One gate for the bus
Pilgrim coaches leave from a single gathering place, and for Venur we suggest a temple hall or school ground on the western side of the city, so the coach slips onto the Hunsur road in minutes. Everyone should be in their seat by 5:30 am, with big bags already stowed in the hold and only water and shawls on board. The coordinator calls the names before the door shuts. A big group needs about six and a half hours for the 260 km, so punctuality matters.

Breakfast for forty
Hunsur, the first town on the Coorg road, is where the coach party has breakfast. Its highway hotels are used to seating forty at once, and with simple orders the idli, vada and coffee arrive within thirty five minutes, toilets included. Two state highways also begin here, SH 86 towards HD Kote and SH 90 towards Kutta, so road signs point several ways; our driver keeps to the Kushalnagar road. The coordinator counts heads before departure.

Drive through
The coach rolls straight through Kushalnagar, the riverside town where traffic is heavy on both the Mysore and Madikeri roads and the highway is being widened. Its bus station links the town to Mangalore, Ernakulam and Madurai, so buses crowd the centre at all hours. Stopping a coach here would cost time, and Madikeri, the next proper halt, is only 30 km further up the hill. Families who want monastery visits can plan Bylakuppe for the return.

Diesel and tea
Madikeri, high and misty at roughly 1,170 m, is the last town before the coach starts down to the coast, so the tank is filled here. Forty people get twenty minutes for tea and the toilets. In past monsoons Kodagu has barred heavy vehicles from its hill roads during red alerts, which is why we ring local contacts before any July or August departure. Once the group is back on board, the Sampaje bends begin almost at once.

Drive through
By Sullia the coach has finished the Sampaje ghat, about 50 km of curves down from Madikeri, and areca and rubber plantations line the road. There is no halt here, because lunch is planned at Uppinangady and forty people stop more efficiently once. The coordinator can use this stretch to brief the group on the plan at Venur, the meeting point and the return time. Uppinangady is 45 km on.

Lunch for forty
Lunch for the coach is at Uppinangady, the town where the Kumaradhara joins the Netravati. A highway hotel can seat forty for coastal meals in about forty five minutes. In the monsoon the rivers here rise fast, and the Shiradi ghat on NH75 above has had closures, one reason we route coaches by Sampaje instead. Venur is about 45 km away on a quieter road that leaves the highway here.

Group drop
The coach parks on the open ground near the statue compound at Venur, leaving a short walk to the gate. Shoes stay outside the compound, so ask the group to leave footwear on the bus. Snacks and coastal meals are sold nearby. For the night, Moodabidri, about 20 km away, and Mangalore, about 50 km, both have hotels that can take forty with coach parking. Coastal food here is simple and quick for a group.

For a coach the Bahubali village is about 260 km out, close to 520 km for the full return. The bus travels by Hunsur, Kushalnagar and Madikeri, the Sampaje descent and Sullia, and turns off NH75 at Uppinangady. Forty pilgrims with halts should allow around 6.5 hours.
If the return runs late at night, the driver gets a night allowance. Rate card figure: ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night.

October to March, when the coast is dry and the Sampaje ghat is clear for buses. From June to September the rain is very heavy, the rivers at Uppinangady rise fast, and heavy vehicles can be held back on Kodagu ghat roads during alerts. April and May are hot, so plan visits early in the day.
Moodabidri, about 20 km away, and Mangalore, about 50 km, both have hotels that take forty people with bus parking. Most groups visit Venur, then stay at Moodabidri or Mangalore and see the other Jain sites the next morning before driving back to Mysore.
