Group pickup
A school, office or family group of up to 25 meets the mini bus at 5:30 am, maybe at a school gate or a community hall in Mysuru. Bandh days linked to the Kaveri dispute can disrupt travel into Tamil Nadu, so the news gets checked the night before. Luggage fits below the seats and in the rear. We drive by NH766 to Nanjangud, on to Chamarajanagar and through the Sathyamangalam forest, about 190 km in all.
Temple stop
Nanjangud, about 25 km from Mysore, has the Srikanteshwara temple with its tall gopuram, built in 1845, and a twenty minute halt lets the group visit. The temple complex is huge, so fix one meeting point at the entrance. During the chariot festival in spring, crowds are very large and the town is slow, so we plan around it. The mini bus parks on the main road. After the temple, the route turns off for Chamarajanagar, about 35 km away.
Breakfast for the group
Forty minutes at Chamarajanagar, about 60 km out, is breakfast time for the group. As the main town of Karnataka's last district before Tamil Nadu, it has a railway link to Mysore and hotels that can feed 25 quickly. Suvarnavathi dam is around 16 km from town, a picnic for another day. Before boarding, everyone should use the restroom, because NH948 now runs through forest all the way to Hasanur.
Top of the ghat
Ten minutes at Hasanur, roughly 105 km out, get everyone ready for the Dhimbam ghat. The 27 bends below are steep, so our driver keeps the loaded mini bus in a low gear. This forest is part of the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, notified in 2013, and elephants often wander across. Food stays packed and windows stay up. Hours for night traffic on the ghat have changed more than once, so being on time matters.
Tea break
At Sathyamangalam, about 140 km from Mysore, the mini bus gets a fifteen minute tea break. The town is on NH948, the Coimbatore highway, and its tiger reserve, about 1,408 sq km, has more than 850 elephants counted. The Bannari Amman temple near the ghat foot is busy in March and April for the Kundam festival. The nearest railway station is Tiruppur, about 57 km away. Mettupalayam is about 50 km on.
Arrival
The mini bus reaches Mettupalayam about five and a half hours after Mysore, around 190 km, and sets the group down at the hotel. The toy train for Ooty starts from the station here, so a group staying close by can walk over in the morning. The road SH80 links the town with Avinashi through Annur, useful if part of the group goes to Tiruppur. The driver parks where the hotel gives space and waits for the next day's plan.
Is a school, office or family group of 14 to 25 heading for the toy train? The Mysore to Mettupalayam mini bus carries everyone with bags, about 190 km through the Sathyamangalam forest. Hire a mini bus on rent in Mysore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

About 190 km one way and about 380 km return, through Nanjangud, Chamarajanagar, Hasanur and Sathyamangalam. A mini bus with a full group takes about five and a half hours, counting a forty minute breakfast and the Dhimbam ghat descent.
Billed at 600 km for 2 days: 20 seater ₹21,800 (₹34/km). Driver allowance ₹700 per day; tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit and GST at actual.
The 25 seater, with a few seats for bags. Compare every size on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
They are separate. Tolls, parking and the Tamil Nadu permit are added at the receipt amount, and GST is added to the total.
Sure. For a single journey we charge ₹2 a km over the round trip rate and put the total in writing before you pay.
Yes. It is at the foot of the Dhimbam ghat, right on the road, so a halt adds little time.
On days when the Kaveri dispute leads to protests, travel across the border can be held up. We check the news the evening before and talk to the group leader. If a bandh is declared, we suggest moving the trip by a day rather than waiting at the border with a full group.
Yes. A mini bus can climb the main Ooty ghat from Mettupalayam slowly, with stops for the driver to cool the brakes. Some groups take the toy train up and send the mini bus by road to meet them at Ooty; the extra km are added to the bill.
