Group pickup
Pick one gathering spot for the mini bus, perhaps the suburban bus stand or a college gate, and share it with everyone. It joins the ring road, which meets the Bannur road, and heads east for about 80 km. Plan on about two hours with a tea halt. Mysore bonda with coconut chutney is a tea time snack in the city, and a parcel of them travels well for a group. Load bags into the rear first, then seat elders at the front.
Drive on
Bannur is the first town, about 25 to 27 km by road, and the mini bus keeps going. It is a municipal town of Mysore district in T Narasipura taluk, and the road to Somanathapura branches off here on the right. Twenty people getting down this early would cost too much time, so the first halt is at Malavalli. The road narrows through the town centre, and the driver slows for buses and bikes. The falls are about 50 km further.
Tea for the group
Malavalli is the place for the group's tea and restroom break, about 55 km from Mysore. Twenty minutes is right for twenty people. The town is a taluk headquarters in Mandya district, and the Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary and Muthathi are among its nearby sights. Halagur, on the road to Kanakapura, is about 21 km the other way. For the falls, the mini bus continues on the Kollegal road and crosses the Kaveri. About 25 km remain.
Village stretch
Shivanasamudra village is about 75 km from Mysore, and the road from here leads to the two viewpoints. They lie a few km apart, one on the Malavalli side and one on the Kollegal side of the river, so the driver plans one after the other. A mini bus can manage the village road at a slow pace. No halt here; the parking is about 5 km on, and that is where the group gets down.
Group drop
The mini bus reaches the falls about two hours after leaving Mysore. The driver drops the group at the viewpoint parking and waits there. Give everyone one meeting point and one time, because twenty people spread out quickly on the steps. July to October brings the fullest water; by summer the falls thin out. The stalls sell tea and corn, so carry a packed lunch or plan to eat in Malavalli on the way back.
Planning a Mysore to Shivanasamudra Falls mini bus for a group of 15 to 25? For Shivanasamudra, a mini bus is the size between a tempo traveller and a full bus. Any address in Mysuru works for pickup. Pickup is from a kalyana mantapa after a wedding or hotels on JLB Road and Nazarbad. The full size list is on mini bus on rent in Mysore; we have run it since 2009.

The falls are about 80 km from Mysore, so the round trip is about 160 km. The mini bus goes by the Bannur road through Bannur and Malavalli and then across the Kaveri. Allow about two hours of driving each way for a mini bus, including a short tea halt.
Only if the driver drives late at night; then a night allowance is added. It is shown in the quote. The mini bus night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
They are extra. Toll and parking receipts are added at actual, and GST goes on the final bill.
Shivanasamudra: the 25 seater, room for bags. See every size on mini bus on rent in Mysore. For this trip it is ₹10,800 for 300 km at ₹36/km, plus ₹700 allowance for the driver.
Yes, as one day trip from Mysore. Somnathpur first, then Talakadu, then the falls in the afternoon. Our mini bus stays inside the 300 km day.
Yes. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
It is still a good day out, but the falls are much thinner from March to May, when they fall to a few streams. The best water is from July to October. In summer we start early so the group sees the falls in the cooler morning, and we keep the return before the afternoon heat on the plains between Malavalli and Mysore.
Fix one meeting point at the parking and one return time before anyone gets down. Pair children with an adult, since the steps are wet and steep. The driver stays with the mini bus, so bags can be left inside. A head count when you board again saves the usual search for the one person still taking photos.
