Pickup in Mysuru
Flying in? The Urbania can wait at Mysore airport in Mandakalli, or collect you from a home or a palace side hotel. It reaches the Bannur road by the ring road, so the drive east starts without city traffic. The falls are about 80 km away. If anyone in the group wants Mysore silk, sandalwood or incense, keep that shopping for the evening you return. Seats recline and there is room at the back for a cool box and a bag of dry clothes.
Drive on
Bannur comes about 30 km from the city, and the Urbania passes through without stopping. Here the road towards Somanathapura turns off on the right; the temple there is about 32 km from Mysore by that route, so it pairs well with the falls on a full day. The van keeps to the main road, and Malavalli is roughly 25 km ahead. Elders can rest; there are no ghats on this route.
Tea halt
Malavalli, about 24 km south of Maddur on the Kollegal road, is the tea halt. Fifteen minutes is enough for the group to stretch and use the restrooms. A temple with an ornate gate stands near a lake in the town, and Shimsha falls, with its hydro station, is also in this taluk. The first viewpoint is about 18 km on, across the Kaveri bridge. If anyone needs medicines or snacks, this is the last proper market before the falls.
Village road
At Shivanasamudra village, about 75 km from Mysore, the Urbania leaves the highway behind. The hydro station here opened in 1902, with M. Visvesvaraya among its planners, and its first power went to the Kolar Gold Fields. Locals call the falls Bluff, so that is the word to use if you ask for directions. The village needs no stop; the viewpoint is about 5 km ahead and the van parks there.
Drop at the falls
The Urbania reaches the falls about an hour and a half after pickup and stops close to the viewpoint entry, so elders walk very little. The falls drop about 91 m in all and spread wide in the monsoon, so the noise and spray are strong from August. Stalls sell tea and corn near the parking. Keep an hour or two at the falls, then drive back through Malavalli for a proper meal. The van waits at the parking while you are at the viewpoints.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

The falls are about 80 km from Mysore, about 160 km there and back. The Urbania takes the ring road and the Bannur road through Bannur and Malavalli. Count on about an hour and a half of driving each way in the Urbania.
The drive is short, so most groups eat at Shivanasamudra Falls or in Mysore before leaving. The Urbania can stop for tea along the way.
No. GST, tolls and parking for Shivanasamudra are added at actual over the ₹40/km fare.
The 12 seater. Shivanasamudra at ₹40/km for any size is ₹12,700 for 300 km, with ₹700 driver bata. See every size on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
On request, yes. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
If the return runs late at night, the driver gets a night allowance. You see it in the quote first. The night bata is ₹700.
Yes. The road from Mysore through Bannur and Malavalli is on the plains, so rain slows it a little but does not close it. The best flow is from July to October, which is also when the viewpoint steps are wet and slippery. On monsoon weekends the parking fills by late morning, so we suggest an early start from Mysore.
Yes, and it is a good idea, since food at the falls is limited to stalls with tea and snacks. Pack lunch in a cool box and keep it under the back seats. Carry plenty of water and paper plates, and bring the rubbish back. The driver can also stop at Malavalli on the way home if the group prefers a hot meal.
