Pickup for the group
A coach to Muthanga leaves at 5:30 am from one agreed meeting point, which puts the group at the forest office in about three hours. Suitcases go into the hold first, and day bags come aboard. Visitors from the north will hear Kannada everywhere in Mysore and not much Hindi outside the tourist places, so our driver handles all the conversations at halts. The coach then follows the Nanjangud road south towards the Karnataka forest belt.
Temple town
The coach rolls through Nanjangud before the temple opens around 6 am, so darshan is better saved for the return. In the afternoon, a group stop works well: the outer wall of the Srikanteshwara temple holds 122 sculpted images of Shiva, and the courtyards are big enough for a party of forty. The coach parks on the main road while the group walks across. Remind everyone to carry traditional clothes in the day bag for the temple.
Restroom halt
At Gundlupet the coach stops for fifteen minutes so forty people can use the restrooms and buy tea, the last chance before the forest. At the fork in town the coach stays on NH 766 while NH 181 bends away towards Ooty. Officials at the forest posts sometimes look closely at vehicle papers, so the originals travel with the driver. Diesel goes in here as well. Forty people at one tea counter take time, so the coordinator calls the group back a few minutes early.
Reserve
The coach crosses into the Bandipur reserve about 80 km from Mysore. This is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, with hills that rise from around 680 m to more than 1,450 m. On the highway the driver slows whenever animals appear, but a coach never halts here. Elephants, gaur and spotted deer are common sights. Ask the group to stay seated and keep the aisle clear so everyone gets a look from the windows.
Check post
Moolehole is the Karnataka check post on this highway, about 95 km from Mysore and still inside the reserve. The coach stops only for the check. Between 9 pm and 6 am the barrier stays down, with only ambulances and emergency vehicles let through, which is why the coach must start back from Wayanad in good time. Past the post the same forest carries on as the Muthanga range of the Kerala sanctuary.
Arrival
About three hours after the start, the coach parks near the Muthanga forest office. Only forest department jeeps may enter the sanctuary, so a party of forty books several of them at the counter, around seven people to a jeep. Those who stay behind can rest in the coach. For lunch and fuel afterwards, Sulthan Bathery is the nearest town, with hotels that can feed a large group. The return leaves by mid afternoon so the coach is through Moolehole well before the gates shut.

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.

A coach covers about 110 km from Mysore to Muthanga, so close to 220 km for the round trip. It keeps to NH766 through Nanjangud and Gundlupet, through Bandipur's tiger reserve and the Moolehole forest check, then into the Wayanad sanctuary. A full coach needs about 3 hours.
Take the 45 seater, or the 49 or 50 seater for lots of bags. Each size and rate is on bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, quoted when you ask. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
If the bus drives after 10 pm, a night allowance for the driver is added. Your quote shows the amount, as does the bus rental page. Rate card figure: ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night.
No. Tolls, parking, the Kerala permit and GST are paid at actual and shown on the bill.
Yes. It is roughly 15 km beyond Muthanga on this route. Extra km over the billed km are charged at the same rate. Keep 30 minutes.
December to May is the window to aim for; the forest dries out and animals come to water, so the jeeps see more. The monsoon from July to September is wet and often means no safari. October and November look green but grass is high, so sightings drop.
On a day trip the hold can stay shut. Each person needs only a light bag at the seat with water, a cap, a snack and a thin jacket for the early morning. Valuables and phones should stay with the owner during the safari, and the coach is locked while the group is away.
