Pickup
The van comes at 7:00 am to one or two pickup points in Mysuru, a friend's house in Vijayanagar and a hotel near the palace, for example. Winter mornings in Mysore can be surprisingly cold for a plateau city, the lowest on record being 7.7 C, and Sakleshpur is colder still, so pack sweaters from November to February. Bags go in the back. We leave on the Hunsur road; Sakleshpur is about three and a half hours away.

SH57 turn
At Bilikere, around 25 km from Mysore, the van turns off the four lane NH275 onto SH57. The board for the turn hangs across the road and is easy to miss. Before the turn the Hunsur road is full of through traffic; after it, the road is calm and green. Gommatagiri, the small Jain hill with a Bahubali statue, lies off this road and holds a yearly Mahamastakabhisheka. KR Nagar is about 15 km on.

Breakfast
Breakfast happens at KR Nagar, roughly 40 km out, in one of the larger eateries where fifteen people sit together and the van parks close. Tea shops here also sell Osmania biscuits and the little village date cake called karjoora, good company for the hill road. If your dates include Rathasaptami, in January or February, the Arkeshwara temple at Hale Yedatore pulls its temple car and the riverside lanes fill. Allow twenty five minutes, then continue.

Short halt
Holenarasipura, about 85 km from Mysore, is an optional halt. The road ahead to Hassan is about 35 km, and Mosale, with its twin Hoysala temples, lies about 14 km from Hassan for anyone who loves old stone. The town itself sits on the Hemavathi, the same river that flows past Sakleshpur. If the group had a good breakfast, the van drives straight on to Hassan. Give the children a quick stretch by the river road if they are restless.

Fuel halt
Hassan, near the 120 km mark, is a ten minute halt for diesel and tea. The van now joins NH75 for the last 40 km west to Sakleshpur. Gorur dam on the Hemavathi, 58 m high, is about 22 km from Hassan, a side trip for the drive home if the river is full. Elders can stay seated while the tank is filled. Sakleshpur is under an hour away now.

Arrival
Three and a half hours of driving, halts included, bring the tempo traveller to Sakleshpur. Some estate lanes are too slim for a van, so the driver stops at the nearest wide spot and the homestay jeep can take the bags. The hills around grow coffee, pepper, cardamom, cinnamon and areca. For the following days, Mookanamane falls lies roughly 20 km away and Agni Gudda, a hill popular with trekkers, about 35 km.

October to March is cool and dry, the easiest window for estate walks and treks. June to September brings heavy rain, July most of all, and estate lanes turn to mud; the hills look lush and misty, but paths are slippery. December and January nights get cold, so bring warm layers.
Yes, on short trails. Keep children in shoes, not slippers, because estate paths are uneven and wet grass is slippery in the rains. Carry water and snacks from Hassan or Sakleshpur town. The drive itself is easy, about three and a half hours with two halts.
