Pickup at one point
A full bus boards at one place in Mysore, a hotel with a yard or a wide road near the station. During Dasara, private buses have been kept out of the city centre on festival days, so on those days we pick up outside the centre. The coach goes out on the Hunsur road and turns at Bilikere for KR Nagar and Holenarasipura. Kudremukh is about 260 km away, and a bus needs about seven hours with halts.

Tea stop
Fifty people at KR Nagar take time, so the coordinator splits the group between two tea shops and keeps the halt to twenty minutes. The town sits west of the KRS reservoir in paddy country. A fast KSRTC bus takes about 90 minutes from Mysore to here; our coach is a little quicker on the open road. Count heads by rows before moving. Holenarasipura, with breakfast and diesel, is about 45 km ahead.

Breakfast and fuel
At Holenarasipura the bus takes its first proper halt, 40 minutes for breakfast and diesel. The Hemavathi flows past the town. Give one meeting point and one return time to all fifty. Hassan district food is ragi mudde, akki rotti and filter coffee, and a hotel used to groups serves them fast. The road from here, SH57, carries much less traffic than the Hunsur road, which helps a coach keep time. Hassan is about 30 to 35 km on.

Tea stop
Hassan is a twenty minute tea and toilet break for the bus. Keep the order simple, since fifty at one counter is slow, and send half the group to the restrooms first. The city bus stand is busy with KSRTC Volvo services, so the coach uses a large fuel station on the bypass. From Hassan the route turns north west off NH75, and the next halt is lunch at Belur, about 38 km away.

Lunch
Lunch for the whole group is at Belur, in 50 minutes, at a hotel with space for a coach. The driver parks only at proper bays, never on the highway shoulder, because NH73, NH373 and SH57 all meet in this town and the roads are busy. The Chennakeshava temple is in the town centre if the group has ten minutes to spare. Mudigere is about 35 km on. Count heads before the coach leaves.

Tea stop
Mudigere is a twenty minute tea stop with coffee estates on both sides of the road. Tea stalls, toilets and fuel pumps are close together, which suits a big group. Do a head count before the bus moves. At Kottigehara, about 16 km on, the bus turns off for Kalasa, about 41 km of narrow road. The Charmadi ghat beyond Kottigehara has had heavy vehicle bans in past monsoons, but our route avoids it.

Tea stop
At Kalasa the bus halts twenty minutes for tea. Ask the group leader to collect everyone ten minutes before leaving, because the last stretch is slow. The road from Kalasa runs through forest and is narrow, so the coach crawls on bends and gives way to oncoming jeeps. Kudremukh township is about 20 km on. Kottigehara, where the Kalasa road began, is about 41 km back. Restrooms here are the last good ones before the township.

Drop at your stay
With these halts the bus takes around seven hours from Mysore. It drops the group at the homestays, then parks where coaches are allowed. Big groups usually split across homestays around Kalasa and Kudremukh, so share the room list with the driver. Inside the national park only forest department vehicles go to the trek point, so the bus waits outside. Rain is very heavy here, about 7,000 mm a year, so rain covers for bags are a must.
Planning Mysore to Kudremukh bus hire for a Western Ghats holiday, with 27 to 50 people? Halts are where a big bus can park; one coach, one driver. The driver comes to you in Mysuru, whether that is a hotel by the palace, the station or the bus stand. Kudremukh is also written Kuduremukha. Book through our bus on rent in Mysore page, or call us with your date.

Kudremukh is about 260 km from Mysore, about 520 km there and back. The bus follows SH57 to Hassan, then Belur, Mudigere and the Kalasa road. With fifty people and meal halts, plan about 7 hours one way, since the forest road after Kalasa is slow.
Sure. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
In the bus or in drivers' rooms near your hotel. His daily allowance covers it.
Not included. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
If the bus drives after 10 pm, a night bata for the driver goes on the bill. Your quote shows the amount, as does the bus rental page. The bus night bata is ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size.
The 45 seater works; lots of luggage means the 49 or 50 seater. See every size on bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, the bus can reach the township by the Kalasa road, slowly. The road from Kottigehara is narrow and winding. Inside the national park only forest department vehicles go to the trek point, so the bus waits outside and the group goes in with the forest team.
Seat elders near the front door, where the ride on the bends is smoother. Name two adults to look after the children at each halt. Keep warm clothes and rain gear in hand bags. Homestays are spread out, so the coordinator should have a list of who stays where before the bus reaches Kalasa.
