Pickup at your door
The car comes to your door anywhere in Mysuru at 6, so the family is on the hill before the sun turns the rock hot. Shivagange is about 185 km away, roughly three and a half hours. If you have friends from north India with you, tell them Kannada is the language they will hear at the stalls and temples; Hindi is understood at tourist spots, less in villages. The cab takes the expressway out. Wear shoes that grip, and carry a small backpack each for water.
Optional halt
Mandya is 45 km into the drive, and the car only stops if someone asks. A glass of fresh sugarcane juice from a stall takes five minutes. The district's jaggery, boiled in small village sheds called alemanes, is sold in blocks if you want some for home. On days when farmers call a bandh over cane prices, the road near Mandya has been blocked, so we look at the news the night before. Breakfast is at Ramanagara, another 50 km along the expressway.
Breakfast
Ramanagara, about 95 km from Mysore, is the breakfast stop. A highway hotel serves idli, vada and coffee in twenty minutes. Look at the rocks around; these are the same kind of bare granite hills you are going to climb, and the ones here were used for the film Sholay. The town is also famous for its silk cocoon market. From Ramanagara the cab goes round the west of the city to reach the Tumkur highway, about 65 km to Nelamangala, so use the restroom here.
Drive through
Nelamangala, about 160 km from Mysore, is the busy junction where the cab joins NH48, the Tumkur highway. NH75 to Hassan splits off here too, and the toll plaza near the split jams on long weekend mornings, so we avoid those. A car moves through the truck traffic quickly, with no stop needed. Shivagange is only about 25 km away now, beyond Dobbaspet. Get the water bottles out of the boot and into day bags now, to save time at the base.
Water and fruit
Dobbaspet, about 180 km out, is the last town on NH48 before the hill. Officially it is called Sompura, and it is named after a British officer, Major General Dobbs. Five minutes is enough to buy fruit, glucose and extra water and to use the restroom at a highway pump, because the shops at the base are small and some open late. From here the turn for Shivagange is a short drive off the highway, about 5 to 8 km on a smaller road.
Base of the hill
The driver parks at the base of the hill and waits while you climb. Tea, buttermilk and snacks are sold near the base temple, and stalls along the path sell drinks too. Monkeys are common on the hill, so keep food in closed bags and leave sunglasses in the car. The climb is steep near the top, with rails fixed in places; fit walkers take two to three hours up and down. Start back to the car well before dark.

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.

Shivagange is about 185 km from Mysore one way, about 370 km for the round trip. The cab takes the expressway via Mandya and Ramanagara, goes round the city to the Tumkur highway at Nelamangala, and turns off at Dobbaspet. By cab it takes about 3.5 hours with breakfast.
Not in the fare: tolls on the 185 km road to Shivagange, parking, permits and GST, with the receipts.
A Dzire or Etios is enough. All sizes are on cab rental in Mysore.
We quote Shivagange one way drops on request; the rate is ₹2 a km above a round trip.
Plan three to four hours for the climb and darshan. The driver waits; it is part of the day.
For Shivagange, a return after 10 pm brings the night allowance of ₹400 a night.
In January, around Sankranti, a cattle fair runs for about a month at the foot of the hill, and the roads and parking get busy. Weekends through the cool months are also popular with climbers. For a quieter climb, choose a weekday and start from Mysore at 6, so you are on the hill before mid morning.
Yes. Leave the base by about 3 pm and the cab is back on the expressway at Ramanagara by early evening. The expressway is easy at night. Stop for dinner at Maddur and you reach Mysore around 9 or 10. If the climb runs late, a night in a hotel on the way is also possible.
