Night pickup
The tempo traveller loads the group at one point in Mysuru at about midnight. Keep a working FASTag in mind: the first toll on the expressway is at Gananguru near Srirangapatna, and the van pays it automatically, even at night. Four hours of driving covers the 210 km, so the group starts walking in the dark and sees dawn from the top. Every trekker should carry a torch, a warm layer, water and an ID; big bags stay in the back. Mandya, 45 km out, is the first town on the road.
Drive through
Mandya is about 45 km out, reached a little after midnight. The town's famous cane juice and the farm meals of ragi mudde are for daytime; at night only fuel stations are open, so the van stops only for a restroom. The group should sleep now. Mandya is the headquarters of a sugarcane district at about 678 m, and on the way home in daylight its stalls are worth a halt. Ramanagara, about 50 km on, is where the driver fills fuel before going round the city.
Fuel
At Ramanagara, about 95 km from Mysore, the van halts for fuel and a ten minute stretch. The town is famous for silk; cocoons from here go to the looms that weave Mysore silk. In the dark you will only see the outline of the granite hills, called Closepet granite after the town's old name. The next leg skirts the city and takes well over an hour at night, so use the restroom now.
Drive through
Yelahanka, about 170 km out, is the old northern town of the city, at about 915 m. Doddaballapur Road splits it into Old Town and New Town. The tempo traveller joins the airport highway, NH44, which bypasses the old town on an elevated road. The Air Force station here hosts the Aero India show, when roads to the airport get restrictions, so we check the dates. At night the van keeps rolling; about 40 km remain.
Restroom
Devanahalli comes at about 185 km, and an all night highway stop there gives the group a last restroom break. The town sits next to the airport, which is about 5 km away, so expect airport traffic even at this hour. Winter mornings often bring fog here between about 3 and 8:30, and the driver keeps it slow. Five minutes, then on to the base, about 25 km away. Hand out torches now so nobody searches for them at the trail.
Kalwar village
Kalwar is the village at the foot of the hill, and the tempo traveller waits there with your bags. The path leaves from the back of the Papagni Mutt. At the summit stand a small temple and a pond, with broken fort walls along the way, a good place to wait for sunrise. Keep the group in pairs on the trail in the dark. Check the forest department booking rules before the date, as IDs are checked. Village stalls sell tea once the sun is up.

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. 👍

It is about 210 km one way and about 420 km both ways. The tempo traveller uses the expressway to Ramanagara, goes round the city to Yelahanka and takes NH44 past Devanahalli to the base. At night it takes about 4 hours, so a midnight start reaches the trail before dawn.
Yes. It is about 15 km away. Go before 10 am; the top gets crowded.
The 16 seater. Everyone gets a window or aisle seat. Every size is listed on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
They are extra. Tolls, parking, permits and GST are added at actual cost.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. You see it in the quote first. Expect ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Yes, that works. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
It can. September and October bring the heaviest rain in this region, and a wet trail in the dark is slippery. The forest department may also close the trek in bad weather. In the rainy months we check the forecast and the booking status the evening before, and keep the date flexible.
A torch with spare batteries, a jacket, water, a light snack, the trek booking and an ID card. The hill top is cold before dawn from November to February. Big bags and spare clothes stay in the back of the tempo traveller, which waits at the base until the group comes down.
