One gate
Need a Mysore to Ooty bus for the whole group? One hired coach beats buying forty separate seats on public buses: everybody boards at the same gate at 6 am, halts happen when the group needs them, and the same bus stays for the Ooty sightseeing. Coaches range from 27 to 50 seats. Big bags go underneath. Coming home, remember that Mysore's shops pull their shutters down well before ten, so any silk buying needs an early return. Ooty is 160 km away.
Breakfast
A calm breakfast for forty is easiest at Nanjangud, the first town, 25 km south. The town is called Dakshina Kashi for its Shiva temple, and its 1845 tower, close to 120 ft high, looms over the main street. Our coach sets everyone down and pulls into the parking ground on the edge of town. Forty minutes is the right allowance for a full coach to eat and board again. Lunch is far ahead at Gudalur, so everyone should eat well here.
Fuel and restroom
At 60 km the coach reaches Gundlupet for diesel and toilets, the final proper halt before the trees. At this point the highways split, NH 766 for Kerala and NH 181 for Ooty, and the bus takes NH 181. Forty people take time at the small tea stalls, so allow fifteen minutes and count heads before boarding. There are no toilets in the forest, and the next halt is about 50 km on.
Forest drive
The bus crosses Bandipur on NH 181. No coach may pause inside, and the reserve shuts its road at nine each night until dawn, so the whole homeward run from Ooty is fixed for daylight. The group keeps seated and watches for gaur and elephants. Elephants sometimes stand on the road; the driver waits patiently with the engine running. The state border comes about 15 km on, where Nilgiris checks begin.
Forest road
At Theppakadu, 95 km out, a side road heads off to Masinagudi and the Kalhatti ghat, a shorter way up to Ooty that twists through 36 hairpin bends. No big bus can take those turns, so our coach keeps to NH 181 through Gudalur, the road every group uses. Theppakadu is also the forest department's elephant camp, though a full coach rarely has time for it on the way up. Another 15 km of Mudumalai lies ahead, and lunch waits at Gudalur.
Group lunch
At Gudalur, 110 km along, the group stops for lunch. Highways from three states converge on this town, so traffic is heavy and parking for a coach needs a hotel with space at the door. Allow a full hour to feed forty and count them back in. Beyond the town, roughly 50 km of ghat road climbs to Ooty. In the monsoon, landslips can close Nilgiri ghat roads, so we check the road the day before.
Hotel drop
The bus reaches Ooty about four and a half hours after Mysore. In the second season, from September and October, weekend traffic has jammed the Gudalur to Ooty road near Shooting Point, and a big coach feels it most, so we prefer weekday arrivals. The coach drops the group at the nearest point it can stand near the hotel. Ooty is cold at about 2,240 m, so sweaters should be in hand bags, not the hold.
Looking at Mysore to Ooty bus hire for a college batch or an office trip of 45? One coach from your gate or the Suburban bus stand in Mysuru, an early crossing of Bandipur, and a driver who has taken full buses up the Gudalur ghat many times. Book a bus on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

By the Gudalur road, which is the only way a big coach can go, Ooty lies about 160 km from Mysore, or 320 km there and back. Budget around four and a half hours for a full coach, with a sit down breakfast and lunch on the way. The route passes Nanjangud and Gundlupet, then two forest reserves, then the ghat. Forest gates stay closed from nine at night to six in the morning.
Yes, Ooty one way on request; it runs ₹2 a km over a return, as a written quote.
Past 10 pm on the Ooty trip, the driver gets a night bata of ₹700 to ₹1,000 a night, by size.
No. Full-size buses use the Gudalur ghat.
The 49 or 50 seater. See bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes. Tolls, parking, GST and the Tamil Nadu permit are added at actual cost.
On weekends in the tourist seasons. The second season starts in September and October, and in October 2026 the Gudalur to Ooty road saw gridlock near Shooting Point, partly because the Kalhatti road is limited to 200 tourist vehicles a day. March to June is the main season. A bus group should plan weekday arrivals and leave Mysore at 6 am.
Suitcases ride in the luggage bay and stay there until the hotel. Keep a small hand bag with sweaters, medicines, water and snacks, because the hold is not opened at halts and the forest allows no stops. Ooty is cold even in summer evenings. Label every bag with the name and room list to speed up the hotel drop.
