Family pickup
The tempo traveller arrives at 5:30 at your home, a hotel in Mysuru or Mandakalli airport, and the family of twelve loads the bags at the back. In December and January, Mysore mornings can be surprisingly cold, with lows near 8 C, so keep a shawl at hand for the first hour. The van follows NH275 to Srirangapatna, then forks at Pandavapura for KR Pet. Kollur is about nine hours away, so the family reaches the temple town by mid afternoon.
Breakfast
KR Pet, 55 km from Mysore, is the van's breakfast halt. Roadside stalls in this part of Mandya district press fresh sugarcane juice, a sweet treat for the children after breakfast. The 12th century Brahmeshvara temple at Kikkeri, about 14 km away on the Mysuru to Hassan highway, is a quieter Hoysala temple for another day. Twenty five minutes is enough for twelve people. The van then heads for Channarayapatna, about 40 km on.
Tea and restroom
Channarayapatna, 95 km out, gives the family fifteen minutes for tea and the restroom. Highway hotels on NH75 have room for the van. The Kadabahalli toll plaza collects on this stretch of NH75, and the FASTag on the van pays it. Vehicles with KA 13 number plates are from Hassan district, so you will see many. Arsikere is 60 km ahead, and the lunch halt at Shivamogga comes after that.
Tea
Arsikere, 155 km from Mysore, is a railway junction where more than 120 trains stop each day. The van halts fifteen minutes for tea and tender coconut. The town is at about 806 to 812 m, and the Malekallu Tirupati hill temple, with about 1,300 steps, is 3 km away, a climb for another trip. From here NH69 runs to Shivamogga, about 95 km on. Children can nap on this long, straight leg.
Lunch
After 250 km the van reaches Shivamogga, still Shimoga on many signboards, and the family breaks for lunch. The district trades in areca nut, and lorries of it are common on these roads. Sakrebailu elephant camp is about 14 km out on the Thirthahalli road, but its elephant bath is a morning event, so it suits a return day with an early start. Give lunch forty minutes. The road onward to Hosanagara and Kollur, 115 km, is narrower and greener.
Tea
Hosanagara, a small Malnad taluk town 315 km from Mysore, gives the family a final fifteen minute break before the hill road. Ask at the eating places for akki rotti or kadubu, the rice flatbread and steamed dumplings of the region. Humcha, a Jain pilgrim centre, belongs to this taluk too, though it is off our road. Shivamogga is about 65 km behind. Kollur is 50 km ahead on a narrow, curving road, so this is the place for the children's restroom stop.
Arrival
Nine hours after leaving Mysore the van pulls into Kollur, the Mookambika temple village in the Western Ghats of Udupi district. The driver lets the family off near the temple and finds parking where the street widens. Elders and children should wear traditional clothes for darshan. Phones and cameras stay in the van, since photography is barred inside. If anyone takes a train home, Byndoor Mookambika Road station is about 20 km down towards the coast.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

About 365 km one way from Mysore, or roughly 730 km there and back. The tempo traveller runs via KR Pet, Channarayapatna and Arsikere to Shivamogga (Shimoga), then Hosanagara and the hill road to Kollur. With breakfast, lunch and tea halts it takes about 9 hours.
We can, on request. A Kollur one way van costs the return rate plus ₹2 a km.
Temple guest houses and private lodges near the temple. Book early for festivals.
The 12 seater, or 16 for more room. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Separate, for Kollur; those are not in the fare. The 12 seater for 3 days, 900 km is ₹23,400 and our driver bata is ₹1,800. Then parking, tolls and GST.
Night allowance on the Kollur Mookambika run applies after 10 pm: ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
October to March is the pleasant season. From June to early October the Shivamogga and Malnad side gets heavy rain, the hill road beyond Hosanagara is wet and slower, and the temple town is damp. Summer days are warm but the road is clear.
One medium bag each fits at the back of the van. Pack one set of traditional clothes per person for darshan and keep it on top. Carry an umbrella in the rainy months, and keep medicines and snacks in hand bags for the nine hour drive.
