Pickup at your door
The car meets you at 6 at your home, your hotel or the station in Mysuru. Nandi Hills is about 205 km away, roughly three and a half hours, so you reach the hill by mid morning. The first expressway toll comes up at Gananguru, just past Srirangapatna, and the cab pays by FASTag without stopping. Carry a light jacket even in summer; the top is breezy. Mandya is the first town, 45 km on, and breakfast is planned at Ramanagara.
Tea
Mandya, 45 km out, is the place for a quick tea or a glass of cane juice pressed at a roadside stall. A cab can be in and out in fifteen minutes using the service road. Sugarcane covers the fields here, and the town makes jaggery in small village units; a block keeps well for the trip home. If the farmers' groups have called a bandh, the highway near Mandya has been blocked in the past, so we read the news the night before.
Breakfast
Ramanagara, about 95 km from Mysore, is the breakfast halt. A highway hotel serves idli, vada and dosa, and thirty minutes leaves time for coffee. The ridges around are the granite hills where Sholay was filmed, and the cocoon market here supplies the silk looms of Mysore. Janapada Loka, the folk museum near the highway, shuts on Tuesdays. After breakfast the cab heads for NICE Road, about 35 km on, to go round the city.
Ring road
NICE Road is the tolled ring road round the south west of the city. The cab joins it where it meets the Mysore road near Kengeri and follows it north past the Magadi Road side to Tumkur Road, missing the jams of the city centre and Nayandahalli. There are no shops on it, so keep going. The toll is paid at cost; NICE and Electronic City tolls are revised every July. From the far end, the drive continues across the north of the city to Yelahanka.
Drive through
Yelahanka, about 165 km from Mysore, is the northern edge of the city and its oldest part; Kempegowda, the city's founder, belonged to the Yelahanka chiefs. Here the cab joins NH44, the airport highway, which runs as an elevated road past the old town. Traffic can be slow at peak hours. Fuel and tea are on the highway if needed, but most cabs keep going. Devanahalli is about 20 km ahead.
Tea and restroom
Devanahalli, about 185 km out, sits next to the airport, about 5 km away. Before the town the cab pays the Sadahalli toll, the busiest plaza in Karnataka. This is a good fifteen minute stop for tea and a restroom before the climb. In winter, fog lies here in the early morning, but by mid morning it is gone. The turn for Nandi Hills is at Karahalli Cross, about 10 km on, and the hill road starts soon after.
Hill top
The cab climbs from Karahalli Cross on a road with many hairpin bends, easy in a car. At the Sultanpet base gate there is an entry fee per person and a fee for the car. On weekends parking at the top fills up, and once it is full no more vehicles go up, so weekdays are calmer. Small canteens on top sell tea and snacks. The hill is commonly open from 6 am; closing times listed vary, so check before planning an evening.
Booking a Mysore to Nandi Hills cab for a couple or four friends for the sunrise? A car can reach the hill gate early for the first sunrise slot. Start point in Mysuru can be a hotel near the zoo or the palace or the city bus stand. Book it through our cab rental in Mysore desk, open since 2009. Most callers ask for it as the Mysore to Nandi Hills taxi; either way it comes with a driver.

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.

From Mysore to the top of Nandi Hills it is about 205 km, so the round trip comes to about 410 km. The cab goes up the expressway to Ramanagara, takes NICE Road round the city, then NH44 from Yelahanka past Devanahalli to Karahalli Cross and the hill road. Plan about 4 to 4.5 hours by car with breakfast.
No, they are separate. You pay tolls, parking, permits and GST at actual, with receipts.
By 5:30 am for the sunrise, a little earlier on weekends.
Four people: Dzire or Etios. All our cars are on cab rental in Mysore. Six or seven, or four with big bags: Innova or Innova Crysta.
Driving after 10 pm adds a night bata for the driver, as per the quote. On our Mysore card that is ₹400 a night.
Yes. A Mysore to Nandi Hills one way taxi is on request; you receive the fare before booking.
Early weekend mornings. Sunrise over the clouds draws the biggest crowds, and parking at the top has been limited to about 300 vehicles; once full, cars queue below for hours. From Mysore you arrive by mid morning, after the sunrise rush, but on long weekends the queue can still be long. A weekday trip is far calmer.
Yes. The cab drives up the hairpin road, so there is no long climb, and the top has paths, viewpoints and small canteens for tea and snacks. Carry jackets, because the breeze is cool, and keep children away from cliff edges. Motion sickness tablets help on the bends.
