Coach pickup
Pilgrim coaches load fastest from a temple ground or school yard near the start of the T Narasipura road, where fifty people can gather with their bags. During Dasara the police have kept private buses out of the old centre on festival evenings, so a central pickup is unwise in that season. The coach heads south east for Kollegal, about 140 km in all and roughly three and a half hours. Pack water cans and the puja items.
Drive on
The bus crosses T Narasipura, about 30 km out, without a halt. The town sits at the Kaveri and Kapila confluence, and in a Kumbh Mela year, held in February, lakhs of devotees fill it and a coach may crawl. On a normal day the driver goes straight through. Kollegal, about 30 km on, has room for the bus to stop for breakfast. Group leaders can use the time to collect money for the puja offerings.
Breakfast and diesel
Kollegal, about 60 km from Mysore, is the breakfast and diesel stop for the bus. Forty minutes is right for fifty pilgrims. The town is the start of NH 766, and the bus leaves the highway here for SH 79 towards Hanur. Kollegal silk sarees come from the looms in town if anyone shops on the return. Everyone should use the restrooms before the forest stretch. Ask the hotel to set two lines for serving so the group moves quickly.
Water and supplies
Hanur is the coach's last market town, roughly 90 km out, so allow twenty minutes for water cans and puja items. For groups thinking of carrying on into Tamil Nadu, note that the road beyond MM Hills down to Palar is off limits from nine at night to six in the morning for heavy vehicles with over six wheels, so that leg must be driven by day. Festival days jam the road after Kowdalli. The coordinator calls everyone back at the set time.
Drive on
With a full bus we skip Kowdalli, the last village on SH 79 before Talabetta. The climb starts soon after, through the Male Mahadeshwara wildlife sanctuary, where elephants can be on the road. The driver keeps a low gear on the bends. The coordinator should count heads before the climb, as the next stop is the temple parking, about 35 km ahead. Window seats on the left get the best view of the forest.
Coach drop
The bus reaches MM Hills about three and a half hours after pickup and parks at the devasthana bus and car parking. The temple serves free prasada meals to devotees, which feeds a big group without fuss. MM Hills is an alcohol free zone. Queues are long on festival and new moon days, so fix one meeting point. Mobile signal is weak; agree the departure time before people scatter. Leave the hill early enough to be off the ghat before dark.

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.

For a coach the temple is roughly 140 km away, which puts the day's meter near 280 km. The bus passes T Narasipura, breaks for breakfast at Kollegal, then follows the state highway past Hanur and Kowdalli to the hill. A full bus with halts takes three and a half hours to get there.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. It is shown in the quote. Our card says ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size per night.
Sure. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
Yes, about 140 km each way. Leave early and you are back by night.
No. Tolls for a Bus are higher than for a car; we list them with GST and parking.
The 49 or 50 seater gives everyone a seat, with some spare. See the sizes on bus on rent in Mysore.
On big festival days, when lakhs of pilgrims arrive and the road after Kowdalli is jammed with buses. In the monsoon the ghat is wet and slow. A night rule also keeps the bigger multi axle trucks and coaches off the MM Hills to Palar road, so a bus heading on into Tamil Nadu should cross that part by day.
Give elders the seats just behind the driver and ask a relative to carry their tablets. At the temple, let them join the queue early, before the crowd builds. The free prasada meal saves a long search for food. Carry folding stools and water, and do a head count at every halt.
