Group pickup
For a forest day the twenty travellers should be on board by 6 am, gathered at one corner of the city or two at most. Visitors from other states will find that Kannada is the language of the countryside, and our driver does the talking at the check post. Nagarhole lies about 95 km west, around two hours including breakfast. Fill bottles, pack caps and a few snacks before leaving, since nothing is sold inside the park.
Optional tea
Bilikere, about 25 km out, is the junction where a big overhead board points the KR Nagar and Hassan road away to the right; KR Nagar itself is some 13 to 16 km up that road. The mini bus keeps straight on the Hunsur road. Roadside stalls here start serving tea early, so the group can take ten minutes if needed, though most groups save the stop for breakfast at Hunsur, another 20 km.
Breakfast for the group
Hunsur is the group's breakfast halt and the last real town before the forest, with fuel pumps and proper hotels. Twenty people can finish idli, vada and coffee in about thirty minutes, while the driver fills diesel, because there is no pump inside the park. The Nagarhole forest office works from this town. Tobacco is the local trade, and the tobacco board's auction platform sits at Kattemalalavadi, about 5 km off the highway.
Last shops
Hanagodu is a riverside village where a weir crosses the Lakshmana Tirtha, about 15 km after Hunsur. The mini bus stops only if the group is short of water or snacks, because these little shops are the very last before the forest. Make sure every bottle is full. From here the road runs roughly 25 km to Veeranahosahalli, the gate on this side of the park, so the group leader can start preparing the passenger list.
Forest gate
At Veeranahosahalli the group leader hands the passenger list to the driver, who registers it with the vehicle number at the check post. Once inside, the forest rules are strict: plastic and anything that could start a fire must never be thrown out, and nobody leaves the vehicle until the reception. Keep voices down and windows half open to hear the forest. Elephants and gaur often stand close to the road.
Forest reception
The mini bus reaches the Nagarhole reception about two hours after leaving Mysore. The park has no hotel or canteen inside, so the group either carries food or eats at a forest lodge. Camping is forbidden. Because the forest roads close at 6 pm and reopen only at 6 am, fix the departure time with the group at the start and keep to it. In winter, evenings get cold quickly.
Need a Mysore to Nagarhole mini bus for a nature club or two families together, 18 or 20 of you? The park is under 100 km away, so you can make the afternoon safari slot easily. Book it through our mini bus on rent in Mysore desk, open since 2009. Board in Mysuru at a hotel near the zoo or the palace or the city bus stand.

Nagarhole sits about 95 km from Mysore, around 190 km in all. The mini bus drives west by Bilikere and Hunsur, past Hanagodu to the Veeranahosahalli gate and into the forest. A group should plan about 2 hours, including a breakfast halt at Hunsur.
Yes, past 10 pm a night bata goes on the bill. Plan the start time and it rarely comes up.
It can drive the public road through the park by day, but safaris are only in forest vehicles.
Up to 16, the 16 seater; around 20, the 20 seater; 22 to 25, the 22 or 25 seater. All sizes are on our mini bus on rent in Mysore page.
Yes, quoted when you ask. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
No. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
Summer days reach about 32 C, warm but manageable in the shade of the forest. March and April are actually the best months for sightings, as waterholes dry up. Carry plenty of water and caps. November to February is cooler, and July to October brings rain that can stop safaris.
Yes, inside the mini bus, but nothing may be thrown in the park. Plastic and anything that can start a fire must not be left in the forest, so carry one bag for all wrappers and bottles and bring it back. There are no shops after Hanagodu, so buy water there or at Hunsur.
