Coach loading
Load the coach at one roomy place in Mysuru by 5:30. During Dasara, in September or October, the police divert traffic and keep private buses out of the city centre on festival days, so in those weeks we pick a loading point outside the centre. The hill is about 205 km away, around five hours by coach with breakfast and tea. Fifty people need a list and a reporting time. Bags travel in the hold.

Tea
A coach of fifty usually rolls past Mandya, about 45 km out, because a roadside stop takes too long with a big group; the restroom halt is optional. The district leads Karnataka in jaggery units, and its farms feed the sugar mills. The KRS dam, finished in 1932, also lies in Mandya district, towards Srirangapatna. If the group does stop, use the service road where the bus can stand clear of the expressway. Breakfast waits at Ramanagara.

Breakfast
Fifty breakfasts in thirty minutes is possible at Ramanagara, about 95 km out, if the order is phoned ahead to a hotel where the coach can park. The town is famous for silk cocoons and for the boulder hills where Sholay was filmed. Ramadevara Betta, a vulture sanctuary since 2012, lies a few kilometres off, too far for a coach on this schedule. Count heads before leaving; the next halt is over an hour away.

Ring road
A full size coach is slow on city signals, so from near Kengeri the bus takes NICE Road, the tolled ring road round the west side of the city to Tumkur Road. There are no halts on it; the next stop is Devanahalli. The toll is paid at cost and shown on the bill. From the end of NICE Road the coach crosses the northern suburbs to the airport highway at Yelahanka.

Drive through
Most coaches do not stop at Yelahanka, the north edge of the city about 165 km from Mysore, because the next halt suits a crowd better. Here the bus joins NH44. Evening traffic on this stretch adds time, so we plan the return to clear it before the rush. The Air Force station here hosts the Aero India show, which brings road restrictions near the airport, so we check the show dates first.

Tea and restroom
Twenty minutes at Devanahalli, about 185 km out, gives fifty people tea and a restroom break. Before the town the coach crosses the Sadahalli toll on the airport road, Karnataka's busiest plaza, and the airport itself is about 5 km away. Karahalli Cross, where the hill road starts, is about 10 km on. Tell the group now whether the coach will climb to the top or park below, as checked before the trip.

Hill base and top
Hairpins start at Karahalli Cross, and a long bus needs care on them, so we plan the climb in daylight. At busy times big buses may be stopped, and then the group takes the shuttle or walks the last stretch; we check this before the trip. Entry fees are paid at the Sultanpet base gate. Mornings are cold, so carry jackets. Small canteens on the hill serve tea and snacks, too small for fifty at once.

Not included. GST, tolls, parking and any permit are charged at actual.
Yes. The Air Force station at Yelahanka hosts Aero India, and roads to the airport get traffic restrictions during the show. Since the coach uses NH44 past Yelahanka and Devanahalli, we check the show dates before fixing yours, and plan around them if they clash.
Yes, for most ages. The hill top has easy paths and viewpoints, and the old summer palace and temples make it a history lesson too. Keep children well away from the cliff edges, plan one teacher per ten students, and carry packed food, as the canteens are small for a group of fifty.
