Group pickup
The mini bus loads the group at one point in Mysuru, a college gate, an office in Hebbal or Mysore Junction railway station, at 6. Groups from north India should know that Kannada is what people speak along this road; Hindi works at tourist spots, much less in the villages near the rock. Each climber should carry two litres of water and wear shoes with a grip. Srirangapatna, the first town on the expressway, comes after 15 km.

Drive through
Srirangapatna, 15 km from Mysore, was Tipu Sultan's island capital, and he died defending it in 1799. Teachers who want a history lesson can walk the ramparts and see the dungeon where British officers were held, but that suits the drive home. This morning the mini bus just crosses the Kaveri on the expressway bridge. Tell the group to sleep or eat a biscuit; the breakfast stop is 50 km ahead, and the climb needs energy. The group should eat something light now; breakfast is at Maddur, 50 km on.

Drive through
Mandya comes up 45 km from Mysore. The mini bus stays on the expressway, which runs six lanes with service roads on both sides. Hungry climbers on the way home can try a village style lunch here, balls of ragi with a hot naati koli saaru. MySugar, the old state sugar mill, is in this town. Kunti Betta, the trekking hill near Pandavapura, is another rocky climb in this district for a future trip.

Breakfast
At Maddur, 65 km along, the group gets its breakfast. Send one person ahead to order idli and hot Maddur vada for twenty at a stall by the exit, and the halt fits in thirty minutes. Buy water here in cases, since the rock has only small stalls. A memorial hall at Shivapura, next to the highway, remembers the flag protest held in this taluk in 1938. After breakfast the bus runs about 30 km on to Ramanagara and then turns off for the rock.

Drive through
Channapatna, 85 km from Mysore, is known in Kannada as Gombegala Ooru, the town of toys. The lacquered wooden toys carry a GI tag. Just past town at Doddamallur is the Aprameya Swamy temple, where Krishna is shown as a crawling baby, the Ambegalu Krishna. A group of twenty can visit one co operative shop for fifteen minutes on the drive home. This morning the mini bus keeps going; Ramanagara is 10 km ahead.

Supplies and fuel
Ramanagara, 95 km out, is the supply stop. Twenty minutes lets the group buy fruit and snacks and use the restroom while the driver fills fuel. The folk art campus at Janapada Loka is worth a separate outing on any day except Tuesday. The mini bus now leaves the expressway for about 35 km of country roads. Use this halt to brief the group: one leader in front, one at the back, and a fixed time to be back at the bus.

Base parking
Park, pay the forest fee and begin walking up early, while the rock is cool; the mini bus stays in the village lot by the temples. The climb needs two to three hours there and back on open granite. Only small stalls are here, so carry packed food. The climb is closed in rain, and the bus driver waits at the parking whatever the weather. Count heads before the climb and again before boarding, since the group spreads out on the rock.

They are extra. Tolls, parking, permits and GST are added at actual cost.
The last 35 km or so leave the expressway for narrower country roads through villages, so the mini bus drives slower there, with speed breakers and farm traffic. It is a normal road for a vehicle of this size. Expect about an hour for that stretch, and keep motion sickness tablets handy for anyone who needs them.
Yes. Once the group is back on the expressway at Ramanagara the road is wide and easy at night. We suggest leaving the base village by about 4 pm, so the country road stretch is covered in daylight. The group can then stop for dinner at Maddur and reach Mysore by around 9.
