Group pickup
Twenty odd people board the mini bus at a single gathering place, the suburban bus stand at the junction of Irwin Road, at about 6:15. Day bags are all anyone needs, since the ridge visit is a few hours and the bus waits below. Allow about three hours to the jeep point with two halts, and remember mist often settles on the hills by late morning. From the stand, the bus loops round Mysore by the ring road and takes the Hunsur road west.
Breakfast
Breakfast stop is Hunsur, 45 km into the drive, where low priced hotels serve a group of twenty in roughly 25 minutes if everyone orders together. Tobacco grows thick round this town, and farmers truck it to an auction yard at Kattemalalavadi, a few km off. State highway 90 starts here too, for Iruppu and Kutta, but the mini bus continues west on NH275. Bylakuppe's camps begin about 35 km ahead.
Drive through
Prayer flags mark Bylakuppe, roughly 80 km from Mysore, which the mini bus crosses without stopping. Tibetans built it after 1959, and it ranks as the biggest Tibetan settlement in south India; Sera Jey and Sera Mey between them house close to 5,000 monks. On the way back, the Golden Temple at Camp 4 suits a short visit, open until about 6 pm. Kushalnagar lies about 10 km beyond, so stay seated.
Drive on
Kushalnagar, around 90 km out, is crossed slowly because NH275 is being widened and both the Mysore and Madikeri roads carry heavy traffic. There is no need to halt this early in the day. On the homeward run the town makes a good dinner stop, with eateries that cook vegetarian meals and Kerala style fish and meat for big tables. Madikeri is 30 km ahead, up a gentle climb into coffee country.
Tea and restroom
At Madikeri, 120 km from Mysore, the mini bus group stops twenty minutes for tea and the restroom before the ridge. Mandalpatti lies 30 to 35 km on, and local jeeps handle the last rough part. The town has been Kodagu's capital since Mudduraja founded it in 1681. For gifts, Coorg Arabica coffee with its GI tag is easy to find. There are no restrooms on the ridge, so everyone uses them here.
Jeep point
The mini bus pulls into the jeep point about three hours after Mysore and stays parked there. Local jeeps carry the group up the last stretch of rough track to the open grass hills and the watchtower. On a clear morning the Western Ghats fold away in every direction, but cloud can cover them within minutes. Pack water and a warm layer in the day bag, since nothing is sold up top. Agree one return time at the bus.
Taking 20 trekkers or friends on a Mysore to Mandalpatti mini bus ride for the morning view? The viewpoint is about 25 km beyond Madikeri, and the last stretch is by local jeep. Pickup anywhere in Mysuru: Mysore Junction railway station or your hotel. Book it through our mini bus on rent in Mysore desk, open since 2009.

Mandalpatti is about 145 km from Mysore one way, about 290 km for the round trip. The mini bus takes NH275 through Hunsur, Bylakuppe and Kushalnagar to Madikeri, and then the hill road to the jeep point. With breakfast and a tea halt, the drive takes about three hours each way.
No. The Coorg road to Mandalpatti has tolls, parking fees and GST added at actuals, about 145 km each way.
No. The last stretch is a rough jeep track. The mini bus waits at the jeep point or in Madikeri.
Only after 10 pm; a late Mandalpatti return adds ₹600 to ₹700 a night by size for the driver.
Yes, a Mandalpatti drop is quoted when you ask, with ₹2 a km over the return rate.
Mandalpatti: up to 16 take the 16 seater, around 20 the 20 seater, 22 to 25 the 22 or 25 seater. Every size is on our mini bus on rent in Mysore page.
Yes. The heavy rain of June to August is over, the grass is green, and clear mornings are common. Leeches can still be on wet grass, so wear closed shoes. If Dasara falls in October, start early, because the Mysore exit roads get festival traffic and diversions.
The jeep ride up is rough, and the top is open and windy. Elders who prefer can stay at the jeep point with the bus and the driver, or at a cafe in Madikeri. Those who go up should sit in the middle of the jeep and carry a shawl. We halt at Hunsur and Madikeri, so restrooms are covered.
