School gate pickup
The coach leaves your school gate in Mysuru at 5:45 with the class, the teachers and the luggage. December mornings in Mysore can fall to about 8 C, so children should wear a sweater until the sun is up. The driver keeps to NH275 till the Kaveri bridge at Srirangapatna and then heads up the Pandavapura road for KR Pet. The class sleeps in Shivamogga tonight, about 245 km away. Name tags on every bag make the hotel quick.

Breakfast
A coach needs a hotel with a yard, and KR Pet, 55 km out, has a few on its main road that can serve the whole class at once. This is the breakfast halt, and forty minutes covers food and a head count. Try to avoid Monday mornings, when the town's coconut market brings carts and lorries into the centre. Channarayapatna follows about 40 km later, where the coach joins NH75 for a short stretch.

Restroom halt
Highway hotels on NH75 at Channarayapatna, 95 km from Mysore, have yards big enough for a coach, so this is the restroom halt. Fifteen minutes, with teachers counting heads at the door. The toll plazas on this highway need a valid FASTag, which the bus carries. After this the coach leaves NH75 for the farm road to Arsikere, about 45 km on, and the morning traffic thins out. Snacks bought here should be eaten before boarding, to keep the coach clean.

Tea
At Arsikere, 140 km out, the coach stops on the main road, because the inner lanes are too narrow for it. Ten minutes for tea. History teachers can mention Haranahalli, about 8 km south, where the ruins of an old fort still stand, and the Hoysala temple of 1220 in the town itself. Then the coach runs on through Kadur towards Tarikere, crossing flat, dry country where the children can rest.

Lunch
Tarikere, 205 km from Mysore, has highway hotels that can seat a full class, so this is the lunch halt. The town sits on NH69 in Chikmagalur district. Keep an hour for lunch and rest. Bhadravathi is about 23 km ahead, and the Bhadra dam at Lakkavalli lies about 18 km beyond that town, a separate outing. Shivamogga, tonight's halt, is about 43 km on. Teachers can use the rest time to brief the class on the camp rules for tomorrow.

Drive through
Bhadravathi, 225 km out, is an industrial town; the coach passes the VISL steel plant, earlier named Mysore Iron and Steel, and a paper mill, and teachers can point out the chimneys. The Hoysala Lakshmi Narasimha temple here has been under restoration in recent years, so the class drives on. Shivamogga is only 20 km ahead, and the coach should reach the hotel by afternoon. Students on the left side get the best view of the plant as the coach goes by.

Night halt
The class spends the night in Shivamogga, 245 km from Mysore, also known as Shimoga. We book a hotel with parking for the coach. The city stands on the Tunga and trades in areca nut, and teachers can plan a short evening walk near the hotel. Dinner should be early and lights out by ten, since the coach leaves for the camp soon after breakfast. A teacher should collect phones for charging and check that every room has water.

Bus parking at the camp
Next morning the coach drives about 15 km out on the Thirthahalli road and parks near the Sakrebyle entrance, about six and a half hours of driving from Mysore in all. The elephants are bathed from about 8:30 to 11 am. Teachers buy tickets at the counter and split the class into small groups with one adult each. The bank is wet and slippery, so no running. The coach heads home after the session.

About 260 km from Mysore to Sakrebyle by road, so about 520 km for the round trip. The bus runs via KR Pet, Channarayapatna, Arsikere, Tarikere and Bhadravathi to Shivamogga (Shimoga), then the Thirthahalli road. A full bus needs about 6.5 hours of driving, so school groups stay a night in Shivamogga.
Follow the camp staff. They decide what visitors can do on the day.
Yes. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
Yes, with parking, at cost.
A night allowance for the driver applies only if the drive runs late into the night. The quote lists it. Night bata: ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size.
The 49 seater. See bus on rent in Mysore.
October to March, the cool and clear season in the Shivamogga area. From June to early October most of the year's rain falls, and the camp ground gets muddy for a big class. Winter mornings at 5:45 am are cool in Mysore, so children should carry a sweater.
We do not advise it for children. A night drive means poor sleep in bus seats and a tired class at the camp. Leaving at 5:45 am, sleeping in Shivamogga and visiting the camp next morning is safer. The return then reaches Mysore by evening.
