Pickup at your door
Sakleshpur is a relaxed three hour run, so the car comes at 7:30 am to your house, a guest house by the palace or Mysore Junction. Pack a jacket; the hill town is cooler than Mysore, and mornings there can be misty. If you plan to bring back a Mysore painting with its gold foil work or a piece of rosewood inlay, buy it on the return day. Our driver heads out on the Hunsur road and keeps an eye out for the Bilikere turn.
Junction
Bilikere, roughly 25 km from Mysore, is a junction rather than a halt. Here SH57 branches north from NH275 under a big overhead board, the turn people most often miss. Coorg traffic carries straight on towards Hunsur, about 20 km further, so our road gets much quieter after the turn. The village is named after its large tank, whose water once looked white. KR Nagar, the breakfast town, is about 15 km on.
Breakfast
KR Nagar, near the 40 km mark, is breakfast for four in fifteen minutes. The eateries here open around seven, and a few Kerala style places also serve fish and meat if someone wants more than idli. If you are coming back the same way with time to spare, the KRS dam and Brindavan garden are about 25 km away on the Mysore side. Holenarasipura is about 45 km on along SH57, and Sakleshpur about 120 km.
Optional halt
Holenarasipura, about 85 km out, is optional for the car. The Lakshmi Venkataramanaswamy temple at Mavinakere sits only a few metres from the Hemavathi, a peaceful darshan if anyone asks. After Hassan, about 35 km on, the routes split: NH75 goes west about 40 km to Sakleshpur, while the other road goes north west to Belur. We take NH75 today. If nobody needs a break, the cab keeps rolling. Pick up a terracotta pot here if you like local crafts.
Tea and fuel
Hassan, close to 120 km from Mysore, is a ten minute halt for tea and fuel. From here the cab joins NH75, which runs about 40 km west to Sakleshpur, the last town before the Shiradi ghat. The highway is busier with lorries than SH57, so the driver keeps to the left lane. If you want a sit down breakfast instead of KR Nagar, Hassan hotels serve akki rotti and kadubu with filter coffee.
Drop at your stay
The cab reaches Sakleshpur after about three hours of driving with the halts. The town sits at about 932 m on the Hemavathi, at the foot of the Western Ghats, and is often called the Poor Man's Ooty. Many homestays and estate stays lie down narrow coffee estate roads; a sedan manages most, but ask for an Innova for rough tracks. Homestays serve pandi curry for dinner. Arabica coffee and cardamom are the buys.
Need a Mysore to Sakleshpur cab for a coffee estate break? Our Mysore to Sakleshpur taxi picks you up from home, a Mysuru hotel or the bus stand and drives via KR Nagar and Hassan. Book cab rental in Mysore through Tejas Tours & Travels.

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.

Expect roughly 160 km each way, so about 320 km for the return trip. From Mysore the car turns off the Hunsur highway at Bilikere, follows SH57 past KR Nagar and Holenarasipura to Hassan, then joins NH75 for the final 40 km west. Three hours or so of driving covers it, breakfast included.
Yes. The road is narrow and goes through forest; leave after breakfast and be back by dark.
No. One day, 320 km: Dzire ₹4,240 Etios ₹4,880 Innova ₹6,160 Crysta ₹6,800. Driver allowance, parking, tolls and GST are extra at actuals.
Yes, ask us. A Sakleshpur one way is ₹2 more per km than a return; the km and allowance are as a written quote.
A night allowance is charged only for late night driving. You see it in the quote first. Expect ₹400 a night.
Innova Crysta. All cars on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes, but expect rain almost every day from June to September; Sakleshpur gets about 2,178 mm a year, and July alone about 835 mm. Estate roads to homestays get slushy, so a car with higher ground clearance helps. If you plan to go on to Mangalore, the Shiradi ghat beyond town has been closed after landslips in past monsoons, so check before travelling.
Yes. The drive is only about three hours with two halts. Ask the homestay how far the cab can go on the estate road; some have steep or rough last stretches where elders may prefer to be dropped at the gate. Pack warm clothes, since nights are cool, and keep medicines in a hand bag.
