Group boarding
Twenty students, teachers or family members board the mini bus at 6, at a hotel near the palace or the Suburban bus stand. Ask the group to save shopping for the return evening, when Mysore pak, the ghee rich gram flour sweet, makes an easy treat to share. The driver heads out on NH275, crosses the Kaveri near Srirangapatna and takes the Pandavapura road towards KR Pet. Tonight the group sleeps in Shivamogga, roughly 245 km on, and the camp follows next morning.
Breakfast
The group eats breakfast at KR Pet, the Mandya district taluk town 55 km out. Farm families here eat ragi mudde with naati koli saaru, country chicken curry, though that is a lunch dish rather than a morning one. For a history class, the five shrine Panchalingeshwara temple at Govindanahalli, built around 1238 and protected as a national monument, is close by. Thirty minutes for twenty people. Channarayapatna lies about 40 km ahead.
Tea
Science teachers may enjoy this one: the Bagur Navile tunnel in Channarayapatna taluk is described as the longest water tunnel in India. The mini bus reaches the town after 95 km and pulls into a highway hotel on NH75 for a fifteen minute tea and washroom break. Shravanabelagola's hill is a dozen km off, a trip of its own. Count heads before the mini bus turns for Arsikere, about 45 km on.
Tender coconut
Arsikere, 140 km out, is the group's tender coconut stop, fitting for a town that sits in the middle of coconut country. A geography class might note that the dried kernel, copra, is taken from here to the Tiptur yard, where auctions run twice a week. A shrine to Veerabhadra Swami stands at Jajur, about 2 km from the centre. The mini bus waits on the main road for fifteen minutes, then heads for Kadur and Tarikere through flat, dry fields.
Lunch
The group eats lunch at Tarikere, 205 km from Mysore, a small town on NH69 in Chikmagalur district. Teachers can point out that Kemmangundi, the hill station, rises on the road above this taluk, and that Tarikere station is one of the nearest railheads for it. Forty five minutes lets twenty students eat and use the washrooms. Bhadravathi is about 23 km ahead and Shivamogga about 43 km, so the group checks in by mid afternoon.
Drive through
Passing Bhadravathi, 225 km out, is a good moment for a quick talk on industry: the mini bus runs past the VISL steel plant and the MPM paper mill. The town also has a Hoysala trikuta, the three shrine Lakshmi Narasimha temple of around 1250, for a heritage trip another time. No stop today. Shivamogga is 20 km on, and the group can rest before an early start. Students can note the names of both works for their project books.
Night halt
Shivamogga, which most signboards still spell Shimoga, is the group's night halt, 245 km from Mysore. The city lies on the Tunga river and opens into the Malnad hills. Heavy rain falls here from June to early October. We book one hotel for all twenty with space to park the mini bus. Kuvempu University is about 20 km from the city. Dinner early and lights out, as the camp visit starts soon after breakfast.
Camp arrival
After breakfast the mini bus covers the short run out of Shivamogga on the Thirthahalli road to the Sakrebyle camp, about six hours of driving from Mysore in total. It waits near the gate while the group buys tickets at the counter. Teachers should keep students together behind the barriers. Old clothes and shoes that grip on the wet bank are wise. Aim to be back on board by noon for the drive home.
Need a Mysore to Sakrebyle Elephant Camp mini bus for a school or family group of 20? We pick up from a hotel near Mysuru Palace or the Suburban bus stand, drive through the Malnad edge to Shivamogga, and plan the elephant bath for the next morning. Book mini bus on rent in Mysore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

Sakrebyle Elephant Camp is about 260 km from Mysore by road, about 520 km for the round trip. The mini bus takes KR Pet, Channarayapatna, Arsikere and Tarikere to Shivamogga (Shimoga), then the Thirthahalli road. It needs about 6 hours of driving, so groups stay a night in Shivamogga.
Yes, quoted when you ask. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
No. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
The 25 seater. Sizes are on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
A late arrival in Mysore on the last day is not charged extra. If the driver drives through the night, the night bata is added on the quote. Night bata: ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
In the morning, roughly 8:30 to 11. Stay in Shivamogga the evening before.
The stretch from Arsikere through Kadur is in the rain shadow and gets warm by noon from March to May. The mini bus starts at 6 to use the cool hours. Carry water bottles for everyone. The Shivamogga side is greener, and October to March is the most pleasant time for the trip.
Yes. The drive is about six hours with breakfast, tea and lunch halts, and the night in Shivamogga breaks the trip. Seat elders in the front rows. At the camp the ground can be wet and uneven, so elders should walk slowly with a younger member.
