Family pickup
The van comes for your family at 6:30, at home or at Mysuru railway station. Children who like trains will enjoy a minute at the Rail Museum near the station, opened in 1979, if you pass it on the way home. The route skips the city: expressway to Srirangapatna, then the Pandavapura turn for KR Pet and the road north west. Tonight is in Shivamogga, about 245 km away, and the elephants come first thing tomorrow.
Breakfast
KR Pet, the van's breakfast halt, comes 55 km into the trip. The town is ringed by Hoysala temples; the nearest, the Lakshminarayana temple at Hosaholalu, about 2 km west on the Bherya road, carries some 120 carved figures on its walls, a fun spot for children to count animals on the friezes on the way home. Twenty five minutes covers breakfast for twelve. Channarayapatna is next, about 40 km away.
Restroom halt
Mid morning, after 95 km, the van halts at Channarayapatna for fifteen minutes of tea and washrooms. NH75 passes through the town and is tolled on this section, with a plaza at Kadabahalli, so the FASTag beeps as we go. Sugarcane and coconut farms spread on both sides. While the children stretch, the driver walks round the van checking tyres. The next town, Arsikere, is roughly 45 km away, and lunch is planned further on at Tarikere.
Snack halt
Children often spot a train at Arsikere, 140 km from home, because more than 120 of them stop at its junction every day. The van pauses ten minutes for a snack and tender coconut, which is sold at every corner of this coconut belt. Beyond the town the road heads for Kadur, about 38 km on, and the countryside turns drier and flatter. Fill the water bottles here; the next halt is lunch at Tarikere.
Lunch
Lunch time finds the van in Tarikere, 205 km out, a modest town of Chikmagalur district on NH69. Its railway station is one of the nearest for the Kemmangundi hills. Forty minutes lets twelve people eat in peace and rest a little. On a slower return, the Amruteshwara temple at Amruthapura nearby is a lovely Hoysala stop among the fields. Bhadravathi is about 20 km ahead, and Shivamogga about 40 km.
Drive through
Chimneys rise over Bhadravathi, 225 km from Mysore, where the van passes the Visvesvaraya Iron and Steel plant and a paper mill without stopping. Children usually ask what the smoke is. The town also keeps a three shrine Hoysala temple of Lakshmi Narasimha from around 1250, which has been under restoration in recent years. Shivamogga is only 20 km on, so the family checks in by mid afternoon and rests before the morning at the camp.
Night halt
Shivamogga, still called Shimoga by many, is the night halt, 245 km from Mysore. The city sits on the Tunga at about 569 m, and its cool, clear season runs from October to March. We book a hotel with parking for the van. The afternoon is free; the Bhadra dam at Lakkavalli is about 28 km away for an evening outing. Dinner early, as the camp is a morning visit.
Camp arrival
In the morning the van drives about 15 km out of Shivamogga on the Thirthahalli road to the Sakrebyle camp, about 5.5 to 6 hours of driving from Mysore in total. The elephants are bathed between about 8:30 and 11 am, so we leave the hotel by 8. Entry is by ticket at the gate. Children should stay behind the barriers and keep hands to themselves. The van parks nearby and waits.
Looking for a Mysore to Sakrebyle Elephant Camp tempo traveller so the kids can see the elephant bath? The van picks your family up at home or at Mysuru railway station, and we plan a night in Shivamogga so you reach the camp early. Ask for a tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

About 260 km one way, so about 520 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller goes via KR Pet, Channarayapatna, Arsikere and Tarikere to Shivamogga (Shimoga), then to the camp on the Thirthahalli road. It is about 5.5 to 6 hours of driving, with a night in Shivamogga so the family reaches the camp for the morning bath.
Only late night driving carries a driver night allowance. You see it in the quote first. For the tempo traveller: ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Not well. The bath is in the morning, so stay in Shivamogga.
The 14 or 16 seater. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
It can be done. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
Both come on top, with parking.
October to March is the cool, clear season in the Shivamogga area. June to early October brings most of the rain, so the camp is wet and the river high. Summer days are warm on the drive past Arsikere and Kadur, but the camp mornings stay pleasant.
One small bag each fits easily at the back of the van. Pack a change of clothes for the camp, as children often get splashed, plus sandals that grip on wet ground. Keep water, snacks and medicines in hand bags for the 5.5 to 6 hour drive.
