Pickup at one point
Fifty pilgrims need one easy landmark, and the city bus stand near KR Circle is one everybody in Mysore knows. The coach waits on a wide side road close by, not inside the stand. Bilikere, about 25 km out on the Hunsur road, is where it leaves for the state highway to Hassan. The whole run to Varanga is about 325 km, and a full coach needs around eight hours at the wheel, so the group should be seated by five. Ask everyone to keep one small bag inside and the rest in the hold.
Breakfast
Breakfast for fifty at KR Nagar is easier in two halves, so the coordinator sends one half to each of two eateries and keeps 40 minutes. The driver avoids the little garden in front of the railway station, where parking is not allowed, and waits on the main road. Slow trains between Mysore and Hassan stop at this station, so the level crossing can hold the bus for a few minutes. From here Holenarasipura is about 45 km and Hassan about 33 to 35 km beyond.
Tea stop
Hassan, at about 120 km, is a short restroom and diesel halt, 15 minutes and strict. The KSRTC stand is busy with AC Volvo services, so the coach pulls into a large fuel station on the bypass instead. Count heads by seat row before moving. The other road from Hassan goes on to Mangalore, about 171 km, but our bus turns north west, because the Varanga route crosses the ghats through Sringeri and Agumbe, not Shiradi.
Lunch
A coach of fifty needs a hotel with a yard, and Chikmagalur has a few, so lunch is booked a day ahead and runs for an hour. Malnad cooking means akki rotti and kadubu, and the hotel will set out rice meals for a big group. The KSRTC buses from here go down the Charmadi ghat towards Dharmasthala; our bus takes the north west road for Balehonnur instead. The stretch to Sringeri is about 85 km and gets narrow and slow after Balehonnur.
Temple halt
Sringeri gives the group 75 minutes. The bus uses the town parking near the math, and the walk to the gate is short. Feeding fifty is simple here, since the math serves a free lunch to every visitor at midday. For the temple, men put on a dhoti or formal trousers and women a saree or salwar. Leaving Sringeri, the coach climbs about 24 km of forest road to Agumbe, which is slow for a big vehicle, so the coordinator hurries nobody on the bends.
Ghat top
Agumbe, about 290 km from Mysore, is the top of the ghat, and the bus halts 15 minutes. Rain here can be extreme in the monsoon. If heavy rain or an order closes the ghat to big vehicles, we take another way and tell you before the trip. Going down on NH169A, the driver uses low gear and stops if the brakes need to cool. Passengers stay seated, and the aisle is kept clear of bags.
Foot of the ghat
Hebri is the halt after the descent, fifteen minutes for restrooms and tea. It is a crossroads for Udupi, Karkala, Kundapura and Brahmavar, and has a petrol pump and a health centre. People here speak Tulu and Kundagannada, though Kannada works everywhere. The last 10 km to Varanga are on a narrower village road, and a coach takes it at walking pace where it meets oncoming traffic. Fill water bottles here, since Varanga has few shops for fifty people.
Arrival
After about eight hours of driving the coach stops near the lake at Varanga, and fifty pilgrims go round in batches with a leader each. The Jain matha is part of the complex, so follow its rules on dress, footwear and silence. Varanga is a small village with few facilities, so rooms for a big group are booked in Karkala, about 25 km away, or in Udupi. Udupi is also the nearest railhead for anyone leaving by train.
Arranging Mysore to Varanga bus hire for a Jain sangha of 45? One coach from your temple in Mysuru, Sringeri and Karkala on the same tour, and a driver who checks the Agumbe ghat for a full bus before the trip. Get a bus on rent in Mysore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

Varanga lies about 325 km from Mysore, so the bus covers about 650 km there and back. The route is SH57 to Hassan, then Chikmagalur, Sringeri, the Agumbe ghat and Hebri. A full coach needs about 8 hours of driving one way.
The 45 seater. See bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, that works. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
Yes, with parking, at cost.
Usually yes, slowly. We check the ghat status before your date.
Only when the driver drives through the night. A normal tour has none. For the bus: ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night.
Yes, but it is narrower. The last 10 km from Hebri to Varanga are on a village road, slower for a coach, and the driver takes it with care. At Varanga the bus parks near the lake, and the group walks the short distance. For Karkala, the coach uses the parking at the foot of the hill.
Varanga is a small village with few rooms, so a group of fifty stays in Karkala, about 25 km away, or in Udupi, the nearest big town. Book well ahead, especially in the season from October to February. The bus can drop the group at Varanga for the visit and reach the hotel by evening.
