Group boarding
Twenty devotees board at 5:30, at Mandakalli airport, a hotel or the railway station. The ring road links to the Hunsur road, so the mini bus never enters the busy centre. At Bilikere, around 25 km out, it turns off at the big overhead board onto SH57 for KR Nagar and Hassan. On the way home the mini bus can drop each member at their door or at one agreed corner. Sirsi is about nine and a half hours away.

Breakfast
The group breakfasts at Hassan, 120 km from Mysore, while the mini bus takes on fuel. Hassan Junction station lies on the Mangalore to Hassan to Mysore line, and Sakleshpur, the last town before the Shiradi ghat, is about 40 km west. Thirty minutes is enough for twenty plates if the driver phones ahead. Count heads before leaving. Kadur is about 80 km on, through farmland. Ask the hotel to pack fruit for the road.

Tea
Kadur, 200 km from Mysore, gives the group fifteen minutes for tea while the mini bus parks on the main road beside the state bus depot. The hill station of Kemmangundi is about 42 km from Kadur, a cool hill trip for another season, and the Bhadra dam lies further on near Bhadravathi. The group leader should take a head count here. Shivamogga, for lunch, is about 75 km ahead, and the land grows greener from here on.

Lunch
The group lunches in Shivamogga, Shimoga on most signboards, at 275 km, in a hotel with a hall big enough for twenty. Forty five minutes is enough. Hosanagara lies about 66 km from here and Kollur about 130 km, on a different road. Our mini bus continues on NH69 to Sagar, about 75 km, and Sirsi is about 145 km away. The group should use the washrooms before the long run north.

Tea
Twenty minutes of tea at Sagar, 350 km out, let the group stretch before the forest climb. Shops in town sell appe midi, the tangy tender mango pickle of this area, along with areca, pepper and other spices. For a club that likes camping, Honnemaradu on the Linganamakki backwaters lies about 35 km away. Then the mini bus heads north through Siddapur to Sirsi, about 70 km, and the road begins to wind.

Drive through
Siddapur, 390 km from Mysore, is a forest town of areca, cardamom and pepper gardens, and the mini bus drives through it. The road then climbs over the hills to Sirsi, 30 km on, with bends and forest on both sides, so the driver slows down. If the group needs a quick stop, tea shops stand on the main road. Leaders can share the hotel room list now. The leader can hand out room numbers on the way.

Arrival
The mini bus reaches Sirsi about 10 to 10.5 hours after Mysore and drops the group at the hotel. Simple lodges and hotels in town suit a group of twenty. The town sits at about 611 m, with very high rain in the monsoon. Rice is the main food crop, and a Havyaka meal with tambli is the local dinner. Honey and spices are sold in the market. Dinner can be ordered from the hotel in advance.

Sirsi is about 420 km from Mysore by road, about 840 km for the round trip. The mini bus takes Hassan, Kadur and Shivamogga (Shimoga), then Sagar and Siddapur. It needs about 10 to 10.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts.
Sirsi with up to 16 people: the 16 seater; about 20: the 20 seater; 22 to 25 people: the 22 or 25 seater. All sizes are on our mini bus on rent in Mysore page.
Yes, on request. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
Yes, slowly. The last road is narrow and winding; the mini bus parks below the rocks.
A night bata applies when driving goes past 10 pm; we show it in the written quote. It is ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night for the mini bus.
No. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
They stay open, but the Devimane, Vaddi and Doddamane ghats around Sirsi can be slippery from June to September. The mini bus goes slowly and plans the forest stretch in daylight. October to February is the easier season for a group.
We prefer daylight for the forest stretch from Sirsi to Sagar. Leaving Sirsi after breakfast brings the mini bus to Mysore by evening. A night return tires the group and the driver, and the forest roads are slower in the dark.
