Group pickup
Pick one meeting point for the mini bus on the side of the city nearest the T Narasipura road. Kannada is the main language on this road and at the temple, which helps if your group comes from the north and needs to ask the way. The mini bus leaves south east past Varuna. MM Hills is about 140 km, about three hours of driving. Carry water, snacks and puja items for everyone.
Drive on
The mini bus passes T Narasipura about 30 km from Mysore and does not stop. The town is a river pilgrimage spot at the meeting of the Kaveri and the Kapila, but a group of twenty saves time by keeping the first halt for Kollegal. Rice and silk are the main crops in this taluk, and the fields along the road show it. Kollegal is about 30 km ahead. Hand out water bottles while the bus is moving.
Breakfast for twenty
Kollegal is the breakfast stop for the mini bus, about 60 km from Mysore. Thirty five minutes gives twenty people time to eat and use the restrooms. The town is known for silk woven on pit looms, and Mahadeshwara's first footprints shrine is listed among its sights, a fitting detour for pilgrims on the way back. The road to MM Hills goes via Kamagere, Hanur and Kowdalli. Fill the water cans.
Supplies
At Hanur, about 90 km from Mysore, the mini bus halts for fifteen minutes. This taluk town on SH 79 is the last market before the hills, good for fruit and puja items. The road onwards through Kowdalli to Talabetta crosses the sanctuary edge. On festival days in March, two wheelers and autos have been stopped beyond Kowdalli, and the traffic of pilgrim buses grows heavy, so we plan around those dates.
Last village
Kowdalli, roughly 105 km out, is the final village before Talabetta, and the mini bus rolls through it. From here the forest of the sanctuary closes in on both sides and the gradient begins. Wild elephants cross this road, mostly early and late in the day, so the driver watches the verges and never honks at them. With twenty on board he uses a low gear on the bends. Everyone stays seated until the temple, around 35 km on.
Group drop
Around three hours after the pickup, the mini bus pulls into the temple's own parking area for buses and cars. The shrine is at roughly 3,000 ft, and devotees are served prasada meals free of charge, which suits a group of twenty. A handful of small vegetarian stalls sell tea and snacks. Alcohol is banned on the hill. Phone coverage drops in and out, so fix one meeting spot and one time before anyone wanders off.
Is a Mysore to MM Hills mini bus right for your group of twenty, going for Male Mahadeshwara darshan? MM Hills (Male Mahadeshwara Hills) is roughly 140 km from Mysuru via T Narasipura, Kollegal and Hanur. For MM Hills we pick up from the suburban bus stand or a Nazarbad hotel. We arrange mini bus on rent in Mysore with our own drivers.

MM Hills is about 140 km from Mysore, so the mini bus covers about 280 km for a day trip. The route goes through T Narasipura, Kollegal, Hanur and Kowdalli, with the climb at the end. A mini bus needs about three hours of driving each way.
Yes, state buses run up. The last stretch climbs through forest with bends.
No, they are separate. Toll and parking receipts are added at actual, and GST goes on the final bill.
The 25 seater, so everyone sits, bags included. See every size on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Only late night driving carries a driver night allowance. Night bata: ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Yes, on request. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
The cooler months, from October to February, are the easiest, since the plains below get hot in summer. Avoid the big festival days unless the group wants them; in March the road beyond Kowdalli has been closed to two wheelers and autos and the temple is packed. In the monsoon the ghat is wet, so we leave earlier.
It helps if you want the evening puja or a relaxed darshan. The guest houses are run by mutts and government departments, and all need advance booking, so fix rooms before the trip. A night stay also means the mini bus does not drive the forest ghat after dark. Carry warm clothes and torches.
