Pickup for the group
One or two pickup points work well for the tempo traveller, say a relative's house and then Mysore Junction. The tempo traveller then takes the ring road to the T Narasipura road and heads south east. Kollegal is only about 60 km, so a relaxed start after breakfast is fine for a family function or a temple visit. If you want Mysore pak for the hosts in Kollegal, buy it the evening before, since most shops in the city close before 10 pm. Bags go in the back, and there is room for gift boxes.

Ring road
The outer ring road comes up about 6 km from the city centre. This loop, NH 275K, keeps the tempo traveller off the inner city streets, and the T Narasipura exit is one of the roads it meets. Nothing to stop for here; it is a junction, not a town. On Vijayadashami, vehicles coming in on the T Narasipura road have been barred from entering Mysore from 6 am to midnight, so a return on that day needs another plan. Roughly 54 km are left to Kollegal.

Drive on
Varuna is about 15 km out, a village the tempo traveller passes in a few minutes. With a dozen people on board it is better not to break the drive this early; the river town ahead makes a more useful first halt. Children can keep their seats and the elders get settled for the hour. If you need a restroom, tell the driver, and he will stop at a pump with proper facilities rather than on the roadside. T Narasipura is the next town, about 15 km on.

Temple and river
T Narasipura is a taluk town about 32 km from Mysore, and the river is the reason to stop. The Agasthyeshwara temple here is older than the better known Gunja Narasimha shrine, and the two share an annual jatra. The confluence of the Kaveri and the Kapila sits right beside them. A group of a dozen needs about twenty five minutes for darshan and footwear. Every three years a Kumbh Mela brings lakhs of bathers in February, so check the date if you travel then. Kollegal is around 30 km further.

Drop for the group
The tempo traveller reaches Kollegal in about an hour of driving, plus any temple halt. We drop the group at one address, a family home, a hall or a lodge, and the driver helps unload the bags. Kollegal is a taluk town of Chamarajanagar district, and the district plans to promote a Kollegal silk brand in the way Mysore silk is sold, so local sarees are a good gift to carry home. Mysore airport is about 60 km back if anyone flies out after the visit.
A family of 12 wanting a Mysore to Kollegal tempo traveller for a silk shopping day and the falls? Kollegal is known for its silk sarees, and the Shivanasamudra falls are close. We have been doing tempo traveller on rent in Mysore since 2009. The driver meets you at Mandakalli airport or any hotel in the city, in Mysuru city.

No. Tolls, parking, permits and GST are added at actual cost.
Some years, yes. A Kumbh Mela has been held at the T Narasipura confluence once in three years since 1989, in February, and lakhs of devotees come to bathe. On those days the town and the road through it get crowded and slow. We check the dates before your trip and, if it clashes, leave earlier so the tempo traveller clears the town before the crowds build.
Yes. The drive is about an hour on a plain road, with no ghat. Elders get the front rows, and the driver keeps a gentle pace through the villages. If you halt at T Narasipura, the shrine is close to where the vehicle parks, so there is little walking. Carry their medicines and water in a hand bag rather than in the luggage at the back.
