Group pickup
Pilgrim vans to the Kaveri's source leave Mysore in the dark, around 6:15, because three and a half hours of road and halts separate the city from the hilltop. We pick up from two spots at most, perhaps a house in Vijayanagar and then the suburban bus stand, so nobody waits long. Anyone shopping for Mysore souvenirs should note rosewood inlay and gold foil Mysore paintings, but those are for the return. Once loaded, the tempo traveller slips onto the ring road towards the west.
Breakfast
Hunsur, reached after 45 km, is breakfast time for the van. A dozen or more pilgrims are fed in about twenty minutes at hotels where the bill stays small. Tobacco research has a home here, at a station run by ICAR, and fields of the crop line the approach. If someone wants the Jain hill of Gommatagiri, it lies back near Bilikere and suits the homeward leg. Kushalnagar is another 45 km of NH275, and the real climbing starts beyond it.
Tea halt
Kushalnagar, about 90 km from Mysore, gives the van group a tea and restroom halt of fifteen minutes. Eateries in town do vegetarian meals and Kerala style fish and meat dishes, useful for dinner on the way back. Kanive, about 9 km north, has a hanging bridge over the Kaveri. The town is congested because NH275 is being widened, so the van waits on a side street. Madikeri is about 30 km ahead.
Lunch
Madikeri is the lunch stop, about 120 km out. The town was founded by Mudduraja of the Haleri dynasty in 1681, and Kodagu came under the British in 1834. For lunch, Kodava dishes such as noolputtu with a curry or akki otti suit the group, and vegetarian meals are easy. The bee keepers' cooperative near the post office sells honey. Talacauvery is about 48 km on, and Bhagamandala 33 to 39 km, on a narrower road.
Temple halt
Bhagamandala, around 155 km from Mysore, is the halt before the final climb, and devotees normally take a dip here before heading uphill. At midday the temple feeds visitors for free, a plain spread of rice, sambar and buttermilk. Rain is the town's other claim: in 2018 the gauge read about 5,585 mm. A van group needs only half an hour at the shrine. Above, 8 km of steep bends lead to the source.
Hilltop arrival
The tempo traveller reaches Talacauvery about three and a half hours from Mysore. The temple tank on Brahmagiri is the traditional source of the Kaveri, at about 1,276 m. Mist is common, and the area gets close to 700 cm of rain a year, so carry rain jackets even in October. Mid October brings Kaveri Sankramana, when thousands come. The Kerala border is close by. Leave the top by mid afternoon to drive down in light.

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. 👍

The Mysore to Talacauvery distance is about 165 km one way, so about 330 km there and back. The tempo traveller goes by NH275 through Hunsur and Kushalnagar to Madikeri, then about 48 km on the hill road through Bhagamandala. Allow about three and a half hours in the van with breakfast and short halts.
A night allowance for the driver applies only if the drive runs late into the night. You see it in the quote first. The night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
The 12 seater. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes, to the temple parking.
Sure. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
Both are added, with parking.
Kaveri Sankramana in mid October, when water rises in the temple tank at a fixed moment, brings thousands of pilgrims. Tula Sankramana on 17 or 18 October fills Bhagamandala too. On those days the hill road is slow and parking fills early. Leave Mysore before dawn, or pick an ordinary weekday when the hill is quiet.
For a big group it helps. The round trip is about 330 km, and an overnight in Madikeri splits it in two. Drop the bags at the hotel first, so the van climbs to Talacauvery light, then return to Madikeri for the night. The next morning the group can see Madikeri town before heading back to Mysore.
