Doorstep pickup
Your car arrives at 6, wherever you are in Mysuru: home, a palace side hotel, the station or the bus stand. Sigandur lies 365 km north west, across the Sharavathi backwaters beyond Sagar, so a morning start puts you there by early afternoon. The driver leaves the expressway at Pandavapura for the KR Pet road and stays off the city streets. One planning note for the way home: Mysore shops and most restaurants shut before 10 pm, so a late return leaves little time for shopping.
Tea
KR Pet, the Krishnarajapete taluk town, comes up 55 km into the drive, and a ten minute tea suits a family. Its Monday coconut market can slow the main road, so allow a few extra minutes that day. Thenginaghatta, a village of this taluk, keeps a small Hoysaleswara temple whose inscription dates it to 1133, and the sculptor Bammoja of Kikkeri is named there. Breakfast follows at Channarayapatna, about 35 km ahead.
Breakfast
Channarayapatna, 90 km from Mysore, is the family's breakfast halt on NH75. Twenty minutes covers plates and the washroom. The town is named after the Chennigaraya temple, and Vishnu temples around it go back to Hoysala rule in the 11th century. Gommateshwara stands about 12 km away at Shravanabelagola, but the barefoot climb belongs to another day. From here the car leaves the highway for Arsikere, 55 km on, through coconut and sugarcane farms.
Tea and fuel
Arsikere, 145 km out, is where NH69 begins its run to Shivamogga, and the car tops up fuel here. The town lies in what locals call Kalpataru Nadu, the coconut country, so tender coconut is the obvious drink. If anyone is curious about old forts, Nagapuri on Hirekal hill sits about 11 km north, off our road. Ten minutes, then the long, straight stretch towards Bhadravathi, 85 km on. The driver also checks tyre pressure here before the fast highway section.
Tea
At Bhadravathi, 230 km from Mysore, the car halts ten minutes for tea. The town's three shrine Lakshmi Narasimha temple was built around 1250 in Hoysala style, and its steel plant, Visvesvaraya Iron and Steel, still dominates the skyline. The Bhadra dam at Lakkavalli is about 18 to 20 km off. Shivamogga, the lunch halt, is just 20 km ahead, so keep the tea light. If anyone in the car needs a pharmacy or an ATM, this town is a good place to find one before Shivamogga.
Lunch
Shivamogga, which most people still call Shimoga, is lunch at 250 km. The city on the Tunga is a big areca nut market and the gateway to Malnad. Shivamogga airport lies about 13 km south of the city, in case anyone flies home later. Half an hour at the table is enough. Sagar is about 75 km on along NH69, and Sigandur 115 km, so the afternoon is mostly through green hill country.
Tea
Afternoon tea is at Sagar, 325 km from Mysore, on the Varada river at about 579 m. Small family workshops here, the Gudigars, turn sandalwood into carvings, and the women string fragrant sandalwood garlands. Anyone hungry can ask for akki rotti, the Malnad rice flatbread. In the centre, Ganapathi lake has a temple and a mosque side by side. Ten minutes is enough, since Sigandur lies just 40 km on, across the backwaters. Keep a little cash for the coupon counter and the parking at the far end.
Across the backwaters
About 7.5 to 8 hours after Mysore, the car crosses the Sigandur cable stayed bridge, opened on 14 July 2025 and counted as India's second longest, with a main span of over 2 km over the Sharavathi backwaters. It drops you near the temple entrance. Entry coupons are issued first come, first served, so join the queue early. Dress modestly. The car waits in the parking while you go in.
Is a Mysore to Sigandur cab enough for a Jog Falls and temple weekend, just a few of you? As a Mysore to Sigandur taxi it works one way or both ways. The Sigandur cab comes for you anywhere in Mysuru, be it a hotel by the palace, the station, the bus stand or Mandakalli airport. See cab rental in Mysore for the cars; we have run cabs from Mysore since 2009.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Sigandur is about 365 km from Mysore one way, about 730 km for the round trip. The cab goes via KR Pet, Channarayapatna, Arsikere, Bhadravathi and Shivamogga (Shimoga) to Sagar, then across the new Sigandur bridge. By car it is about 7.5 to 8 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts.
Yes, a night allowance for the driver applies after 10 pm. It is in the written quote, so nothing comes as a surprise. Rate card figure: ₹400 a night.
Sigandur with six: an Innova or Innova Crysta. Every car we run is on cab rental in Mysore. Six people and their bags fit.
Yes. A Mysore to Sigandur one way taxi is quoted on request.
Leave by 6:00 am. With the halts on this page you reach Sigandur in about 7.5 to 8 hours. A car is flexible; leave later if you like.
They are extra. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
The monsoon from June to September fills the Sharavathi backwaters, so the view from the bridge is at its widest. Rain also makes the Malnad road after Shivamogga slower, and the driver keeps a careful pace. October to March is drier and easier for a relaxed visit.
Yes. The trip is about 7.5 to 8 hours with five halts, so no leg is very long. Keep snacks, water and a change of clothes in the car, and an umbrella in the rainy months. Children enjoy the long bridge over the water near the end. Ask at booking if you need a child seat.
