Group pickup
For a group of twenty, a 5:30 start from one point in Mysuru works best. At that hour the junction near Manipal Hospital, where the ring road meets the expressway and traffic usually piles up, is clear. The hill is about 205 km away, around four and a half hours with breakfast and a tea halt. Keep a list and a fixed reporting time; late arrivals cost the whole group. Jackets and bags go in the boot.
Tea
Around 45 km out the mini bus reaches Mandya, the cane town. If the group wants a break, one person can order tea or cane juice for all, and fifteen minutes is enough. The hearty local lunch, ragi balls with country chicken curry, is better on the return. Trekkers in the group may like to know that Kunti Betta, a rocky hill near Pandavapura, lies in the same district. Breakfast is still about an hour away.
Breakfast
Ramanagara, about 95 km out, is where the mini bus stops for breakfast. Phone the order ahead and twenty people eat in thirty minutes. The granite hills around the town draw rock climbers on weekends. Janapada Loka, an open air museum of masks, puppets and village tools near the highway, makes a good school outing on a separate day; it is closed on Tuesdays. Use the restroom here before the long ring road stretch.
Ring road
Past Ramanagara the mini bus keeps to the Mysore road until the junction with NICE Road near Kengeri, then follows this ring road round the south west to Tumkur Road. That keeps the group out of the Nayandahalli bottleneck and the city's signals. NICE Road has no shops or halts, and its toll is charged at cost. From its northern end the bus crosses the suburbs towards the airport highway.
Drive through
On the northern edge of the city, at about 915 m, Yelahanka is where the mini bus joins NH44, about 165 km from Mysore. Beyond the town the airport road runs on an elevated stretch, so there are no signals. Yelahanka New Town has plenty of pickup points, handy if a friend from the city wants to join the group; arrange it in advance. Kempegowda, who founded the city, came from the Yelahanka chiefs.
Tea and restroom
Devanahalli, about 185 km from Mysore, is the tea and restroom stop before the hill, and twenty minutes covers twenty people. Expect airport traffic and toll plazas on this stretch, since the airport is right next to the town. The town's oval stone fort was rebuilt by Hyder Ali, and Tipu Sultan was born here. Karahalli Cross, the turn for the hill, comes about 10 km later, so get jackets out of the boot now.
Hill top
Low gear and patience take the mini bus up the tight bends from Karahalli Cross. At the Sultanpet base gate each person pays an entry fee and the bus pays for parking. On weekends the top car park fills, and then vehicles are held below, so an early arrival or a weekday helps. Tea and snacks come from small canteens on the hill. Before the group scatters, fix a time to be back at the bus.
Nandi Hills sunrise with 20 friends? Book a Mysore to Nandi Hills mini bus trip. Nandi Hills pickup is anywhere in Mysuru: your house or the railway station. Nandi Hills is on the far side of Bangalore, so the sunrise needs a night halt nearby. We have been doing mini bus on rent in Mysore since 2009.

By road the hill is about 205 km from Mysore, around 410 km there and back. With the expressway, NICE Road and NH44 through Yelahanka and Devanahalli, a mini bus takes about 4.5 hours, counting breakfast at Ramanagara and tea at Devanahalli.
No, they are separate. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
Yes. The hairpins are tight, so the driver goes slow. Parking on top fills early on weekends.
Yes, past 10 pm a night allowance is charged. Plan the start time and it rarely comes up.
Nandi Hills groups up to 16 take the 16 seater; around 20, the 20 seater; 22 to 25, the 22 or 25 seater. See our mini bus on rent in Mysore page for all sizes.
Yes, that works. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
It can. September is the wettest month around the city, and October brings heavy evening downpours that jam traffic. NICE Road and the airport highway cope better than city roads, but the return in the evening can be slow. In the rainy months we leave the hill by about 3 pm.
Mostly, yes. The mini bus parks at the top when there is space, and the main viewpoints are a short walk on paths. Elders should carry a shawl and avoid the cliff edges. If the top parking is full, the walk from below is longer, so a weekday visit suits elders better.
