Group pickup
Half past five, and the coach of 27 to 50 seats is waiting at your campus or hotel gate in Mysuru. During the Dasara festival the police shut the old centre to private coaches for much of the day, so in September or October we meet on the outskirts instead. Bags go in the hold. The bus takes the Nanjangud road, NH 766, south. Theppakadu in Mudumalai is 95 km away, about two and a half hours for a full bus with two halts.
Tea halt
Nanjangud, 25 km from Mysore, is the first halt for the bus. Ask the fruit stalls for rasabale, the tiny banana that carries a GI tag for Nanjangud, though only a few farmers still grow it. The bus stops on the main road, away from the temple street, and the group walks to the tea stalls. Twenty minutes covers tea and the restroom for forty. Breakfast follows at Gundlupet; keep the head count ready.
Fuel and breakfast
At Gundlupet, 60 km out, the bus fills fuel and the group grabs a quick breakfast. Eateries here are small, so forty people should order simple items and expect to wait a little. This is the last chance for restrooms before Bandipur and Mudumalai, where vehicles may not stop. After this town the highway turns south west on NH 181, and the forest starts within a few minutes. Theppakadu is 35 km ahead.
Forest drive
The bus passes through Bandipur at the forest speed. Coaches cannot halt here, and fines and vehicle seizures have been reported on this highway. The night ban from 9 pm to 6 am stays in place; Kerala has pressed to lift it, but the Karnataka forest department opposes that. For a group the message is simple: everyone stays seated, and photos are taken through the glass. The Tamil Nadu border comes about 15 km on.
Coach drop
The bus reaches Theppakadu about two and a half hours after Mysore and stops near the reception centre. Big buses cannot use the Sigur ghat to Masinagudi and Kalhatti, with its 36 hairpin bends, so the coach comes back to Mysore the same way. Over 266 bird species have been recorded in Mudumalai, so a nature group may want binoculars. Lunch for forty is best booked at the resort in advance.

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.

Mudumalai's Theppakadu gate is about 95 km from Mysore, about 190 km for the round trip. The bus follows NH 766 through Nanjangud to Gundlupet and then NH 181 across Bandipur. A full bus needs about two and a half hours each way with two halts. Big buses cannot take the Sigur ghat, so the bus returns the same way.
The 49 seater, so a few seats stay free for bags. All sizes are on bus on rent in Mysore.
No. GST is added on the bill. On the Mudumalai trip, tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit and parking are paid at actual cost, each one shown.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. It is shown in the quote. ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night is the bus rate.
On request, yes. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
The gates close and the bus has to wait till 6 am. We plan the return to cross Bandipur before 8 pm.
April to June is the hottest spell in Mudumalai, and the coach gets warm in the afternoon on the forest road. In those months, leave Mysore at 5:30 am, finish outdoor plans by late morning and rest through the afternoon. December and January are the coolest months, and November to February suits school and office groups best.
Water, caps, medicines and a light snack. The bus cannot stop on the forest stretch, and the hold opens only at halts, so anything needed for the 35 km through Bandipur and Mudumalai must be inside. Big bags travel underneath. One person per row keeps a trash bag, because nothing may be thrown out on a forest road.
