Pickup for the group
Our tempo traveller starts from your hotel gate, a family home or the station forecourt, whichever suits the group. It joins the ring road and takes the Bannur road east towards the falls. With about 80 km to cover, a start after an early breakfast is fine. Idli sambar, served as idlis floating in a bowl of hot sambar, is a quick Mysore breakfast before a day out. Load water, snacks and towels; the spray at the falls can soak you in the monsoon.
Drive on
Bannur, in T Narasipura taluk, is the first town on this road, about 30 km from Mysore. The tempo traveller does not stop; with a dozen people it is better to keep the first halt for Malavalli. Bannur is where you would turn off for the Somanathapura temple on a longer day. The town had about 21,900 people in 2011, and the main road can be busy on market mornings, so the driver takes it slowly. About 50 km remain to the falls.
Tea and restrooms
Malavalli comes about 55 km from Mysore, and fifteen minutes here gives the group tea and a restroom before the falls. Muthathi, with its Anjaneya temple on the Kaveri, and the Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary are both listed among the sights of this taluk, which is useful if you plan an overnight trip later. The road ahead crosses the Kaveri on the way to Kollegal, and the falls turn is just after the bridge. Shivanasamudra is about 25 km from here.
Through the village
Shivanasamudra village lies about 75 km from Mysore, near the old hydro power station. The road splits here for the two falls, which sit a few km apart on either side of the river, so the driver asks the group which side to see first. A tempo traveller fits the village roads easily. No halt is needed; the viewpoint parking is about 5 km on. If the group wants a guide or a coracle, ask at the parking rather than on the village road.
Drop at the falls
The tempo traveller reaches the falls about an hour and a half after pickup. The driver stops near the viewpoint and the group walks down from there. The flow is best from July to October, and on monsoon weekends the parking fills, so an early arrival helps. Children should hold an adult's hand on the wet steps. Tea and snacks are sold at the stalls near the parking, but there is little else, so a packed lunch for twelve saves time.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

Count roughly 80 km to the viewpoints, which makes 160 km in all when you come back the same day. Our tempo traveller runs east via Bannur and Malavalli, and with a dozen people on board the drive takes around ninety minutes each way, a little more with a tea stop.
It runs only when the river is calm and the staff allow it, with life jackets. If the water is high it is closed, and the tempo traveller goes on to Gaganachukki instead.
Yes, quoted when you ask. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
No. Shivanasamudra is in Karnataka, so no state permit applies. Tolls, parking and GST are extra at actual cost.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. The quote lists it. For the tempo traveller: ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Shivanasamudra: the 16 seater; the spare seats take big bags. Here it comes to ₹9,600 for 300 km at ₹32/km, plus ₹600 driver allowance. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
July to October is the best time, when the Kaveri is full and both falls run wide. The road is fine in the rain, but the steps at the viewpoints are slippery. By summer the water thins to a few streams, and the plains are hot, so in March to May we suggest leaving Mysore early and returning before the afternoon heat.
Yes. It is a short morning drive with no ghat, and you are welcome to fix your own child seat in one of the rows. At the falls the steps are steep and wet, so carry small children and keep them away from the railings. Pack a change of clothes, since the spray in the monsoon soaks everyone, and keep snacks in the van.
