Early pickup
Twenty odd trekkers board the mini bus at one meeting place, usually the suburban bus stand on Irwin Road, at about 5. Five hours of road and halts separate Mysore from the trail head. Day packs ride in the cabin, overnight bags in the boot. The bus loops round the city on the ring road and heads west. Kannada gives way to Tulu around Sullia and to Malayalam after Panathur, so the driver handles the talking.
Tea halt
Hunsur, 45 km out, gives the mini bus group fifteen minutes of tea and restrooms. The town's eateries open early for travellers and cost little. Tobacco from the surrounding farms is sold at an auction platform in Kattemalalavadi, a few km away. SH 90 heads off from Hunsur towards Virajpet, but the bus keeps to NH275 for Kushalnagar, about an hour ahead, where breakfast is planned. A head count before boarding saves trouble later.
Breakfast
Breakfast for twenty trekkers takes half an hour at Kushalnagar, roughly 90 km from Mysore. Vegetarian plates are quick, and Kerala style curries fill the lunch menus later. Both the Mysore and Madikeri roads through town carry heavy traffic while NH275 is widened, so the driver parks on a side road. Spices and home made chocolates are on sale for anyone shopping. The climb to Madikeri, about 30 km, follows.
Tea and fuel
At Madikeri, about 120 km from Mysore, the mini bus takes on fuel and the group takes tea at nearly 1,170 m. Coffee powder, honey and pepper are the usual gifts. Use the restrooms now; the ghat below has no halt for twenty people. June to August brings most of Madikeri's 3,200 mm of yearly rain, and in those weeks the descent is at its slowest, so the driver allows extra time.
Ghat descent
The mini bus crosses Sampaje, about 150 km from Mysore, the last Kodagu village on NH275 before Dakshina Kannada. Cashew, rubber and arecanut cover the slopes. In 2024 a sudden closure here caught drivers unaware, and vehicles waited for hours at the checkpost, so in the monsoon our driver checks the news before leaving Madikeri. Kodagu's roads also carry unpainted humps. Sullia comes up about 20 km below, where the plains begin.
Lunch
At Sullia, around 170 km out, the mini bus group stops forty minutes for lunch. The taluk town has budget lodges in its centre, useful if the group ever splits the return. Coastal rice meals are served quickly to twenty. This is the place to buy water, fruit and snacks for the trek, since food near the top is limited. Panathur and the Kerala border are about 25 km ahead, and Ranipuram about 50 km.
Border village
Panathur, about 195 km from Mysore, sits just over the border in Kasaragod district. A quick restroom stop works for a mini bus group if anyone asks. Small stores sell water and biscuits for those who missed Sullia. The Kerala permit for tourist vehicles is billed at cost. After the village, the road narrows and climbs through forest for the last 25 km, so the driver keeps a low speed.
Trail head
Five hours from Mysore, the mini bus reaches Ranipuram and parks near the forest office. Walks begin from the office, which sets the day's trek hours and collects the fee. Twenty people manage the hill comfortably if they keep together, so fix one return time before starting. The cottages beside the office cook simple meals; little else is available. In wet months, leech socks make the path far more pleasant.

A mini bus group should plan on five hours each way for about 220 km, or near 440 km in all. The road runs by Hunsur, Kushalnagar and Madikeri, drops through Sampaje to Sullia, and enters Kerala at Panathur, where the last 25 km are narrow.
Yes, slowly. The last stretch is narrow; the mini bus parks near the forest office.
Not included. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
Up to 16, the 16 seater; around 20, the 20 seater; 22 to 25, the 22 or 25 seater. All sizes are on our mini bus on rent in Mysore page.
Late driving after 10 pm carries a night bata, listed in the quote before you confirm. It is ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night for the mini bus.
Yes. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
It may. When a slide hit in July 2024, the Sampaje to Madikeri section was shut from 8 pm to 6 am and vehicles were diverted round by Charmadi, a long way. A sudden closure that year also held traffic at the Sampaje checkpost for hours. So our mini bus leaves at dawn and we check road news before monsoon trips.
The walk to the top is about 2 km through forest and grassland, and parts are steep. Fit elders can manage it slowly with a stick. Others can rest at the cottages near the forest office, which serve simple meals, while the group walks. The five hour drive has halts every hour or so.
