Group pickup
The mini bus collects the group at one or two agreed points, for example the railway station and a hotel near the palace. We leave at 5:30, as Topslip stops forest entry around 4 pm. On the way home, shops and most restaurants in Mysore close before 10 pm, so if the group wants dinner or sweets in the city, we plan the return to arrive in time. Topslip is about 285 km away, around seven hours with halts.
Tea and diesel
Chamarajanagar is the mini bus tea and diesel stop on the Topslip run, 60 km from Mysore. The district headquarters has a railway station on the Mysore line, which helps if someone joins the group late. Give everyone twenty minutes and one meeting spot by the bus. After this town the Sathyamangalam forest and the Dhimbam ghat run on for a long stretch with nowhere to stop, so the restroom comes first and the snacks come out once the bus is moving.
Forest stretch
The Dhimbam ghat, at about 115 km, is 27 hairpin bends from the Hasanur forest down to Bannari. The mini bus takes them slowly in low gear, with no halts. The ban on this ghat covers vehicles of 12 wheels or more and very heavy trucks, so a mini bus is allowed. Elephants cross this road often, as the reserve is one of their main corridors, so the group watches from the windows. Keep bags off the aisle on the bends.
Breakfast
Sathyamangalam, at 145 km, gives the Topslip group breakfast below the ghat. Order a set breakfast for twenty and pay one bill, which saves a lot of time. Buses leave the town often for Coimbatore, Erode and Tiruppur, useful if someone has to go home early. The mini bus parks near the bus stand on NH948. Coimbatore is about 65 km ahead, lunch is planned at Pollachi, and Topslip is roughly four hours off with the halts.
Tea for the group
Coimbatore, at about 210 km, is the Topslip group's quick tea before the mini bus heads south for the Anamalai hills. Small messes sell potato rice cheaply. Coimbatore's Siruvani water is famous for its taste, so every bottle gets filled; Topslip has no shops. Forgotten torches, caps or chargers should be bought here. Pollachi lies about 40 km ahead. Topslip is 75 km of road from Coimbatore for the group. Topslip follows a head count at Coimbatore, 75 km on.
Lunch
Pollachi, about 250 km along, is lunch for the Topslip group. Order for twenty ahead so the plates are ready. The town trades in jaggery, vegetables and cattle, and Aliyar dam lies at the foot of the Anamalai hills not far away. Fill the tank and buy water and snacks for the evening. Topslip is about 37 km on, past Anaimalai, and the afternoon climb is slow, so keep the halt to forty minutes.
Mini bus tea break
Anaimalai, around 265 km from Mysore, is the group's final town before the Topslip forest. Fifteen minutes cover tea, washrooms and diesel at the roadside pumps. The leader counts all twenty before the door closes, because the next halt is the reserve reception. Beyond town the road rises gently through the Anamalai hills, about 20 km, with the gate check first. Topslip is 20 km of road from Anaimalai for the group. Topslip follows a head count at Anaimalai, 20 km on.
Reception drop
The mini bus reaches the Topslip reception about seven hours after Mysore. Forest timings here are about 7 am to 4 pm, so the group should be at the counter before 3. The name Topslip comes from the old practice of sliding timber logs down the hill. For the night, use the forest cottages if they are booked, or the bus takes the group back down to Pollachi hotels. Keep voices low near the reception, as animals come close in the evenings.
Need a Mysore to Topslip mini bus for a forest trip, about twenty of you? The group stays together all the way. Pickup is from your hotel near the palace, Mysore railway station or the city bus stand, anywhere in Mysuru. Topslip is also written Top Slip. We have arranged mini bus on rent in Mysore since 2009.

The Mysore to Topslip distance is about 285 km by road, or about 570 km both ways. The mini bus takes the Chamarajanagar road and the Dhimbam ghat to Sathyamangalam and Coimbatore, then Pollachi and Anaimalai. With breakfast and lunch it takes about 7 hours.
The 25 seater: all get a seat and the bags go in. See the sizes on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Safaris and stays are booked with the forest department. Weekends fill up, so book early.
Sure. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
They are extra: GST, tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit and parking go on the bill at actual cost.
Yes. Any driving after 10 pm adds the driver's night allowance, shown in your quote before booking. The night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Only if we start late. In the ten Dasara days, police divert traffic around the palace and the old city, and on Vijayadashami most roads into Mysore are shut to vehicles. For a Topslip group in that season, the mini bus boards near the ring road at 5 am instead of 5:30, so the 4 pm forest cut off is still met comfortably.
Then we do not enter. Topslip's forest timings are about 7 am to 4 pm, and the reserve does not admit groups after hours. The mini bus halts the night at Pollachi, about 37 km back, and goes up early the next morning. That is why we leave Mysore at 5:30 and keep the halts short.
