Family pickup
The van comes at 5:30 for your family of twelve, from home or Mysuru Junction, and loads the bags at the back. For the evening you return, note that Mysore shops and most restaurants close before 10 pm. The route leaves the city by the outer ring road and the Hunsur road, turning at Bilikere onto SH57 for KR Nagar and Hassan. Sathodi is about 485 km away, and the family sleeps at Sirsi on the way.
Breakfast and fuel
The van stops at Hassan, 115 km from Mysore, for breakfast, and the driver fills fuel while the family eats. Breakfast in this district often means akki rotti with coconut chutney or soft kadubu dumplings, and the filter coffee is famous. Children who love nature would enjoy Gendekatte biodiversity park, about 6 km from the city, on some slower trip. Thirty minutes for twelve people, then the van heads about 85 km on to Kadur.
Tea
Kadur, 200 km out, is where the van halts a quarter of an hour so everyone can have tea. NH69, the old highway towards Honnavar on the coast, passes through, and the railway station sits only 7 km from Birur Junction. Gardens of areca and coconut surround the town. On another holiday the family could take the hill road from here to Kemmangundi, with its Raj Bhavan, Z point and Hebbe falls. Today lunch waits at Shivamogga, roughly 55 km ahead.
Lunch
Lunch time brings the van to Shivamogga, still Shimoga on many boards, at 255 km. From this Tunga river city, other roads lead to Thirthahalli, about 60 km, and Agumbe, about 90 km, places to keep for another holiday. Forty five minutes lets the family eat and rest in the shade. After lunch the van follows NH69 to Sagar, about 75 km, and then climbs through forest to Sirsi for the night.
Tea
Tea time falls at Sagar, 330 km from Mysore, and the family gets a quarter of an hour by the Varada river. Children may spot the lake in the town centre, where a temple and a mosque share the same bank. Rice dishes of the hill country, akki rotti and kadubu, are sold at the little hotels if anyone is hungry. The river itself begins at Varadamoola, about 6 km away. Then the van climbs roughly 75 km through forest to Sirsi for the night.
Night halt
The family sleeps at Sirsi, 405 km out. Some corners of this taluk, such as Janmane, receive around 4,300 mm of rain in a year, which is why the forest is so thick and green. The hotel has parking for the van, and the driver rests nearby. Honey from local hives is a good buy in the market. Sathodi is about 80 km on through Yellapur, so the family can leave after breakfast.
Supplies
Next morning the van makes a fifteen minute stop at Yellapur, 455 km from Mysore. This hill town sits on NH52, which used to be numbered NH63, with areca gardens on every side. Buy water, fruit and snacks for everyone here, because nothing is sold at the falls. Children should use the washrooms before moving. Keep a plastic bag for wet clothes and a towel for each child. The road on to Sathodi, about 30 km, narrows into forest.
Arrival
After about 10 to 10.5 hours of driving over two days, the van reaches the forest parking at the end of the road. A short walk leads to the falls, which drop about 15 m into a pool. Children must stay away from the water's edge; swimming is not safe. In the rains, leeches are common, so covered shoes help. Eat at Yellapur, as there is no food here.

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 485 km one way, so roughly 970 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller runs via Hassan, Kadur and Shivamogga (Shimoga), then Sagar, Sirsi and Yellapur. It takes about 10 to 10.5 hours of driving, with a night at Sirsi before the falls.
Only if the driver drives late at night; then a night allowance is added. You see it in the quote first. For the tempo traveller: ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
It is about 485 km. Via Bangalore and Hubli it is close to 600 km.
No. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
The 16 seater; two seats stay free for bags. See every size on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes, quoted when you ask. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
It can. The Hasanamba temple in Hassan opens only once a year, for about 10 to 14 days around Deepavali in October or November, and the city gets very crowded then. The van keeps to the highway and loses some time. On other dates Hassan is an easy breakfast halt.
One medium bag each fits at the back of the van. Pack covered shoes for the falls path, a rain jacket in the wet months and a change of clothes. Keep snacks, water and medicines in hand bags, since there is no food at Sathodi.
