Pickup at your door
Shivamogga sits some 275 km north west of town, an easy single day by car, so pickup is at 6:30 am. Tell us where, be it your own gate, a guest house in Lakshmipuram, or the station. Visitors who still want the palace before going should know its doors are open roughly ten till half past five, footwear off at the entrance; better kept for your return. Our driver threads out along the Hunsur highway, then bears right onto SH57 at the big Bilikere gantry for KR Nagar.
Tea stop
Ten minutes for tea at KR Nagar, around 40 km into the drive, sets everyone up for the morning. Families with small children sometimes come back on a slower day for the Kaveri bank picnic ground at Yedatore, four km along the Hassan road, which has benches under the trees. The town lives on paddy and sugarcane, and its little eateries start serving near seven. From here SH57 runs about 45 km to Holenarasipura, and breakfast in Hassan is roughly 80 km off.
Breakfast
Hassan, near the 120 km mark, is breakfast. Twenty minutes is enough for four people to eat kadubu or akki rotti with chutney and a Malnad filter coffee. Hassan is the junction of this region: Sakleshpur and the Shiradi ghat lie about 40 km west on NH75, while our road turns north through the coconut country towards Arsikere, about 45 km away. Shivamogga is roughly 155 km on, close to three hours with the halts.
Snack halt
At around 165 km the cab reaches Arsikere, the heart of the coconut belt locals call Kalpataru Nadu. Ten minutes is enough for tender coconut or a snack. Lovers of stonework can peek at the Ishvara, also called Kalameshwara, a Hoysala shrine raised in 1220 AD and facing east, close to the main road. Up on a hill 3 km out, Malekallu Tirupati asks for a climb of roughly 1,300 steps, so leave it for another trip. Kadur is some 38 km further.
Drive on
The cab rolls through Kadur, around 205 km from Mysore, without a halt. This is the second largest town of Chikmagalur district, a dry spot at about 760 m in the rain shadow of the hills, where coconut and areca farms take over from paddy. Kemmangundi, with its hill gardens, lies about 42 km off if you plan a detour on the return. Bhadravathi is about 50 km ahead, and Shivamogga about 70 km.
Optional temple
Bhadravathi, near the 255 km mark, grew up round two big works, the Visvesvaraya steel plant and a paper mill. Ask the driver to turn in for fifteen minutes if anyone in the car enjoys temple carving: the Lakshmi Narasimha temple, built about 1250 CE in Hoysala style, has three sanctums, for Narasimha, Venugopala and Purushottama. Restoration work has been going on there, so parts may be screened off. Otherwise keep rolling; Shivamogga is barely 20 km away.
Drop in the city
After roughly 5.5 to 6 hours of driving, halts included, the cab pulls up at your hotel in Shivamogga (Shimoga) or any address in the city you give us. People here call the city the doorway to Malnad, and it stands on the Tunga near 569 m. Expect rain from June to early October and cool dry weather the rest of the year. Shops stock appe midi, the small mango pickle of this district. Flying out? The airport lies some 13 km to the south.

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.

Shivamogga, still signposted as Shimoga in places, is roughly 275 km from Mysore, about 550 km there and back. Your car runs up SH57 past KR Nagar to Hassan, then cuts through Arsikere, Kadur and the steel town of Bhadravathi. Expect five hours or so behind the wheel, including tea, breakfast and a short temple stop.
An Innova or Innova Crysta. Five people to Shivamogga find a sedan tight. The full size list is on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. Add the km and a day. Jog is about 100 km from Shivamogga.
Only if the driver drives late at night; then a night allowance is added. You see it in the quote first. The night bata is ₹400.
Yes. Shivamogga one way: send your date and the fare comes in writing before payment.
Not included. You pay tolls, parking, permits and GST at actual, with receipts.
Yes, it is mostly plain country. SH57 to Hassan and the highway through Arsikere and Kadur stay dry for longer, since Kadur lies in a rain shadow. Rain gets heavier only near Shivamogga, where most of it falls from June to early October. Drive in daylight and allow extra time near Bhadravathi in heavy rain.
It is possible but long, about ten hours of driving in all, so we do not suggest it with elders or small children. Leaving Mysore at 6:30 am, you reach Shivamogga by late morning; start back by 3 pm to be home before ten. Most families stay a night and see the sights the next morning.
