Group pickup
Pick a single gathering spot in Mysuru, perhaps your apartment gate in Kuvempunagar or a community hall, and the mini bus is there by 6:00 am. Mysore is proud of its breakfasts, idli dunked in sambar, bisi bele bath, kesari bath, but feeding twenty in town costs time, so we eat on the road. Luggage rides in the rear, snack boxes up front with the group. Our driver follows the Hunsur highway out and peels off north onto SH57 at the Bilikere gantry.

Tea halt
KR Nagar, roughly 40 km along, gives twenty people a quarter hour of tea. Ask the tea shops for karjoora cake, a little date cake baked in the villages here, or plain Osmania biscuits; both cost very little. Our driver stops on the through road. Coming home with time in hand? Four km from town, at Hale Yedatore, the Arkeshwara shrine has stone steps that go down into the Kaveri. Hassan and breakfast lie roughly 80 km ahead.

Breakfast
Hassan, near the 120 km mark, is where twenty people have breakfast; the driver rings ahead so idli and dosa come out quickly. Many groups ask about Shravanabelagola and its tall Bahubali statue, which stands about 51 km south east of Hassan, a pilgrimage for another day. Malnad filter coffee is the drink to order. Thirty minutes covers the meal and a roll call. Arsikere is roughly 45 km north, through coconut groves.

Snack halt
Arsikere, close to 165 km from Mysore, is a fifteen minute stop beside the main road. Trains matter here, with more than 120 halting daily at Arsikere Junction. Pilgrim groups sometimes add two nearby shrines, the Devamma temple in T Kodihalli village, roughly 10 km off, and the Siddarameshwara gadduge by Banavara, around 12 km. Tiptur, famous for copra auctions, is about 27 km behind us. Kadur lies roughly 38 km further along the highway.

Drive on
The mini bus passes through Kadur, roughly 205 km from Mysore, without stopping. Kadur lies on NH69, the highway that carries on to Shivamogga and down to the coast. Its rainfall is modest for Karnataka's hill districts: about 747 mm in 2018 and 926 mm in 2024. If someone needs to fly home, Shivamogga airport is about 76 km from Kadur. Bhadravathi is roughly 50 km ahead, where the group gets a restroom halt.

Restroom halt
Ten minutes at Bhadravathi, around 255 km out, gives everyone a washroom break. The town owes its name of steel town to the plant now called Visvesvaraya Iron and Steel. For a temple minded group, the Lakshmi Narasimha shrine, three sanctums built around 1250 CE, is worth planning on the way home. Monsoon here runs June to early October. Shivamogga is roughly 20 km ahead, under half an hour for the mini bus.

Group drop
Six hours of driving, halts counted, bring the mini bus into Shivamogga (Shimoga), and the driver takes the group to the hotel gate. The Tunga flows through the city at about 569 m, and locals call it the door to Malnad. For the next days, Hosanagara lies some 66 km away, Kodachadri roughly 78 km and Kollur around 130 km. Areca and appe midi pickle fill the shops. Ask for a hotel with space for a mini bus.

October to March, when the weather is cool and clear and the forest sights are easy to reach. June to early October is the rainy season: Jog Falls and the other district falls are full, but outdoor plans get wet. School groups often pick November to February, when days are cool for walking.
It is possible, since the road is highway, but a night drive means a tired group and hotel rooms that are not ready at dawn. A 6 am start reaches Shivamogga by lunch with breakfast on the way. For the return, leave Shivamogga after breakfast to reach Mysore by evening.
