Group pickup
The tempo traveller collects the group at one address in Mysuru at 6 and uses the outer ring road, about 41.5 km round the city, to reach the expressway without the city centre. Shivagange is about 185 km away, around three and a half hours. Every climber needs good shoes and a water bottle; spare clothes stay in the luggage space at the back. If the group is from out of town, keep the Mysore sights for another day. Mandya, the first town, is 45 km out.

Optional halt
At Mandya, 45 km from Mysore, the van halts only if the group wants it. The roadside stalls sell sugarcane juice, pressed while you wait, which is a good start on a hot day. Mandya sits at about 678 m, a little lower than Mysore, and the cane fields stretch along the road. Melukote, the temple town on a hill about 25 km away, is in this district, a separate weekend. Breakfast comes at Ramanagara, about 50 km ahead.

Breakfast
Ramanagara is the breakfast town, about 95 km out. Twenty minutes lets fifteen people eat dosa or idli and use the restroom. The cocoons sold in its market every morning feed the looms of Mysore silk. Ramadevara Betta, a hill with a Rama temple and a vulture sanctuary, is a few kilometres off, but today the group has its own hill to climb. After breakfast the tempo traveller leaves the Mysore road and goes round the west of the city towards the Tumkur highway.

Drive through
Nelamangala, about 160 km out, is where the van meets NH48, the Tumkur highway, after going round the city. The town has a railway station on the Hassan line and is the taluk headquarters. Trucks crowd the junction, so the van keeps moving. The Mahima Ranganatha Swamy temple at Mahimapura, near the town, is reached by about 300 steps, a climb for another day. Dobbaspet, the turn for Shivagange, is about 20 km ahead on NH48.

Supplies
Dobbaspet, about 180 km from Mysore, is where the van leaves NH48 for the hill. The town has an industrial area, so lorries and factory traffic are heavy on weekdays. Ten minutes is enough for the group to buy fruit, biscuits and water and use a restroom at a highway pump. Tumakuru is about 19 km further on the highway, but the van turns off here. Shivagange is about 5 to 8 km from the highway, so the base is a short drive away.

Base parking
The tempo traveller parks near the base temple and waits for the group. Small stalls sell tea, juice and buttermilk at the foot of the hill and along the path. The trail is marked, with steps cut in the rock or built with stones, and it turns steep and narrow near the summit, where rails are fixed. Keep the group together, and keep food bags closed because of the monkeys. Plan two to three hours for the climb.
Family of 12 booking a Mysore to Shivagange tempo traveller for the temple and the hill? The van parks near the base temple, so seniors can stay below while the young ones climb. Ask for a tempo traveller on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

It needs care. The steps are cut in the rock or built from stones, and wet rock is slippery, especially on the steep part near the summit, where rails are fixed. From June to October we suggest checking the forecast and climbing in the morning, before afternoon showers. Shoes with a good grip matter more than anything.
Older children who walk well usually manage with an adult beside them; the trail is marked and has rails near the top. Small children can stay at the base with one adult. Monkeys are common on the hill, so children should not carry open food. Carry water for each child; the stalls on the path are small.
