Doorstep pickup
The car calls at your door at 7, at home, a hotel near the palace or the bus stand. Sakrebyle sits about 260 km north west, and the plan is to sleep in Shivamogga tonight so the family reaches the camp for the morning elephant bath. The driver uses the expressway till Srirangapatna, then forks at Pandavapura for KR Pet. If your trip ends on a Tuesday, remember Mysore zoo and Karanji lake are shut that day, in case the children ask on the way home.
Breakfast
Breakfast happens at KR Pet, 55 km into the drive, a taluk town of Mandya district sitting at around 790 m. Sugarcane juice pressed at the roadside stalls is a sweet extra for children. If the family likes old carving, the Kikkeri Brahmeshvara temple, 12th century, is about 14 km away on the Mysuru to Hassan highway, a detour for the way back. Fifteen minutes is fine for four. Channarayapatna follows in about 40 km.
Optional halt
Channarayapatna, 95 km from Mysore, is where the car meets NH75. A ten minute halt works if someone needs tea, otherwise we carry on. Shravanabelagola's statue, carved around 981 AD, stands on a hill about 12 km away, a separate half day. Vehicles here wear KA 13 plates, the Hassan district code. The camp is still 165 km on, and Arsikere, the next town, comes after about 45 km of farm road.
Optional halt
At Arsikere, 140 km out, coconut palms crowd every field; the belt is known as Kalpataru Nadu. The car can stop ten minutes for tender coconut. From here the road runs on to Kadur, about 38 km, and then Tarikere for lunch. The Malekallu Tirupati temple sits on a hill about 3 km from town, with roughly 1,300 steps, a climb for another day. Fill fuel if the gauge is below half.
Lunch
Tarikere, 205 km from Mysore, is a small Chikmagalur district town on NH69 and the place to eat lunch. Hill lovers note that Kemmangundi rises on the road above this taluk, about 33 km from the station here. Closer still, the Hoysala Amruteshwara temple at Amruthapura makes a fine hour on the way home. The family can take half an hour over the meal. Bhadravathi comes about 20 km on, and Shivamogga soon after, so the hotel check in is early.
Steel town
Bhadravathi, 225 km out, is the steel town of this district; the Visvesvaraya Iron and Steel plant, once Mysore Iron and Steel, gave it its name in industry, along with a paper mill. The car drives straight through. Inside the town, the Lakshmi Narasimha temple of about 1250 has three shrines, a short stop if you pass again with time. Shivamogga is only 20 km on, so check in early.
Night halt
Shivamogga, or Shimoga as most people say, is tonight's halt, 245 km from Mysore. The city lies on the Tunga and is the gateway to the Malnad hills. Settle into the hotel by early afternoon. The Bhadra dam at Lakkavalli is about 28 km away if the family wants an evening drive. Pick up appe midi, the tender mango pickle from Sagar, to take home. Sleep early; the camp is a morning visit.
Morning at the camp
Next morning the car covers the last 15 km on the Thirthahalli road and drops you at the Sakrebyle camp gate, about 5.5 to 6 hours of driving from Mysore in all. The elephant bath runs from about 8:30 to 11 am, so leave the hotel by 8. Buy entry tickets at the counter. Wear clothes you do not mind getting splashed, and keep shoes that grip on wet ground. The car waits in the parking.

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.

Sakrebyle Elephant Camp is about 260 km from Mysore one way, about 520 km for the round trip. The cab goes via KR Pet, Channarayapatna, Arsikere, Tarikere and Bhadravathi to Shivamogga, then 15 km on the Thirthahalli road. By car it is about 5.5 to 6 hours of driving; most families sleep in Shivamogga and reach the camp in the morning.
A night allowance for the driver applies only if the drive runs late into the night. You see it in the quote first. Per night it is ₹400.
Innova Crysta. See cab rental in Mysore.
Yes, that works. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
No, both are extra.
Yes, with an extra day; Jog is around 100 km from Shivamogga.
Yes, if you like rain. Most rain in the Shivamogga area falls from June to early October, so the camp and the river banks are wet and green. Pack umbrellas and spare clothes. The cool, clear season from October to March is easier for families with small children.
Yes. The drive is about 5.5 to 6 hours, broken by breakfast at KR Pet and lunch at Tarikere, and the night in Shivamogga keeps the morning relaxed. Carry snacks, water and a change of clothes for the camp. A child seat can be arranged if you ask at booking.
