Group pickup
Gather the group at one address in Mysuru by 6, because the tempo traveller has about 205 km to cover and roughly four hours on the road. Ask everyone to eat a little at home, upma or idli dunked in sambar, since the real breakfast is two hours away at Ramanagara. Jackets, shawls and bags ride in the back. The van takes the ring road to the expressway and heads north; Mandya is the first place where a tea halt is possible.
Tea
Cane fields line the road as the van nears Mandya, 45 km from home. If the group wants a halt, the stalls on the old road crush sugarcane in front of you, and fifteen minutes covers juice and the restroom. Mandya leads Karnataka in jaggery making, so a block for the kitchen at home is easy to pick up. Melukote, the hill temple town some 25 km off, is a different outing. Back on the expressway, breakfast comes in about an hour.
Breakfast
Breakfast happens at Ramanagara, about 95 km into the trip, where highway hotels serve idli, vada and dosa fast enough for fifteen people in thirty minutes. Look out at the hills: the bare boulders are Closepet granite, named after the old name of this silk town. A vulture sanctuary sits on Ramadevara Betta a few kilometres away, a trip for a birding group some other day. Refill water bottles here; the next stretch round the city has no planned halt.
Ring road
Near Kengeri the van turns off the Mysore road onto NICE Road, a tolled peripheral road. It loops round the south west of the city and comes out on Tumkur Road, so the group never meets the Nayandahalli jam or a single city signal. This is a road point only, with no shops or halts. The toll is added at cost. From the end of NICE Road the driver crosses the northern suburbs towards the airport highway.
Drive through
NH44 begins for this trip at Yelahanka, about 165 km from Mysore, on the north side of the city. The Hebbal flyover just before it got two new loops in 2025, which eased peak hour jams, though late evenings can still crawl. Yelahanka's Air Force station hosts the Aero India show, and during the show the airport roads get restrictions, so we check those dates when you book. The van keeps rolling towards Devanahalli.
Tea and restroom
Twenty minutes at Devanahalli, about 185 km out, lets the group have tea and use the restroom before the climb. The town sits beside the airport. A newer ring road links it with Doddaballapur and Hoskote, with a boothless toll at Nallur where cameras read the number plate. Vineyards in this valley grow a blue fox grape with a GI tag, sold at roadside stalls in season. The hill turn at Karahalli Cross is close now.
Hill top
Tight bends begin at Karahalli Cross, and the tempo traveller takes them in low gear. Fees are collected at the Sultanpet base gate: one for each visitor and one for parking, at rates the district sets. Weekend parking at the top has been capped at around 300 vehicles; when it fills, the line below can last hours, so try a weekday or come early. Snacks and tea are sold at small canteens up top. Mornings are chilly, so keep jackets handy.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

Nandi Hills lies about 205 km from Mysore, which makes about 410 km for the day. Expect roughly 4 hours each way in the tempo traveller, breakfast at Ramanagara included, on a route of expressway, ring road and then NH44 through Yelahanka and Devanahalli.
Tolls on the 205 km Nandi Hills road, parking, permits and GST come extra, at cost.
For Nandi Hills: up to 9, the 9 seater; 10 to 12, the 12 seater; 13 to 17, the 13, 14, 16 or 17 seater. See the sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
It is about 410 km there and back. For the sunrise, stay one night near Devanahalli.
One way to Nandi Hills, 205 km, is quoted on request at ₹2 a km over the return rate.
Night allowance on the Nandi Hills run applies after 10 pm: ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
On busy weekends parking at the top fills, and then vehicles are held below until space frees up, sometimes for hours. If that happens, the group walks up from the closest permitted point while the van waits lower down. To avoid it, come on a weekday or reach the gate as early as you can.
Yes, especially from November to February. The hill top is breezy and mornings are cold, even when the plains are warm. Pack a jacket or shawl for each person in a day bag. Bigger bags stay behind in the van with the driver.
