Pickup at your door
Wherever you are in Mysuru, the car comes to you, a home, a palace side hotel, the junction station, the city bus stand or the Mandakalli airport. Our way north is the Hassan state highway: the driver follows the Hunsur road for about 25 km, then swings right at Bilikere under the large overhead board. Start by seven and you are climbing the summit road before noon, while the ridge is usually clear. Save the Mysore pak shopping for the evening back, and get home before ten, when most shops shut.
Tea stop
KR Nagar is the first town, around 40 km along, a paddy and sugarcane town by the Kaveri. Its streets are fairly new; floods ruined old Yedatore, and the town was laid out again in the 1920s and 1930s and named after Krishnaraja Wodeyar. Ten minutes covers tea and karjoora cake, the small village date cake. For a river photo, the Arkeshwara temple at Hale Yedatore has old steps to the bathing ghats, some 4 km off. Breakfast is planned at Hassan, after Holenarasipura.
Breakfast
Hassan comes up a little past the halfway mark, a district town at about 950 m, and this is the breakfast halt. Ask for akki rotti, the rice flour flatbread, or kadubu with coconut chutney, and a Malnad filter coffee. Twenty minutes is plenty for four people. If you travel around Deepavali, note that the Hasanamba temple opens only then, for about 10 to 14 days, and the old town fills up; the driver keeps to the bypass. Belur is about 38 km on, roughly 45 minutes, as the road leaves NH75 for coffee country.
Temple halt
Belur sits on the Yagachi river, and the Chennakeshava temple stands right in the middle of the town, so the car parks close by. Entry is free and shoes go to the stand outside. The temple has 48 lathe turned pillars and 38 bracket figures, and 45 minutes lets a small family see the best of them. If you have ten more minutes, the Pathaleshwara temple is about 600 m east. Chikmagalur is only 25 km on, so the halt costs little time. Halebidu, 16 km away, fits better on the drive back.
Lunch and fuel
Chikmagalur town sits at about 1,040 m, and this is the last proper stop before the hill. Have an early lunch here, since the summit has only tea stalls. Malnad meals with akki rotti and kadubu are easy to find, and the coffee powder and black pepper shops on the main road suit a quick buy for four people. The driver fills fuel in town, because the last 20 km is narrow hill road. Carry a light jacket, since winter in town runs about 11 to 20 C, and the ridge feels colder.
Summit parking
The car climbs to the parking below the summit, where tea and sweet corn stalls stand by the road. From here it is 464 stone and concrete steps to the top, at about 1,925 m, the highest point in Karnataka. Wear shoes with grip, since the steps get wet in mist and rain; October, August and July are the wettest months. There are no rooms on the hill, so families stay in Chikmagalur town and come up early. On the Datta Jayanti days in December the road is crowded, so plan around them.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Mullayanagiri is about 205 km from Mysore one way, so about 410 km for the round trip. The cab takes the Hunsur road to Bilikere, then SH57 through KR Nagar and Holenarasipura to Hassan, on to Belur and Chikmagalur, and up the last 20 km of hill road. By car it takes about 4 to 4.5 hours with short halts.
A night allowance for the driver applies only if the drive runs late into the night. The quote lists it. The night bata is ₹400.
No, they are separate. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
Yes. Ask for a Mysore to Mullayanagiri one way cab quote with your date; you get the km and fare on paper.
Leave around 6:00 am and you reach Mullayanagiri with the day still ahead. Mullayanagiri by car is quicker than the bigger vehicles, so our driver can wait for a late riser.
Six people to Mullayanagiri fit an Innova Crysta, bags too. For this trip it is ₹12,000 for 600 km at ₹20/km, and ₹800 allowance for the driver. See each car on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes, the car can go, but the view is the problem. October, August and July are the wettest months around Chikmagalur, and the hilltop is often in mist, so you may climb the steps and see only cloud. The steps get slippery when wet. If the trip is for the view, November to February is the safer window, with cool, dry mornings.
Elders can come up by car to the parking below the summit, so they still see the hills without a long walk. The last part is 464 stone and concrete steps, which is hard for knees. Many families let elders sit at the tea stalls while the others climb, then meet at the car. Keep a shawl handy, because the ridge is cold and windy.
