Doorstep pickup
Sirsi is about 420 km from Mysore, a long but simple day, so the driver rings at 5:30 wherever you are, whether a home, a lodge near the zoo or the city bus stand. Instead of the expressway, this trip goes west first, on the road towards Hunsur, and turns right off it at Bilikere for KR Nagar and the state highway to Hassan. If you return on Vijayadashami, police close several entry roads into the city, so check the traffic advisory before you plan the last leg home.
Breakfast
The car pulls in for breakfast at Hassan after 120 km, about two and a half hours from home. Try akki rotti with chutney, and a strong filter coffee. Twenty two km from the city stands Gorur dam on the Hemavathi, 58 m high, and in its backwaters the old Shettihalli church, built by French missionaries in the 1860s, which is half drowned from July to October. Both make a good half day on some other trip. Kadur is about 80 km further north.
Tea
Kadur, 200 km out, gets a quarter hour for tea. Two highways shape this town: NH69, once numbered NH206, and NH173, the old coffee road that climbs towards Chikmagalur. Its railway station sits only 7 km from Birur Junction. Rain here is light compared with the hills, because Kadur lies in a rain shadow. The family should stretch now, since the next stop, Shivamogga for lunch, is about 75 km away and the land grows greener with every km.
Lunch
Lunch is in Shivamogga, which most people still call Shimoga, after 275 km. The city sits on the Tunga, deals heavily in areca nut and marks the edge of Malnad, the forest belt. Kodachadri, the district's highest peak, rises about 78 km away on a different road, a reason to come back one day. Forty five minutes at the table, then NH69 leads on to Sagar, about 75 km, and Sirsi lies roughly 145 km off.
Tea
At Sagar, 350 km out, the family takes twenty minutes of tea on the bank of the Varada. Gudigar carvers in this town shape sandalwood, and a small figure makes a light present. Keladi, home of the Rameshwara temple, lies about 6 km off by the Sorab road diversion if anyone wants a quick look at old stone. Otherwise the car turns north for Siddapur and Sirsi, roughly 70 km of road that soon vanishes into tall forest.
Drive through
Siddapur, 390 km from Mysore, is a small town wrapped in areca, cardamom and pepper gardens, where the real forest begins. The car normally drives straight through, though tea shops line the main road if anyone needs a break. From this town a state highway, SH48, drops down to Kumta on the coast. Sirsi is only about 30 km on, over the hills to the north, so the family arrives within the hour.
Hotel drop
10 to 10.5 hours or so after Mysore, the car stops at your hotel in Sirsi. The town lies at about 611 m, ringed by forest that covers some three quarters of the taluk. Order a Havyaka thali with tambli, a cooling curd preparation, for dinner. The local areca, sold as Sirsi supari, holds a GI tag, and honey and pepper are worth carrying home. Kumta, on the coast, lies about 62 km down the road if the family wants the sea later.
Booking a Mysore to Sirsi cab for four people and the forest falls? By car, about eight hours with breakfast in Hassan and lunch in Shivamogga. Board in Mysuru at a hotel near the zoo or the palace or the city bus stand. We have offered cab rental in Mysore since 2009. Some call it the Mysore to Sirsi taxi; it is the same car with a driver.

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.

Sirsi is about 420 km from Mysore one way, about 840 km for the round trip. The cab goes via Hassan, Kadur and Shivamogga (Shimoga), then Sagar and Siddapur. By car it takes about 10 to 10.5 hours with breakfast at Hassan and lunch at Shivamogga.
If the driver drives after 10 pm, a night allowance is added. The amount is in your quote. Our card says ₹400 per night.
Yes. A Mysore to Sirsi one way taxi is on request; you get the fare before booking.
Four people: Dzire or Etios. Six or seven, or four with lots of luggage: Innova or Innova Crysta. See each car on cab rental in Mysore.
Not included. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
Yes. Add a day. Gokarna is around 100 km away by the ghat road.
It can. The Hasanamba temple in Hassan opens only once a year, for about ten to fourteen days around Deepavali, and the city is very crowded then. The car stays on the highway, but breakfast halts take longer. On other dates Hassan is a quick and easy stop.
Yes. The trip is about 10 to 10.5 hours with halts at Hassan, Kadur, Shivamogga and Sagar, so no stretch is too long. Pack snacks, water and a change of clothes. The last hour is through forest with bends, so children who feel car sick should sit in front.
