Pickup from your place
Seven in the morning is early enough by car: Muthyala Maduvu is only about three and a half hours away, so you reach before the midday sun. The driver comes to your home or hotel, fuelled and ready. If you have a spare morning another day, the great Nandi on Chamundi Hill, carved from a single black granite rock about 4.9 m tall, stands halfway up the steps. Wear shoes with grip for the rocky path at the end.

Tea and cane juice
About 45 km out, the car takes the Mandya exit for a short tea halt on the service road. Mandya is sugar country; stalls press fresh cane juice, and jaggery from the alemanes, the small boiling sheds in the fields, is sold in blocks. The Mysore Sugar factory here dates from 1933. Fifteen minutes is enough, then back onto the expressway for the next 50 km to Ramanagara. The restrooms at the bigger hotels are clean.

Breakfast
Ramanagara, about 95 km from Mysore, is the breakfast halt, off the expressway by the exit. The bare granite hills around the town are the Sholay hills, where the 1975 film was shot, and the rock here is known as Closepet granite after the town's old name. Ramadevara Betta, a hill with a Rama temple and the country's only vulture sanctuary, is about 3 to 6 km off. Twenty five minutes, then on to NICE Road.

Straight through
NICE Road brings the car round from Mysore Road and lands it on Hosur Road at Electronic City, the IT hub of about 200 company campuses. Here the elevated tollway from Silk Board comes down, and traffic merges from three exits, so the driver keeps a careful lane. Police speed checks are common on this stretch. There is nothing to stop for; Chandapura is only about 6 km on. Keep belts on through this stretch.

Turn for Anekal
At Chandapura, about 6 km past Electronic City on Hosur Road, the car turns off for Anekal, about 10 km away. On Saturdays the town has a big fruit and vegetable market, and the junction jams, so a weekday trip is smoother. Heelalige railway station is about 2 km from Chandapura Circle. Further down Hosur Road lies the Attibele toll at the state border, which this route does not reach.

Tea before the falls
Anekal is the taluk town about 5 km short of the falls, and a ten minute tea halt here works well before the walk. It sits at about 915 m, so the air is mild. The Thimmaraya Swamy temple is in town, and Anekal's Karaga and Dasara festivals fill the streets on those days. Small eateries serve idli, dosa and tea. Jigani industrial area is about 10 km away, so trucks are common on the approach.

You are here
A cab takes about 4 to 4.5 hours from Mysore with two halts. The road to the falls turns right off the Anekal to Thally road, and the car parks at the end of it. A small Shiva temple near the falls holds a puja every morning. The hills around are used for treks and bird watching, and Thattekere lake is nearby for a longer day. Tea and snacks are sold at the stalls; for a night, hotels in Electronic City or Hosur are closest.

No, they are separate. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
After the monsoon, when the stream is full, the falls look their best; in the dry summer the water is thin. Avoid Saturdays if you can, because the Chandapura market jams the junction where the car turns for Anekal. Start by seven so you reach before the midday heat.
The path from the parking involves rocky steps, so elders with weak knees should go slowly or wait above. The car parks close to the start of the path, and there are tea stalls to sit at. Shoes with grip and a walking stick help on wet rock.
