Doorstep pickup
At 6 in the morning the car waits outside your home, hotel or the bus stand in Mysuru. Sahasralinga lies about 410 km away near Sirsi, so the plan is to sleep in Sirsi tonight and reach the river in the cool of the next morning. Rather than crossing the city, the driver takes NH275 north, crosses the Kaveri near Srirangapatna and leaves the highway at the Pandavapura junction for KR Pet. If the trip ends on a Tuesday and the children ask for the zoo, note that Mysore zoo and Karanji lake both close that day.
Breakfast
Breakfast is at KR Pet, the Krishnarajapete taluk town, about 55 km and an hour and a quarter from home. Sugarcane juice from the roadside stalls of this Mandya belt is a sweet extra after the meal. The many Hoysala temples in the villages around include the five shrine Panchalingeshwara at Govindanahalli, of about 1238, a quiet stop for some other trip. Fifteen minutes is enough for a family. The next leg, by way of Channarayapatna, runs roughly 100 km to Arsikere.
Tea
Arsikere, 155 km out, sits deep in coconut country, and a ten minute stop for tender coconut is up to the family. NH69 begins here and leads on towards Shivamogga, so the driver may fill the tank. If someone wants a short look at old stone, the Sahasrakuta Jinalaya, a Jain building from the Hoysala time of 1220, is in town. Lunch is about 95 km ahead, so a light snack is enough for now.
Lunch
Lunch is in Shivamogga, the Shimoga of many road signs, 250 km from Mysore. The city on the Tunga marks the start of the Malnad hills, with forest and areca gardens ahead. Twenty five minutes at the table keeps the day on schedule. A jar of appe midi, the small mango pickle made around Sagar, is the district's food to carry home. From here NH69 leads about 75 km to Sagar, and Sirsi is about 145 km away.
Tea or temple
Sagar, 325 km out, is a Malnad town on the Varada river at about 579 m. Tea takes ten minutes, but if the family has spare time, the stone Aghoreshwara temple at Ikkeri lies only about 6 km off by a diversion from the main road. Areca is the main crop around, with pepper, clove and nutmeg in the gardens. From Sagar the road climbs north towards Siddapur and Sirsi, about 70 km, through thick forest.
Night halt
Sirsi, 395 km from Mysore, is tonight's halt, a forest town of Uttara Kannada at about 611 m. Three quarters of the taluk is forest, and the areca grown here, sold as Sirsi supari, carries a GI tag. Ask your hotel for a Havyaka meal with tambli, the cool curd dish of the region. Local honey and spices are good buys in town. Sahasralinga is about 15 km on, so the morning visit is short.
Riverside parking
After breakfast the car drives about 15 km from Sirsi, near Sonda, and parks at the entrance above the river, about 8.5 to 9 hours of driving from Mysore in all. Steps and a hanging bridge lead down to the riverbed. The rocks near the water are slippery, so wear shoes with a good grip and keep children close. The lingas show best when the water is low after the monsoon, and crowds peak at Maha Shivaratri.

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.

Sahasralinga is about 410 km from Mysore one way, about 820 km for the round trip. The cab goes via KR Pet, Arsikere and Shivamogga (Shimoga), then Sagar and Sirsi. By car it is about 8.5 to 9 hours of driving, and most families sleep in Sirsi and reach the river the next morning.
Yes, on request. One way is ₹2 more per km than a return, and the km and allowance come in writing.
Innova Crysta. All cars on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes, on the drive home via Sagar. It adds about 60 km.
No. 3 days, 900 km: Dzire ₹12,000 Etios ₹13,800 Innova ₹17,400 Crysta ₹19,200. Night driver allowance, tolls, parking and GST are extra at actual.
A night allowance is charged only for late night driving. You see it in the quote first. The night bata is ₹400.
Very heavy. Sirsi gets about 2,635 mm of rain a year, most of it from June to September, and July alone brings close to 971 mm. The river runs high and covers much of the riverbed then, and the ghat roads are slippery. November to February is the comfortable time for this trip.
Yes, with care at the river. The drive has breakfast, lunch and tea halts and a night in Sirsi, so children are fresh in the morning. At the riverbed, hold their hands on the wet rocks and the hanging bridge. Pack a change of clothes and snacks in the car.
