Group boarding
Twenty friends gather at 5:30 at Mysuru railway station or a central hotel, and the mini bus loads the bags at the back. The station is easy to reach, with prepaid auto counters for anyone coming from across the city. Our driver heads up NH275 past the island town and swings away towards KR Pet at Pandavapura, keeping the group out of morning traffic. Unchalli is about nine and a half hours away, so the friends arrive in the forest country by late afternoon, with Sirsi as the base.
Breakfast
Breakfast for the twenty is at KR Pet, the Mandya district taluk town 55 km out. A farm family here would serve ragi mudde with naati koli saaru, a country chicken curry, though that is more a lunch on the drive home than a morning plate. Thirty minutes covers the meal. On Mondays a big coconut market can choke the main road, so the mini bus may need a few extra minutes. Arsikere lies about 100 km on, by way of Channarayapatna.
Tea
At Arsikere, 155 km from Mysore, the group stops for tea and tender coconut, the obvious drink in a coconut belt. Copra from these farms is sent to the Tiptur market nearby, where it is auctioned on two days every week. Some of the group may know Javagal, about 33 km away, for its old Lakshminarasimha temple. Fifteen minutes is enough. The mini bus then picks up NH69 for the long leg to Shivamogga, about 95 km.
Lunch
Lunch for the group is in Shivamogga, still signposted Shimoga in places, at 250 km. The city took its new name in 2014 and is a major market for areca nut. Forty minutes lets twenty people eat in one sitting. Students may recognise the name of Kuvempu University, whose campus is about 20 km from the city. From here Sagar is about 75 km on, and the falls lie roughly 140 km away.
Tea
Sagar, 325 km out, is the group's afternoon tea stop. Its kitchens are known for appe midi, a sharp pickle of tender mangoes, and its traders handle areca along with pepper, clove, cinnamon and nutmeg, so a small spice packet is a good buy. Nadakalasi, about 8 km off, keeps temples from the 12th century, for a history group with time on the way back. The mini bus halts fifteen minutes, then runs 30 km to Siddapur.
Tea
The group's last halt before the falls is Siddapur, 355 km from Mysore, a forest town of areca, cardamom and pepper gardens. The mini bus waits by the roadside for fifteen minutes while everyone uses the washrooms and buys water. A state highway, SH48, leaves this town for Kumta on the coast, a route some groups take on the way back. The road on to Unchalli, around 35 km by Heggarne, is narrow, and a mini bus handles it well.
Parking at the path
About nine and a half hours of driving bring the mini bus to the parking at the top of the Unchalli path. The group walks down through forest on a path of steps; keep together, carry water and leave heavy bags on board. The driver waits at the top. From June to September the steps are wet and the ghat roads around Sirsi turn slippery, so take care. For the night, Sirsi, around 30 km away, has hotels that suit a group of twenty.
Booking a Mysore to Unchalli Falls mini bus for 20 friends chasing waterfalls in Uttara Kannada? It is the right size for the narrow Heggarne road and covers Jog and Sirsi too. See mini bus on rent in Mysore. For Unchalli we collect from the Mysuru railway station, a hostel or two homes.

Unchalli Falls is about 390 km from Mysore by road, about 780 km for the round trip. The mini bus takes KR Pet, Arsikere and Shivamogga (Shimoga), then Sagar and Siddapur. It needs about 9.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts.
Yes. Jog is near Sagar along the way. Keep half a day for each.
Unchalli with that group: the 18 or 20 seater. Sizes on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
No. Unchalli Falls in a 20 seater: 3 days, 900 km, ₹30,600, and ₹2,100 driver allowance. Tolls, parking and GST come on top.
Night allowance on the Unchalli Falls run applies after 10 pm: ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
Yes, quoted when you ask. One way costs ₹2 more per km than the return rate; the quote states the km.
Only the first hour. Dasara falls in September or October, and the city then has diversions and crowds round the palace. Leaving at 5:30 am avoids most of it, and we check the Mysore traffic advisory the evening before. The highway north runs as normal.
Yes for the drive, which has halts every hour or two. The falls path has steps, and the climb back is tiring, so elders can wait at the top while the others walk down. Seat them in the front rows and keep their medicines in a hand bag.
