Pickup at your door
Kudremukh means a long day deep in the Western Ghats, roughly 260 km, so we send the car before dawn to wherever you are in Mysuru, a family home, a palace area hotel, Mysore Junction or the small airport at Mandakalli. A packet of hot Mysore bonda from an early tea stall is a good thing to keep in the car. The driver takes the Hassan state highway via KR Nagar rather than the busy Hunsur road. Allow about five hours, and pack rain gear whatever the month.
Drive on
A car usually rolls straight through KR Nagar, roughly 40 km from Mysore, because breakfast is planned at Holenarasipura further up the same road. If someone needs tea, the shops near the bus station are open early and five minutes is enough. The town lies in paddy country west of the KRS reservoir, at about 786 m. On the drive back, the Yedatore picnic spot on the Kaveri, about 4 km out on the Hassan road, is a pleasant place to stretch before the last hour home.
Breakfast and fuel
Breakfast for the cab is at Holenarasipura, a Hemavathi river town about 85 km out. Twenty minutes covers a plate of akki rotti and filter coffee, and the driver fills fuel. If you have five spare minutes, the Lakshmi Narasimha temple in town, from the 16th century, has three sanctums under one roof. Hassan is only about 30 to 35 km ahead, so this halt keeps the morning moving. The road beyond carries little traffic and runs between coconut and paddy fields.
Tea stop
Hassan is a quick ten minute tea halt for the cab, about 120 km from Mysore. The city sits at about 950 m, and the change in air is noticeable. In October or November the Hasanamba temple may be open for its yearly days around Deepavali, which fills the city, so the driver keeps to the bypass. Sakleshpur lies about 40 km west on NH75, but our road turns north west for Belur, where lunch is planned. Restrooms are at the bigger fuel stations.
Lunch
Belur is the lunch stop, about 160 km out. Small hotels near the Chennakeshava temple serve simple Malnad meals, and a family of four is done in thirty minutes. If you want to see the temple, its 38 bracket figures are the famous carvings, and entry is free. Belur is the highest town in Hassan district, at about 979 m, on the Yagachi river. Mudigere, the coffee town before the Kalasa road, is about 35 km ahead.
Tea stop
Coffee and pepper estates surround Mudigere, which stands at about 970 to 990 m, roughly 190 km into the drive. Ten minutes covers coffee and a restroom. The shops sell estate coffee powder and black pepper, light enough to carry. The Hemavathi, the river you crossed at Holenarasipura, has its source in this taluk near a village called Javali. About 16 km on, at Kottigehara, the car leaves the Charmadi highway for the narrower Kalasa road, which twists through estates for about 41 km.
Tea stop
The Bhadra loops round three sides of Kalasa, the last town before the park, about 240 km from Mysore. Stop ten minutes for tea; if you arrive early, akki rotti and kadubu are what the town eats for breakfast. Rainfall here passed 4,000 mm in 2024, so in the monsoon months umbrellas stay within reach. The township is only about 20 km further, and the national park begins around Kalasa, so the last stretch runs under forest.
Drop at your stay
The car drops you at your homestay after about five hours. Kudremukh township sits at about 815 m, an old iron ore mining town of about 2,241 people that grew quiet after the KIOCL mine closed in 2006. Most visitors stay in homestays around Kalasa and Kudremukh, so book before you leave Mysore. Meals are akki rotti and simple Malnad food. The hills here get about 7,000 mm of rain a year, so keep a change of clothes dry.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Kudremukh is about 260 km from Mysore one way, about 520 km round trip. The cab goes via KR Nagar, Holenarasipura and Hassan, then Belur, Mudigere and the Kalasa road. By car it takes about 5.5 to 6 hours with short halts.
They are extra. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
Yes. A Mysore to Kudremukh one way taxi is quoted on request.
An Innova or Innova Crysta. Six going to Kudremukh fit with bags. All our cars are on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes, a night bata for the driver applies after 10 pm. Kudremukh: it is on the quote, so no surprise. The cab night bata is ₹400.
Breakfast at Holenarasipura, about 85 km from Mysore and lunch at Belur, about 160 km out. With a car you can change this on the day.
The hills are at their greenest, but Kudremukh gets about 7,000 mm of rain a year, and the Kalasa road is slow and misty. Leeches are common on any walk. The drive is possible with care. For clear views and easier roads, come between October and February, when the grasslands are green and the rain has stopped.
It is about 520 km in all, which makes a very long day. If you must, leave Kudremukh by early afternoon so the forest road to Kalasa and the Kottigehara stretch are done in daylight. Most families stay a night in a homestay around Kalasa or Kudremukh and return next morning.
