Group boarding
Twenty travellers meet the mini bus at 5:30 at their chosen hotel or at the Suburban bus stand on Irwin Road. For the last evening back in town, Mysore pak, the gram flour sweet rich with ghee, is sold everywhere and travels well for friends at home. Our driver takes NH275 as far as the Kaveri crossing and then uses the Pandavapura road towards KR Pet. Sirsi, the first night's stop, lies some 395 km north west, so this is a long day.
Breakfast
The group eats breakfast at KR Pet, 55 km out, and thirty minutes covers twenty plates when the driver phones the hotel ahead from the road. A heritage group could later visit the Panchalingeshwara temple at Govindanahalli nearby, where five shrines stand in a single row. Monday mornings can be slow, because the town's coconut market fills the main road. After breakfast the mini bus heads on by Channarayapatna to Arsikere, about 85 km.
Tea
Arsikere, 140 km from Mysore, is the group's fifteen minute tea halt. More than a hundred trains a day stop at this junction town, and coconut groves surround it on every side. About 2 km from the centre, at Jajur, there is a Veerabhadra Swami temple for anyone curious. The mini bus takes diesel here, because NH69 to Shivamogga is a long open run of about 105 km with few good pumps.
Lunch
Lunch for the twenty is in Shivamogga, Shimoga on most signboards, at 245 km. Forty five minutes is enough in a hotel with a hall. In the wettest months, roughly June to the start of October, the hill roads after lunch need more time. Animal lovers in the group may enjoy the Tyavarekoppa safari on a return day, though it is shut every Tuesday. Sagar is about 75 km ahead, with Sirsi about 150 km, so the driver keeps the halt on time.
Tea
Sagar, 320 km out, gives the group twenty minutes of tea. The town's traders deal in areca, pepper, clove and nutmeg, and its kitchens make appe midi, a pickle of tiny tender mangoes, a popular buy. Honnemaradu, on the Linganamakki backwaters, lies about 35 km towards Jog, a camping idea for a club on another trip. From here the mini bus climbs through forest to Sirsi, about 75 km. Twenty minutes is the limit, so the group reaches Sirsi before dark.
Night halt
The group spends the night in Sirsi, 395 km from Mysore, in one hotel with parking for the mini bus. Close to four fifths of Sirsi taluk is forest, which explains the cool, green air. Honey, areca and spices are the town's trade, and the market is a short walk from most hotels. Members who want an evening darshan can visit the Marikamba temple in the centre. Magod is about 65 km on, by Yellapur.
Tea
Yellapur, 445 km out, is the mini bus's tea halt on the second morning. Areca gardens surround this hill town, and state highway SH93 runs from here to Haliyal. The group gets fifteen minutes for tea and the washrooms, and someone should buy water for everyone, since the forest road to the falls has no shops. The mini bus then turns off the highway for Magod. The mini bus fits this narrow road well.
Viewpoint parking
About 10.5 to 11 hours of driving over two days bring the mini bus to the Magod viewpoint parking, near 19 km from Yellapur. The group walks from the lot to the railings together and stays behind the barriers. Plan roughly an hour. There is little food near the falls, so the group should take lunch back at Yellapur. The driver waits with the mini bus and keeps the bags safe. Keep everyone's phones charged for photographs at the railings.

We pick up at a hotel near Mysuru Palace or the Suburban bus stand, stop the first night near Shimoga or Sirsi, and reach the falls with daylight to spare.

Magod Falls is about 460 km from Mysore by road, about 920 km for the round trip. The mini bus takes KR Pet, Arsikere and Shivamogga (Shimoga), then Sagar, Sirsi and Yellapur. It needs about 10.5 to 11 hours of driving, so groups stay a night at Sirsi.
From the monsoon to about December, when the river is full.
A late arrival back in Mysore on the last day is not charged extra. Driving through the night adds the night allowance, shown on the quote. ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night is the mini bus rate.
Sure. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
The 21 or 22 seater. See mini bus on rent in Mysore.
No, they are separate. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
They are open, but Sirsi and Yellapur get heavy rain from June to September, and the 17 km forest road to the falls is wet and slow. The mini bus drives the forest stretch in daylight only. October to February is the drier and easier time for a group.
Yes. The drive is broken by breakfast, tea and lunch halts and a night at Sirsi. At Magod the walk from the parking to the railings is short, but the steps can be wet, so elders should go slowly. Seat them in the front rows of the mini bus.
