Group boarding
The group of twenty gathers at 5:30 at Mysuru railway station or a hotel near the palace. December and January dawns in Mysore can be surprisingly cold, the city once recording 7.7 C, so a sweater helps until the sun is up. The mini bus follows NH275 to the Kaveri bridge and leaves it at Pandavapura for the KR Pet road. The first night is in Sirsi, about 395 km away, and the river visit comes after breakfast the next day.

Breakfast
The group breakfasts at KR Pet after 55 km, about an hour and a quarter from Mysore. Thirty minutes covers twenty plates if the driver phones the hotel ahead, which he does from the road. Shravanabelagola lies about 26 to 30 km on along the same road, but the mini bus does not stop there today. Sahasralinga is still about 355 km away, so the group should eat a full breakfast. Arsikere comes next, about 100 km on through Channarayapatna.

Tea
The mini bus stops at Arsikere, 155 km from Mysore, for fifteen minutes of tea and tender coconut. Two Hoysala buildings of 1220 stand in the town, the Ishvara temple and a Jain Sahasrakuta Jinalaya, and a heritage group can glance at them on a slower return. Copra from the surrounding palms goes to the Tiptur auction yard nearby. The driver fills diesel here, as the next leg on NH69 to Shivamogga is about 95 km of open road.

Lunch
Lunch for the twenty is in Shivamogga, the Shimoga of road signs, at 250 km. The city has about three lakh people and plenty of hotels that can seat a group together. Forty minutes is enough. Students may know that Kodachadri peak lies about 78 km from here, and that Kuppalli, the poet Kuvempu's house, is near Thirthahalli on another road. Our mini bus keeps to NH69 for Sagar, about 75 km, and Sirsi lies about 145 km away.

Tea
The group takes twenty minutes of tea at Sagar, 325 km out, by the Varada river. A walk to Ganapathi lake shows a temple and a mosque on the same shore. Trekkers in the group may want Dabbe falls near Hosagadde, reached only by a forest walk of 6 to 8 km, on some later trip. Then the mini bus climbs on through Siddapur to Sirsi, about 70 km, as the forest closes in.

Night halt
Sirsi, 395 km from Mysore, is the night halt for the group. Rice is the main food crop here, and areca, pepper and cardamom grow in the gardens. We book one hotel for all twenty with parking for the mini bus. Local honey and spices are sold in the market. The town sits in the Western Ghats, and the area gets very high rain in the monsoon. Sahasralinga is about 15 km on.

Arrival at the river
Next morning the mini bus drives about 15 km from Sirsi and parks near the entrance, about nine and a half hours of driving from Mysore in total. The last stretch is narrow, and the mini bus is the right size for it. The group walks down by steps and a hanging bridge to the riverbed. The rocks near water are slippery, so keep together and walk slowly. Carry water; leave bags on board.
Booking a Mysore to Sahasralinga mini bus for 20 friends or a family group heading to the Sirsi temples? A mini bus is the right size for the last narrow road to the river. See mini bus on rent in Mysore. We collect from the Mysuru railway station, a palace-side hotel or two homes.

Sahasralinga is about 410 km from Mysore by road, about 820 km for the round trip. The mini bus takes KR Pet, Arsikere and Shivamogga (Shimoga), then Sagar and Sirsi. It needs about 9.5 hours of driving, so groups stay a night in Sirsi.
Those are separate. The 20 seater costs ₹32,700 for 3 days, 900 km, and the driver bata is ₹2,100. Then parking, tolls and GST at actual.
We do, on request. The drop is priced at the return rate plus ₹2 a km, and you get it as a written quote.

Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. You see it in the quote first. The mini bus night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Yes, on the day after Sahasralinga. Both are within 45 km of Sirsi.
Yes. Three ghat roads, Devimane, Vaddi and Doddamane, reach Sirsi, and they can be slippery from June to September. The mini bus goes slowly and plans the forest stretch in daylight. October to February is easier, with dry roads and low water at the river.
The drive is fine, with halts every hour or two and a night in Sirsi. The walk to the riverbed has steps and a hanging bridge, and the rocks are wet, so elders should go slowly with a younger member or wait at the top. Seat them in the front rows of the mini bus.
