Group pickup
The mini bus loads the group at one place in Mysuru at 6. With twenty people, breakfast on the road takes time, so ask everyone to have something light before leaving, perhaps upma or kara bath. Shivagange is about 185 km away, around four hours with breakfast. Day packs with water come on board; everything else goes in the boot. The bus heads up the expressway. Mandya is the first town, 45 km out, and breakfast is at Ramanagara.

Optional halt
Mandya is 45 km out. A group of twenty can stop five minutes for the restroom; fresh cane juice is sold by the road for anyone thirsty. The Mysore Sugar Company factory, set up in 1933, is in the town. Kunti Betta, a rocky trekking hill near Pandavapura, is in Mandya district, a good warm up climb for another weekend. The mini bus rejoins the expressway at once; Ramanagara is about 50 km ahead.

Breakfast
Ramanagara, about 95 km from Mysore, is breakfast. Twenty five minutes is enough for twenty people if one person orders for everyone. The town's silk cocoon market is among the largest in Asia, with an auction early each morning. The hills around are rock climbing country. After breakfast the mini bus goes round the west of the city to the Tumkur highway, about 65 km to Nelamangala, so this is the last long halt.

Drive through
Nelamangala, about 160 km out, is where the mini bus joins NH48. Trucks and buses crowd the junction, so the bus keeps moving. The Hassan highway branches off here, and the town is a taluk headquarters of the rural district. If one member is joining by train, Nelamangala has a station on the Hassan line. Dobbaspet, the last town before the hill, is about 20 km ahead, and the group buys water there, not here.

Supplies
Dobbaspet, about 180 km out, is the last shopping halt. Ten minutes lets the group buy fruit, glucose and water and use the restroom at a highway pump; shops at the base of the hill are small. Dobbaspet has a big industrial area, so expect lorries on weekdays. The ring road towards Doddaballapur starts here, tolled at Hulikunte, but the mini bus turns off for Shivagange, about 5 to 8 km from the highway.

Base parking
The mini bus parks in the open area near the base temple. The trail is marked, with steps cut in the rock, and rails are fixed on the steep part near the summit. Stalls near the base and on the path sell tea, juice and snacks. Monkeys are bold here, so keep food bags shut. Fit walkers need two to three hours up and down. Fix a time to be back at the bus, and count heads before leaving.
Shivagange climb with 20 friends? A Mysore to Shivagange mini bus gets you there. It is the right size for a trekking group and parks easily near the base. Ask for mini bus on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

For Shivagange, the 20 seater, one seat spare. See every size on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
On request, yes. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
No. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
It can be. March to May is summer around Mysore, and bare rock heats up quickly by late morning. In those months we suggest a 5:30 start so the group is climbing by about 9 and down before the afternoon heat. Carry plenty of water and caps; the stalls on the path sell drinks, but not always cold ones.
Elders can stay near the base temple, where the mini bus parks, and rest at the tea and buttermilk stalls. The lower part of the trail is easier, so some walk a short way and come back. The climbers take two to three hours, so elders should carry water and snacks of their own.
