Group pickup
Twenty people meet the mini bus at 6 am. A good common point is the city bus stand between the palace and KR Circle, which everyone knows; prepaid autos from the railway station make it easy to reach. A second pickup is possible if part of the group lives far away. Moodabidri is about 260 km, roughly six hours with halts. One medium bag each goes in the rear. Keep jackets handy for the Coorg morning.

Tea for the group
For this group Hunsur is a tea stop, not breakfast, so twenty minutes is enough for coffee, a biscuit and the restroom queue. Tobacco is such a big crop around the town that ICAR runs a research station for it here, and in season the broad leaves can be seen drying in sheds by the road. The mini bus waits on the highway side with the door open. Anyone who is really hungry should eat a little now, because breakfast is in Madikeri, 75 km and almost two hours ahead.

Breakfast in Madikeri
Up in Madikeri, around 1,170 m, the group finally has breakfast. Thirty five minutes lets twenty people eat idli, dosa or akki otti, the thin Kodava rice bread, and take their turn at the restrooms. A few people may want honey from the Coorg bee keepers' society near the post office, but that is easier to carry home on the return. While the group eats, the driver fills diesel. When we leave, the Sampaje ghat begins at once, so everyone should be seated before the first bends.

Short pause
Sullia appears where the forest of the ghat gives way to neat rows of areca and rubber. After an hour of curves from Madikeri, a ten minute pause here lets anyone who felt sick step out, splash water on their face and breathe. Tea stalls on the main road sell fish fry and snacks. The rest of the road is far gentler, with Puttur 30 km ahead and Moodabidri roughly two hours away by mini bus.

Tea and temple
Puttur is a crowded arecanut market, and the group stops for a quarter of an hour of tea or buttermilk. Those who want darshan can walk to the Mahalingeshwara temple, which stands in the heart of the town, but they must be back on time. The driver parks where the mini bus can pull out without blocking the bazaar traffic. From here BC Road is 30 km away, and the coast's humid heat is already in the air.

Group lunch
BC Road is the trading centre beside Bantwal town on the Netravati, and the group stops here for lunch. Highway hotels can feed twenty people neer dosa, goli baje or a plain coastal thali in about forty minutes. Patrode and kotte kadubu, the Tulu dishes of this coast, are worth ordering for the table to share. The Moodabidri road branches off around this junction, so after lunch the group is only about half an hour from the hotel.

Group drop
The mini bus brings the twenty to their hotel in Moodabidri, a busy town on NH169. Vegetarian coastal food is everywhere, with neer dosa and goli baje for breakfast. College groups often go straight to the Alva's campus at Vidyagiri. Karkala is 18 km and Venur 20 km away, easy side trips the next morning. Before people rush to their rooms, fix the next day's start time at the bus door.
Taking 20 people on a Mysore to Moodabidri mini bus to see the basadis or a fest at Alva's? It is easy on the Sampaje ghat and parks near the basadis without trouble. See mini bus on rent in Mysore through Tejas Tours & Travels.

Moodabidri sits around 260 km from Mysore, near 520 km for a return trip. The mini bus heads west by Hunsur into Coorg, descends after Madikeri to Sullia, then runs through Puttur to the BC Road turn. A group of twenty with breakfast and lunch stops needs about 6 hours.
Moodabidri: the 25 seater, so the bags and tour leader fit. Every size is listed on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Moodabidri is about 260 km away; tolls, parking, state permits and GST go on top at actuals.
Moodabidri: driving after 10 pm adds the driver night allowance, ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
Yes. Both are around 20 km away. Add half a day.
Moodabidri one way: on request, at ₹2 a km over the return rate, quoted in writing.
Expect a soaking. Moodabidri is one of the wettest towns on this coast, with most of its rain from June to September, and the Sampaje descent can slow down or close to heavy vehicles during red alerts. A group can still go with an early start and a road check the day before, but October to March is far more pleasant.
One medium bag and a small day bag each is the comfortable limit. Medium bags ride in the back, day bags under the seats, and nothing blocks the aisle. Skip large hard suitcases. College groups should keep laptops, certificates and documents in their day bags rather than in the rear.
