Group pickup
The tempo traveller comes to one meeting point, such as the bus stand or the railway station, or to your home if the street is wide. Fourteen people with weekend bags fit, and big suitcases go at the back. From the ring road the van turns onto the Hunsur road at Hinkal, where Mysore's first flyover opened in 2018. Kushalnagar is about two hours for a van with breakfast. If someone wants Mysore masala dosa, the one with red chutney inside, eat before leaving, as the first halt is 45 km away.
Breakfast
Hunsur is the breakfast halt, 45 km into the trip. The small hotels here are cheap and quick, so a van of twelve or fourteen is back on the road in about 20 minutes. Teak timber and tobacco keep the town going, and ICAR runs a tobacco research station here too. If someone in the group wants a safari later, the Anechowkur gate of Nagarhole is reached from Hunsur by SH 90. For Kushalnagar we stay on NH275 for about 40 km more.
Drive on
About 30 km after Hunsur the van passes Periyapatna, also called Piriyapatna. It is the last taluk headquarters of Mysore district on this road, and the Tibetan camps of Bylakuppe come under it. There is no need for a halt so soon after breakfast. North Nagarhole's Anechowkur side can also be reached from here by SH 21, if your plan has a forest day. Tell the group the Golden Temple is next, so they can decide whether to stop before Kushalnagar.
Golden Temple halt
Bylakuppe comes 10 km after Periyapatna and only about 6 km before Kushalnagar, so most van groups see the Golden Temple on the way in. The tempo traveller parks near Camp 4. Namdroling, the largest Nyingma monastery outside Tibet by most accounts, has about 3,000 monks. Keep 45 minutes to an hour. Eateries round the camps serve momos and thukpa if lunch falls here. Turn the prayer wheels clockwise and walk round the stupas the same way.
Hotel drop
Kushalnagar is about two hours from Mysore by tempo traveller, and the van drops the group at the hotel or homestay. The town has no railway, which is why its KSRTC bus station is busy with night buses from Mysore, Mangalore and Kerala, and the centre stays crowded late. For dinner, eateries serve both vegetarian meals and Kerala style fish and meat. Kanive, a village about 9 km north, has a hanging bridge over the Kaveri for a quiet evening walk.
Looking for a Mysore to Kushalnagar tempo traveller for family or friends, 9 to 20 people? The family stops when it wants. Pickup is at homes in Vijayanagar, Kuvempunagar or Hebbal or the city bus stand. Tejas Tours & Travels has run tempo traveller on rent in Mysore since 2009. Any address in Mysuru works for pickup. Some maps say Kodagu for Coorg.

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. 👍

Kushalnagar is about 90 km from Mysore, so about 180 km there and back. The tempo traveller goes out on the Hunsur road (NH275) through Hunsur, Periyapatna and Bylakuppe. A van takes about two hours with a breakfast halt at Hunsur, and about 45 minutes more if the group stops at the Golden Temple.
Driving late at night means a night allowance for the driver. You see it in the quote first. Night bata: ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Kushalnagar: the 16 seater, and the spare seats hold suitcases. Here it comes to ₹10,200 for 300 km at ₹32/km, plus ₹600 driver's allowance. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
No. Tolls, parking and GST are extra at actual cost. Out of state, the permit is extra too.
Yes. Bylakuppe is about 5 km before Kushalnagar; the tempo traveller stops there going or coming back.
It can be done. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
Days are pleasant, but mornings from November to February are cold for a group that starts early. Mysore's record low is 7.7 C, and Madikeri, about 30 km beyond Kushalnagar, drops to about 11 C in January. Pack jackets in the cabin, not in the luggage at the back, so people can reach them at the first halt.
It is possible, but daylight is better. Kodagu roads have speed breakers without markings, loaded lorries and animals crossing at night, and Kushalnagar town is busy late with night bus arrivals. If the group must leave after an evening programme, tell us early so the driver rests in the afternoon, and expect the return to Mysore to take longer than the morning drive.
