Coach pickup
Fifty people board fastest from a single wide spot, such as the station forecourt or a school ground. For a city centre pickup, note that the Town Hall multi level parking near the palace takes cars only, not buses. The coach uses the ring road and the Bannur road, about 80 km in all, around two hours. Ask everyone to come ten minutes early so the bags go into the hold in one go.

Drive on
Bannur, about 30 km out, is a busy small town with a narrow main road, so the coach passes through slowly and does not stop. The Somanathapura road turns off here; for a full bus that is a separate plan, since the temple roads are tight. On Vijayadashami, vehicles coming in by the Bannur road have been barred from entering Mysore, so do not book the return for that day. Malavalli is about 25 km ahead.

Group tea halt
The coach pulls in at Malavalli, roughly 55 km out, where the main road has room for a bus to stand. Fifty people can manage tea and restrooms in twenty minutes if they move together. This taluk also holds the Shimsha falls and the old power house at Shimshapura, but those make a separate outing. After Malavalli the Kollegal road crosses the Kaveri, and the turn for the falls follows the bridge.

Village road
The coach passes Shivanasamudra village about 75 km from Mysore. The roads here are narrower, so the driver goes slowly and gives way to local buses. The village grew around the hydro station that opened in 1902 and first sent power to the Kolar Gold Fields. A full bus does not stop here; the viewpoint parking is about 5 km ahead, and that is where fifty people can get down safely.

Coach drop
The bus reaches the falls about two hours after pickup and drops the group at the viewpoint parking, then parks where coaches are allowed. Give one meeting point and one return time, and do a head count before leaving. The water is fullest from July to October, and the steps are slippery then, so teachers and group leaders should stay with the children. Stalls sell tea and snacks only, so lunch for fifty is best planned in Malavalli or packed from Mysore.

The falls are about 80 km from Mysore one way, so the bus covers about 160 km for the round trip. The coach takes the Bannur road through Bannur and Malavalli and then crosses the Kaveri. A full bus needs about two hours each way, with a tea halt at Malavalli.
No, they are separate. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. The quote lists it. For the bus: ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night.
August to October, after the monsoon, when the Kaveri is full. In summer the falls are thin, but the bus trip runs the same in any month.
Yes. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
The 49 seater, so everyone sits and a few seats are spare. On this trip it is ₹17,200 for 300 km at ₹54/km, plus ₹1,000 driver bata. All sizes are on bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, as far as the viewpoint parking. The road from Mysore through Bannur and Malavalli is a plain highway, and the coach crosses the Kaveri on the main bridge. The last stretch through Shivanasamudra village is narrower, so the driver goes slowly there. In the monsoon the parking fills on weekends, so an early start gets the bus a good spot.
Yes. There is no forest or ghat on this route, and the road to Mysore is open at night. Still, we suggest leaving the falls by late afternoon, because counting fifty students in poor light is hard and the village roads have little lighting. Teachers should keep a list of names and phone numbers, and do a head count before the bus moves.
