Family pickup
The tempo traveller collects the family at 5:30 from home or a Mysuru hotel and loads big bags at the back. Mysore's own masala dosa, with a red chutney spread inside, makes a good breakfast for the morning you come home. Leaving town, the van follows the expressway over the Kaveri at Srirangapatna and then takes the Pandavapura road towards KR Pet and the north west. Day one ends in Sirsi, about 395 km away, and the riverbed comes the next morning.
Breakfast
KR Pet, 55 km out, is the van's breakfast halt. The town's Hoysala Lakshminarayana temple at Hosaholalu, about 2 km west on the Bherya road, carries rows of carved figures from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, a fun puzzle for children on the way home. Twenty five minutes is planned for twelve people. State buses run from this town to Melukote, the hill temple town. From here the van runs by Channarayapatna to Arsikere, about 100 km.
Tea
Arsikere, 155 km from Mysore, is the van's tea halt of fifteen minutes. More than 120 trains stop at the junction each day, so a train may roll through while the children drink tender coconut. The Malekallu Tirupati hill temple, about 3 km from town, has a long climb of roughly 1,300 steps, kept for another visit. The driver tops up fuel before NH69, which runs about 95 km to Shivamogga.
Lunch
Lunch is planned in Shivamogga, still Shimoga to many, after 250 km. The district is one of the big areca nut markets, and the city sits at about 569 m on the Tunga. Forty minutes lets twelve people eat and rest. Most rain here falls from June to early October, so in those months the afternoon drive is slower. Sagar is about 75 km on, and Sirsi about 145 km.
Tea
At Sagar, 325 km out, the van halts fifteen minutes for tea. The town lies on the Varada river, and Ganapathi lake in the centre has a temple and a mosque standing side by side. Akki rotti and kadubu, the rice dishes of Malnad, are served in the small eating places. Varadamoola, where the Varada river rises, is about 6 km away. From here the road climbs through forest to Siddapur and Sirsi.
Night halt
Sirsi, 395 km from Mysore, is the family's night halt. This Uttara Kannada town sits at about 611 m in deep forest, and the Aghanashini river starts at Shankara Honda right in town, flowing about 128 km to the sea. We book a hotel with parking for the van. Local honey and spices are sold in the market. Sahasralinga is about 15 km on, a short drive after breakfast. Dinner is early, as the family should leave for the river soon after breakfast while it is cool.
Arrival at the river
In the morning the van covers the last 15 km from Sirsi and parks at the entrance, completing about nine hours of driving from Mysore. The family walks down by steps and a hanging bridge to the Shalmala riverbed. The rocks are wet and slippery, so sandals with a good grip are better than smooth shoes. Keep bags in the van and carry only water. The best months are after the monsoon, when the water is low.

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. 👍

About 410 km one way, so roughly 820 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller runs via KR Pet, Arsikere and Shivamogga (Shimoga), then Sagar and Sirsi. Driving time is about 9 hours, and the family stays a night in Sirsi before the morning visit to the river.
Yes, ask us. One way is ₹2 more per km than a return, with the km fixed in the written quote.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. Expect ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Not included. For Sahasralinga, a 12 seater over 3 days and 900 km comes to ₹23,400 at ₹24/km, plus ₹1,800 driver's allowance. Tolls, parking and GST at actuals.
The 13 seater gives room for bags. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes, with care. The rocks are slippery near the water; stay on the dry parts.
It is the busiest day of the year at Sahasralinga, when crowds peak at the riverbed. The van can still reach, but parking moves further out and the walk is slower. For a calmer family visit, go on another day between November and February, when the water is low and the lingas show well.
One medium bag each goes at the back of the van. Pack light clothes, a rain jacket in the wet months, sandals with a good grip for the river rocks and a towel. Keep snacks, water and medicines in a hand bag for the long first day.
