Group boarding
The mini bus boards the group at 6:30 am at one meeting point, with the coordinator holding the list. Vythiri is about three and a half hours away with halts. Visitors from other states sometimes like to see the Mysore silk weaving at the KSIC factory on Manandavadi Road, best kept for a free day, as it is not on this road. The bus takes the Nanjangud road south. Big bags go in the rear, water under the seats.

Darshan stop
Nanjangud is the darshan stop for groups who want it. The Srikanteshwara temple is among the biggest in Karnataka, and a smaller Parashurama shrine stands nearby where the Kapila and Kaundinya rivers meet. The mini bus waits on the temple road, and twenty people need about thirty minutes inside. Morning darshan runs until about 1 pm, after which the doors shut until the afternoon. Modest clothes, please. From here the bus heads for Gundlupet and the forest.

Tea and head count
At Gundlupet the mini bus stops fifteen minutes for tea and the restrooms, and the coordinator counts heads before the forest. Gundlupet has only small eateries, so the group eats breakfast across the border in Bathery. In the Onam weeks, vineyards near the town draw visitors, a stop some groups add on the way back. The driver fills diesel, because the road ahead has about 25 km of forest with no halts.

Forest crossing
Muthanga, about 100 km out, is part of the southern half of the Wayanad sanctuary. Tiger, leopard, sloth bear and dhole live in these woods, though from a bus most groups see deer, gaur and elephants. The bus does not stop. For a group of twenty, a safari means three jeeps, booked at the counter on the day; the slots are early morning and late afternoon. The highway closes at night.

Group breakfast
Sulthan Bathery, 115 km from Mysore, is where the group has breakfast, at a hotel that can serve twenty quickly. Puttu, appam and tea take about thirty five minutes. The Krishnagiri cricket ground, set at about 2,100 ft, is near the town, and the Thovarimala rock inscriptions are close too, both good for a free afternoon. Pepper and cardamom are the market buys. The bus then crosses coffee country to Kalpetta.

Kalpetta
The mini bus rolls through Kalpetta, Wayanad's administrative town and a municipality since 1990, without a halt unless the group needs a chemist or a cash machine. Soochipara falls lie about 24 km away beyond Meppadi and make a good half day for the group on another date. Old signboards may still show the highway as NH 212, its earlier number before it became NH 766. Vythiri is roughly 15 km ahead on a gentle road through tea and coffee.

One resort for all
The mini bus reaches Vythiri about three and a half hours after leaving Mysore. Many resorts here sit on narrow forest roads that a mini bus cannot climb, so the group may be dropped at the gate on the highway, with the resort's own vehicle for the bags. Check access when booking. Vythiri is about 700 m up and very wet in the monsoon, so carry rain jackets from June to September.
Need a Mysore to Vythiri mini bus for 15 to 25 people for a Wayanad stay in the hills? Vythiri is roughly 155 km from Mysuru via Gundlupet, Sulthan Bathery and Kalpetta. One mini bus, one driver who knows the halts. We have operated mini bus on rent in Mysore since 2009. For Vythiri we pick up from Mysore airport at Mandakalli or your office in Hebbal.

The mini bus covers about 155 km from Mysore to Vythiri, roughly 310 km if the group returns the same way. Its road is NH766: Nanjangud, Gundlupet, the Muthanga forest, Sulthan Bathery and Kalpetta. Allow about three and a half hours including a breakfast halt for the group.
Yes, from 9 pm to 6 am on this highway. We cross in the day both ways.
The 25 seater, so everyone sits and the bags fit. The full size list is on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, quoted when you ask. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
No. The Kerala entry permit for a tourist vehicle is extra too. Tolls, parking and GST are added at cost, receipts shown.
The driver gets a night allowance when the drive goes late into the night. The quote lists it. Our card says ₹600 to ₹700, by size per night.
Plan between October and May for dry days outdoors, with Muthanga safaris best from December. The monsoon months, June to September, are among the wettest anywhere in Kerala; Vythiri sees about 3,840 mm of rain a year, so some activities pause, though many groups still come for the green hills.
Not through the forest. Traffic is held at the Muthanga and Bandipur gates from 9 pm to 6 am, so the mini bus has to leave Vythiri by late afternoon. Groups wanting a late dinner should stay another night and start after breakfast.
