Pickup at your door
Mirjan is a two day journey, so the car calls for you at 5:00 am, be it a flat off Bogadi road, a lodge near the palace or the station forecourt. Pack one overnight bag each; tonight is Sagar, and the coast comes tomorrow. Returning on a Sunday evening? The palace bulbs come on at seven on Sundays and public holidays, a fine sight before unloading. Out of the city we drive west on the Hunsur highway, then fork north at the Bilikere gantry for Hassan, about 120 km away.
Breakfast
First proper stop is Hassan, about 120 km from home, where four people breakfast in twenty minutes. Ask for kadubu, steamed rice dumplings, with coconut chutney, or a plate of ragi mudde if you want something that lasts till lunch. Shravanabelagola is about 51 km south east of the city, too far off for this trip. Hassan stands at about 950 m, so the car windows can stay down in the morning. From here the road swings north towards Kadur.
Short halt
Kadur, about 200 km into the drive, is a ten minute pause for tea and the washroom. It lies in a rain shadow, so the fields look dry even when the coast you are heading for is soaked. Coconut and areca are the farm crops, and the market sells both. The town once headed its own district, until 1865. Bhadravathi is about 60 km further and Shivamogga, the lunch town, about 70 km, so nobody needs a big snack here.
Lunch
Lunch is in Shivamogga, about 270 km from Mysore; the old name Shimoga is still on many signboards. A family of four eats in thirty five minutes. Fancy a quick look at the Shivappa Nayaka palace? The Keladi king's old home is now a museum beside the Tunga, open roughly ten to five and shut every Friday. The driver fills the tank while you eat. Sagar, where we sleep tonight, is about 75 km on through areca and paddy country.
Night halt
Tonight's halt is Sagar, around 345 km from Mysore, a market town on the Varada near 579 m. After dinner, stroll to Ganapathi lake, where a temple and a mosque share the same bank. Shops stock appe midi pickle and small sandalwood pieces carved by the Gudigar families. Jog Falls lies only about 30 km ahead, so the car can reach it early tomorrow, before the crowds, and then descend the ghat to the coast.
Morning at the falls
Jog Falls is the morning stop, about 375 km from Mysore, where the Sharavathi drops about 253 m, the second highest plunge waterfall in India. Forty five minutes at the viewpoints is enough for a family; the 1,400 steps to the base need two hours and strong knees. July and August bring the fullest flow. Pay entry and parking at the gate. From here the road runs down the ghat to Honnavar on the coast, about 70 km.
Coast lunch
Honnavar, roughly 445 km from Mysore, sits where the Sharavathi finally reaches the sea, and the car stops here for lunch. Coastal fish curry with rice is what the town eats, and there is a busy fish market by the river. Look out for the Konkan Railway bridge across the water, about 2 km long and the longest on that line. Spare an hour on the drive home and you can walk the mangrove boardwalk or take a backwater boat. Kumta comes next, roughly 19 km up NH66.
Tea halt
Kumta, about 465 km out, is a quick tea halt at sea level, where the Western Ghats come down to the coast. Konkani is the common language here, though everyone understands Kannada. The Aghanashini river meets the sea just north of town, and the road to Sirsi, NH766E, starts here. Gokarna is about 25 km away for another day. Mirjan is only about 10 km on, so this is a ten minute stop.
Fort parking
The car reaches Mirjan after about 10 to 10.5 hours of driving in all, halts included. It parks near the fort gate. Opening hours and any entry fee are not fixed in our notes, so check at the gate. From June to September this coast gets very heavy rain, and the moss covered stones are slippery; walk carefully. For meals, the coastal plate of seafood, coconut and rice is served at Kumta. Karwar lies north on NH66 if the trip goes on.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

From Mysore to Mirjan Fort is roughly 475 km, so the return journey nears 950 km. Day one takes SH57 to Hassan and the highway over Kadur and Shivamogga to Sagar; day two drops past Jog Falls down the ghat to Honnavar and up the coast to Kumta. Expect about 10 to 10.5 hours of driving in all, halts included.
Driving late at night means a night allowance for the driver. You see it in the quote first. The night bata is ₹400.
They are extra. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
An Innova Crysta; six people and bags fit. On this trip it is ₹24,000 for 1,200 km at ₹20/km, plus ₹1,600 allowance for the driver. The full car list is on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. Ask for a Mysore to Mirjan Fort one way cab quote with your date; you get km and fare on paper.
Around 5:00 am, so the forest and ghat stretches are done in daylight. Cars are quicker than the bigger vehicles; the driver can wait if someone wakes late.
In the rains the fort is at its greenest, but the coast here is drenched from June to September and the ghat road between Jog and Honnavar stays wet for days. Our cab takes that ghat only by daylight in those months. Inside the fort the laterite steps turn slick, so shoes with grip help. For drier and easier days, choose October to February.
Both fit easily, since each sits on NH66. Gokarna lies about 25 km from Kumta, and Murudeshwar is south of Honnavar along the coast. Adding them takes one extra day and a night by the sea. The same cab stays with you, and extra distance is charged at the per km rate already quoted. Mention it at booking so the driver can plan the order.
