Group pickup
Doors close at 6 am at whichever campus or hotel the group has chosen; the coach has 27 to 50 seats, and luggage rides underneath. It loops round the city on the ring road rather than through the old centre and reaches the Nanjangud road quickly. Masinagudi is 100 km away. A full bus needs about three hours with two halts, and the forest road must be crossed in daylight.
Breakfast halt
Nanjangud, 25 km from Mysore, is the bus group's breakfast halt. Those who go into the temple will find a big stone Nandi, some 8 ft tall, placed there in 1644. On the days of the Dodda Jathre the chariot street fills with thousands, and a coach is better kept well away from it. The bus parks on the main road. Forty minutes lets a full coach eat and board again.
Fuel stop
Sixty km from the start, the coach takes diesel at Gundlupet while the group queues for the toilets. Before Onam, in August or September, the town's flower farms feed the Kerala market, and the road around Gundlupet is crowded with lorries and traders. Fifteen minutes is enough on a normal day. After the town the bus turns onto NH 181, and the forest starts soon after; there is no halt for 35 km.
Forest drive
The bus crosses Bandipur at forest speed. Herds move through here on their way between this park and Nagarhole, and the roadside is thick with teak, rosewood and sandalwood. A coach is not allowed to pause on this highway; drivers who did have lost their vehicle for a while, so everyone stays in their seat. The road is closed at night from 9 pm to 6 am. About 15 km on, the bus enters Mudumalai in Tamil Nadu.
Safari booking
Theppakadu, 95 km out, is where the coach leaves the highway for Masinagudi. Past the village, the Sigur ghat winds up to Kalhatti and Ooty through 36 hairpins, a road no big bus can take, so the coach goes only as far as Masinagudi and returns the same way. A notice board at this junction sets out the limits. The reception centre sells the park tickets, and half an hour here lets the leader settle the group's plans for the afternoon.
Coach drop
The bus reaches Masinagudi about three hours after Mysore. Some resort roads are narrow, so the coach may stop on the main road and the bags go the last part by the resort's own vehicle. Lunch for forty is best booked with the resort in advance. Jeep safaris here use only forest registered jeeps, between about 6 am and 5:30 pm. For the return, the bus leaves by mid afternoon to clear Bandipur before 9 pm.
Planning Mysore to Masinagudi bus hire for a college batch of 45 on a nature trip? One bus, an early start from your campus or the Suburban bus stand in Mysuru, and a driver who has crossed Bandipur in a big coach hundreds of times. Book a bus on rent in Mysore.

|---|---|---|---|
Mysore to Masinagudi via Nanjangud, Bandipur and Theppakadu | About 100 km | About 200 km | About 2.5 hr with stops |
There and back is about 200 km, which is one 300 km day. Diesel and our driver are part of the bus rate per km, and the allowance for the driver is charged by the day. A night at a camp makes it two days, 600 km. You can have it with or without AC. Bus tolls, parking, the Tamil Nadu permit and GST are in addition, at cost.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

One way, the coach covers about 100 km; a return trip adds up to 200 km. Expect close to three hours for a full bus, with breakfast at Nanjangud and a fuel halt at Gundlupet, then the forest run through Bandipur and the turn at Theppakadu. The hairpin road from the village up to Kalhatti is closed to big buses, so the bus comes home by the same highway.
Sure. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
No. A full bus uses the Gudalur road.
The 49 or 50 seater. See bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, plus parking and the Tamil Nadu permit, all at cost.
We leave Masinagudi in time to cross the forest before the 9 pm closure. Night driving, if any, adds the night bata. Per night it is ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size.
Possibly. Masinagudi falls inside the Nilgiris, and court orders have made tourist vehicles entering the district apply online, with a ceiling on numbers during the 2025 summer rush. A coach is a tourist vehicle, so if the scheme is running on your dates, our office applies for the bus. Ask every passenger to keep an ID card handy at the border.
Not on the forest road. NH 181 through Bandipur closes from 9 pm to 6 am, and only emergency vehicles may pass. Mysore is about 100 km from Masinagudi, three hours by bus, so a same day return must leave by mid afternoon. A group that wants dinner and a campfire should stay the night and travel back next morning after 6 am.
