Campus pickup
The coach leaves your campus, the city bus stand or a central hotel in Mysuru at 5, with the trek group of up to forty. During palace events, Doddakere Maidan is used for parking, which can help if your group gathers near the palace. The coach takes the highway towards Srirangapatna and branches off at Pandavapura for KR Pet. Unchalli is about ten hours away. Bags go in the hold with name tags.

Breakfast
The coach pulls in for breakfast at KR Pet after 55 km. This taluk town of Mandya district has hotels on its main road with space for a bus and kitchens that can feed a big trek group together. Thirty five minutes covers breakfast and the first head count of the day. Monday mornings are best avoided, as the coconut market brings carts and lorries into the centre. Arsikere is about 100 km ahead, via Channarayapatna.

Tea
Arsikere, 155 km from Mysore, is a short tea halt for the coach, which waits on the main road because the old lanes are too tight. Fifteen minutes is enough for tea and the washrooms. History fans in the group can be told about Nagapuri, a fort on Hirekal hill some 11 km north of town, not on today's route. Leaders should count heads again here. From Arsikere, NH69 carries the coach about 95 km to Shivamogga for lunch.

Lunch
The trek group lunches in Shivamogga, which most still call Shimoga, after 250 km. Several large hotels in this city can seat a full coach at once, so forty five minutes covers lunch and a head count. From June to early October heavy rain slows the forest roads beyond, and the coach then allows extra time. Sagar is roughly 75 km ahead, and the falls about 140 km, so the group should eat a proper meal.

Tea
Afternoon tea for the coach is at Sagar, 325 km out, with the bus waiting on the main road. Trekkers who must head home early can use Sagara Jambagaru station, which has express trains to Mysuru. For anyone who loves old stone, the Aghoreshwara temple at Ikkeri lies about 6 km away by a diversion, though it is not part of today's plan. Fifteen minutes here, then 30 km to Siddapur.

Tea
Siddapur, 355 km from Mysore, is the coach's last tea and washroom halt. Many trek groups make this town or Sirsi their base. The coach parks on the main road while everyone fills water bottles and changes into shoes that grip. The final stretch, roughly 35 km through Heggarne, is narrow and winding, so the coach moves slowly and may need care turning at the end. Leaders should brief the group on the walk now.

Parking and steps
The coach reaches the parking at the head of the Unchalli path about ten hours after Mysore. From here the group goes down through the forest to the viewpoint over the gorge, and the climb back up takes longer than the walk down. Leaders should fix a return time and count heads both ways. In the rainy months the steps and the Sirsi side ghats are slippery. Sirsi, about 30 km away, has hotels for a group of this size.
Thinking of Mysore to Unchalli Falls bus hire for a college trek or a nature club of 35? Unchalli pairs well with Jog, Sirsi and Sahasralinga on a three-day trip, and one bus keeps your group together. We board at a Mysuru campus, the city bus stand or a hotel near the palace.

About 390 km from Mysore to Unchalli Falls by road, so about 780 km for the round trip. The bus runs via KR Pet, Arsikere and Shivamogga (Shimoga), then Sagar and Siddapur. A full bus needs about 10 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts.
From August to December. In heavy rain the steps get slippery; go with care.
The 33 seater. Sizes on bus on rent in Mysore.
One way is on request, at ₹2 more per km than the return rate. The billed km are fixed in the written quote.
The last road through Heggarne is narrow forest, so we drive it only by day. If the driver still works late into the night, the night bata on the rate card applies. The night bata is ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size.
No. A 49 seater for 3 days, 900 km at ₹54/km is ₹51,600 with ₹3,000 driver bata. Tolls, parking and GST are added at actual.
It is narrow. The road from Siddapur by Heggarne runs through forest, and the ghat roads near Sirsi can be slippery in the monsoon, so the coach goes slowly and parks at the top of the path. A group of 32 to 40 fits one coach; larger groups may suit two mini buses.
Big bags go in the hold with name tags. Each person should carry a small day pack with water, a rain jacket and a spare pair of socks, as the falls path is damp most of the year. Keep medicines in the day pack, since the hold opens only at the hotel.
