can leave spare lenses and lunch boxes inside without worry.
