Pickup at your door
The car comes to your home at 6:30 am, with no meeting point to reach. Venur is about 260 km away, roughly four and a half hours by car with breaks, so you arrive soon after noon. If you want to take something from Mysore to friends on the coast, the city is known for silk sarees, sandalwood carvings and incense sticks; the shops open late, so buy them the day before. The car joins the Hunsur road from the ring road and heads west.

Breakfast at Hunsur
Breakfast at Hunsur, 45 km from home, takes about fifteen minutes at a plain highway hotel. Families on a Jain pilgrimage may want to note Gommatagiri, the small hill with a Bahubali statue off this road near Bilikere, about 20 to 25 km before Hunsur; it is an easy hour on the way back. Hunsur itself is a quiet tobacco and timber town on the Lakshmana Tirtha river. Kushalnagar is about 40 km on.

Coffee and chocolates
Kushalnagar is the riverside town at the gate of Coorg, about 90 km from Mysore, with the Kaveri looping round three sides of it. A ten minute coffee halt is optional. Chocolate makers, coffee roasters and spice sellers line the bazaar, and a box of the local chocolates rides happily in the boot. The town's main road is jammed most of the day, so our driver pulls up in a quieter lane. Madikeri lies 30 km ahead. Bylakuppe's Golden Temple, about 6 km back towards Mysore, is another easy add on for the drive home if the family enjoys monasteries.

View and fuel
Madikeri is the hill town at about 1,170 m, and Raja's Seat, the valley viewpoint, is about a kilometre into town if anyone wants a quick look. Ten minutes for tea and a fuel top up is enough. After this the road drops through the Sampaje ghat to Sullia, about 50 km of curves, so whoever feels car sick should take the front seat. Coorg Arabica coffee, with its GI tag, is the obvious buy on the way back, when the car has more time and the boot is emptier.

Tea after the ghat
Sullia comes at the foot of the ghat, where the forest gives way to areca and rubber estates on both sides. A ten minute halt for tea and the restroom refreshes everyone after the bends. The Sampaje stretch above was cut by landslides in August 2018, so in heavy monsoon we check it before you set out. From Sullia, Uppinangady is 45 km on and Venur about 90 km. Fish fry and tender coconut are sold along the main road for anyone peckish.

Sangam stop
Two rivers meet at Uppinangady, the Kumaradhara flowing into the Netravati, and the old Sahasralingeshwara shrine sits right at that junction; countless lingas in the riverbed gave it the name. During heavy rain the waters rise to the temple steps. A quarter hour lets you peep in and drink a tea by the bridge. Here the Venur road branches away from NH75, and the remaining distance is about 45 km. Neer dosa and goli baje are on most counters if you want a snack.

Drop at the statue ground
Venur is a small village in Belthangady taluk on the river, and the car parks on the open ground near the statue compound, so the walk is short. Shoes come off inside the compound. For a meal, coastal dishes such as neer dosa, kori rotti, patrode and goli baje are the local food. Moodabidri, about 20 km away, has more hotels, and Mangalore is about 50 km for the night or onward travel.
Want a Mysore to Venur cab that stops only where you want, to see the Bahubali statue by the river? Venur is roughly 260 km away, via Hunsur, Madikeri and Sullia. A Mysore to Venur taxi from cab rental in Mysore takes one phone call to book. The car to Venur picks you up at the suburban bus stand or a Nazarbad hotel.

Venur is around 260 km from Mysore, about 520 km for the return drive. A car goes through Hunsur, Kushalnagar and Madikeri, comes down the ghat to Sullia, and leaves NH75 at Uppinangady for the Bahubali village. Cab driving time is near 5.5 to 6 hours with short halts.
They are extra. Toll and parking receipts are added at actual, and GST goes on the final bill.
Yes, that works. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
A late night return adds the driver night allowance. It is shown in the quote. On our Mysore card that is ₹400 a night.
An Innova Crysta. See each car on cab rental in Mysore. For Venur, six people and bags fit.
Yes. Local km at the destination go on at the same rate, and our driver waits at each stop.
Sometimes. From June to September the Kumaradhara and Netravati rise fast, and in heavy rain they meet right in front of the Uppinangady temple. The roads usually stay open, but the Sampaje ghat above can be slow after slips. We check conditions the day before monsoon trips. October to March is the dry, easy season.
It can be done, but it is a long day of about 520 km, and the return over the Coorg ghat after dark is slow, with lorries and animals on the road. Most families stay a night in Moodabidri or Mangalore and drive back after breakfast, reaching Mysore by mid afternoon.
