Pickup for the group
Your group, anything from 14 to 25, boards at half past five at a school gate, the bus stand or a similar single spot. It uses the outer ring road, which circles Mysore for about 41.5 km, to reach the Nanjangud road without crossing the centre. That saves a good twenty minutes. With tea at Nanjangud and breakfast at Gundlupet, the 95 km takes roughly two hours. A coordinator with the name list makes each halt quicker.
Tea halt
The mini bus stops at Nanjangud, 25 km from Mysore, for tea. Across the road the temple gopuram rises about 120 ft; it was built in 1845 and is easy to photograph from the street. The temple is open from about 6 am, so a group that wants darshan can do it quickly at this hour. After fifteen minutes and a quick roll call we push on to Gundlupet, 35 km south, for breakfast.
Breakfast and fuel
Gundlupet, 60 km out, is where the road splits. NH 766 goes straight on to Sulthan Bathery in Kerala, and NH 181 turns towards Bandipur, Mudumalai and Ooty, which is our road. The group has breakfast at the small eateries while the driver fills fuel. Twenty five minutes covers it for twenty people if orders are simple. Everyone should refill water and use the restroom, since the next 35 km passes through forest with no stops.
Forest drive
The mini bus crosses Bandipur on NH 181, 80 km from Mysore. Teak, rosewood, sandalwood and bamboo grow along the road, and the park forms part of an elephant corridor that links it with Nagarhole. Vehicles may not stop, so the group stays seated and watches. Ask the children to count deer; they usually lose count. Mudumalai's gate at Theppakadu is about 15 km ahead, across the Tamil Nadu border.
Theppakadu drop
The mini bus reaches Theppakadu, in Mudumalai, about two hours after Mysore. Here three forests touch, with Karnataka's Bandipur on one side, Kerala's Wayanad sanctuary on another, with the Moyar flowing in from the southern edge. The vehicle halts close to the ticket counter at the reception, and the group walks the last bit. The mini bus parks and waits. For a day trip, the return leaves by late afternoon to clear the Bandipur gate before 9 pm.
Taking 20 people on a Mysore to Mudumalai mini bus for a wildlife day in the forest? It is the right size for the forest road and parks easily at Theppakadu. Ask for mini bus on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

Theppakadu in Mudumalai lies some 95 km from Mysore, which makes 190 km there and back. Our mini bus runs on NH 766 through Nanjangud to Gundlupet, then on NH 181 through Bandipur into Tamil Nadu. With tea and breakfast halts, plan on about two hours each way. The Bandipur forest road closes from 9 pm to 6 am.
We quote Mudumalai one way drops on request; the rate is ₹2 a km above a round trip.
For Mudumalai, a return after 10 pm brings the night allowance of ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
No. You see animals from the moving vehicle or on the safari. Stopping is not allowed on the forest road.
The 25 seater for Mudumalai, with space for bags and the tour leader. Every size is listed on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Not in the fare: tolls on the 95 km road to Mudumalai, parking, permits and GST, with every receipt.
It gets busier for a few weeks. Marigolds grown round Gundlupet are trucked to Kerala for the Onam flower carpets, so late August and September bring more lorries and traders near the town. We simply allow a little extra time for that section. For the rest of the year a weekday morning start finds the highway fairly empty, which is ideal for a group.
Yes, with a little planning. Between Gundlupet and Theppakadu there are some 35 km of forest where the vehicle cannot pause, so elders should visit the restroom before that. Seat them close to the entry step, with tablets and a bottle in reach. The road is level most of the way. At Theppakadu the walk from the parking to the reception is short.
