Group boarding
Twenty relatives board at 5:30 from their homes, the railway station or a hotel near the palace, and the mini bus sets off north. Relatives visiting from north India should know that Kannada rules on this road and Hindi is rarely understood away from tourist places, so our driver handles the talking at halts. The mini bus keeps to the expressway only up to Srirangapatna, then branches left at Pandavapura for KR Pet. Plan on about nine and a half hours to Kollur.

Breakfast
KR Pet, 55 km from Mysore, is the breakfast halt for the group. The town has a large coconut market on Mondays, so the main road can be busy that day. Ragi mudde with naati koli saaru is the farm meal of this Mandya region, more a lunch on the way home than a breakfast. Thirty minutes covers twenty people. Channarayapatna is about 40 km on. A temple group may like the Hosaholalu temple, 2 km west, on the return.

Tea
The group's tea halt is Channarayapatna, about 95 km out, where the mini bus pulls into a highway hotel on NH75 for fifteen minutes. Sugarcane and coconut farms surround the town, which takes its name from the old Chennigaraya temple of Vishnu. Close by, Anekere village keeps a Chennakeshava temple of Hoysala times, good for a temple group on a slower plan. Count heads before leaving; Arsikere is 60 km on and lunch at Shivamogga after that.

Tea
At Arsikere, 155 km from Mysore, the twenty travellers get fifteen minutes for tender coconut, the drink everyone reaches for in this palm belt. Dried coconut from these farms is sold at the Tiptur yard close by, where auctions run on two days a week. Anyone keen on village shrines might later visit the Devamma temple at T Kodihalli, around 10 km off. Then the mini bus picks up NH69 for the long run to Shivamogga, about 95 km away.

Lunch
The group stops for lunch in Shivamogga, Shimoga on old maps, after 250 km. Many kitchens in the district keep appe midi, a pickle of baby mangoes from around Sagar, and a jar is a welcome gift at home. For a return day, the Tyavarekoppa lion and tiger safari lies about 10 km from the city, shut on Tuesdays. Forty five minutes for twenty. The road then turns for Hosanagara, about 65 km, and the climb to Kollur.

Tea
Hosanagara, 315 km from Mysore, is a small hill taluk town and the group's final stop before Kollur. The mini bus waits on the main road for fifteen minutes. Anyone hungry can try akki rotti or kadubu, the Malnad rice dishes served here. Humcha, a Jain pilgrim centre, lies in the same taluk. Beyond the town the road climbs into the Ghats and narrows for the last 50 km, so the driver goes slowly and everyone should use the restroom now.

Temple street drop
Nine and a half hours of driving bring the mini bus to Kollur, a temple village in the Western Ghats, and its size suits the narrow lanes, so it can stop close to the Mookambika temple. Everyone should be in traditional dress. Phones and cameras stay on board, since photographs are not allowed in the temple. Darshan is easiest early morning or in the evening, as the afternoon can have a break. Byndoor Mookambika Road railway station is about 20 km away.
Booking a Mysore to Kollur Mookambika mini bus for 20 relatives on a temple trip? It is the right size for the forest ghat and the narrow temple streets. We collect from homes in Mysuru, the railway station or a hotel near the palace. Book mini bus on rent in Mysore.

Kollur needs the 18 or 21 seater. Sizes on mini bus on rent in Mysore.

No. Tolls, parking and GST are charged extra. Kollur in a 20 seater, 3 days and 900 km, is ₹32,700 plus ₹2,100 driver bata.
It can. Dasara falls in September or October, and the city then has crowds, diversions and one way rules near the palace. A 5:30 am start avoids most of it, but we check the Mysore traffic advisory the day before and may move the pickup point. The road north is not affected.
Yes, with regular halts at KR Pet, Channarayapatna, Arsikere, Shivamogga and Hosanagara. Seat elders in the front rows, where the ride is steadier, and keep their medicines handy. At Kollur the mini bus drops close to the temple, so the walk is short.
