Coach pickup
Load the coach at a single open ground near the road to T Narasipura, so it can head out without the old city streets. Kolli Hills is about 285 km by the Kollegal and MM Hills route, around eight hours for a full bus. On Vijayadashami, the T Narasipura road has been closed to vehicles entering Mysore from 6 am to midnight, so do not plan the return for that date.
Breakfast and diesel
Kollegal is the coach's breakfast and diesel stop, about an hour and a half out. Forty minutes works for fifty with the order called in. The town is the starting point of NH 766 and its streets can take a bus. Chamarajanagar station is about 38 km away if anyone needs to join by train. Everyone should use the restrooms; the forest after Hanur has none. Ring the Mettur hotel from here with the lunch head count.
Last halt in Karnataka
The coach takes twenty minutes at Hanur for water and restrooms. Beyond it, the road through MM Hills to the Tamil Nadu border at Palar is closed at night to heavy vehicles with more than six wheels, from 9 pm to 6 am. We check how that applies to your coach before the date and plan the crossing for daylight. Palar is about 30 km short of Mettur. Leaders count heads before the bus moves.
Lunch for the coach
Lunch for fifty is at Mettur, an hour so the group can eat in batches. The dam across the Kaveri is the largest in Tamil Nadu, about 214 ft high. In summer, around May, a week long Mariamman festival crowds the town. The nearest airport to Mettur is Salem's. The coach then runs about 55 km to Salem on a good road. Ask the hotel to set two serving lines so fifty people finish in time.
Tea in Salem
At Salem the coach stops twenty minutes for tea and restrooms. The city is where traffic for Coimbatore and Kerala splits from the road to Madurai, so the driver keeps to the main highway. Salem is known for sago and mangoes, sold in bulk if the group wants to buy. Kolli Hills is about 75 km from here by the Rasipuram road. Fill the water cans here before the last leg.
Drive on
The coach passes Rasipuram, a small town about 45 km short of the hills. Long distance buses use the Andagalur gate on the highway instead of entering the town, and the coach does the same. Rasipuram is known for its ghee and silk. Leaders should use these minutes to brief everyone on the ghat ahead and seat anyone prone to travel sickness near the front. Keep the aisle clear of bags for the bends ahead.
Coach drop
The bus reaches the plateau about eight hours after pickup and drops the group at the stay, then parks where allowed. Kolli Hills stand at about 1,300 m on the Eastern Ghats, with coffee estates and fruit orchards on the slopes. Village buses run only as far as the main temple. Fix one meeting point and one time for the evening, and do a head count. Unload the hold before anyone goes to the rooms.
Thinking of Mysore to Kolli Hills bus hire for a college trek group or a company outing of 40? A full bus can climb the 70 hairpin bends, slowly, and keeps everyone on one plan. We board at a Mysuru campus gate, the city bus stand or a palace-area hotel. Ask for bus on rent in Mysore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

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.

Kolli Hills is about 285 km from Mysore, so the bus covers about 570 km for the round trip. The coach goes through Kollegal and Hanur, crosses to Mettur, then Salem and Rasipuram, and climbs the ghat. A full bus needs about eight hours with halts.
The 40 seater. A shorter bus is easier on the hairpins than a 50 seater. Sizes on bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, government buses use the ghat daily. It is slow, close to an hour, and we drive it only in daylight.
The Palar forest road and the Kolli ghat are not driven at night, so the plan keeps them in daylight. A late night run adds the driver night bata from the vehicle rate card, shown in your quote. That comes to ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night.
They are extra. Two days, 600 km, 49 seater: ₹34,400 hire and ₹2,000 driver bata. Tolls, Tamil Nadu entry tax, parking and GST come at actual cost.
Yes, on request. A one way bus is quoted ₹2 a km above the return rate, in writing before you pay anything.
September to February, when the weather is cooler and the hills green. March to May is very hot on the plains, and the bus leaves Mysore before dawn then. In heavy rain the ghat is slow. The forest crossing near the border is planned for daylight in every season.
Seat elders near the front and plan the halts: Kollegal, Hanur, Mettur and Salem, each with restrooms. Suitcases go in the hold, with only hand bags inside. Keep medicines, jackets and water in the hand bags. A head count at every halt keeps the group together.
