One boarding point
Wheels roll at 4:30 am. Choose a single spot in Mysuru where a 45 seater can stand and turn, a school playground or a kalyana mantapa yard works well. Suitcases travel underneath; keep one small bag for the Sirsi night handy on top of the pile. Hand one member the passenger list for roll calls. During Dasara, September or October, the police have barred private coaches from central Mysore on festival evenings, so we meet on the edge of the city. KR Nagar is about 40 km out.

Tea halt
Forty km after boarding, the coach pulls over in KR Nagar for tea, fifteen minutes and no more. Our halt is on the through road, numbered NH373 though locals still say SH57. Fast state buses from Mysore and from Hassan each take about 90 minutes to reach this town, so the road sees regular traffic. KR Nagar is a quiet place on the Kaveri, with the most rain in October. Hassan and breakfast are about 80 km on.

Breakfast
Breakfast for fifty happens at Hassan, some 120 km along. We book a highway place with space for the coach, and the party eats in two sittings; idli, vada and coffee come out quickest. Give it forty minutes including the roll call. Belur is roughly 38 km away, around three quarters of an hour by road, and deserves a separate visit. Estates across this district grow coffee, pepper and cardamom, and the town shops stock all three. Next comes Kadur, about 80 km north.

Tea halt
Two hundred km from Mysore the coach makes its Kadur tea stop, a quarter of an hour on the NH69 shoulder where a long vehicle fits. Around the town the land is open and fairly dry, getting far less rain than the hills to the west, and coconut groves fill the view. Travellers by train know the place for its junction station near Birur. Arsikere is roughly 38 km behind on the other highway. Bhadravathi and then the Shivamogga lunch, about 75 km off, are next.

Lunch for fifty
At about 275 km the coach reaches Shivamogga (Shimoga) around lunchtime. We use a restaurant with a dining hall and open ground for the bus, and forty five minutes is enough for fifty plates and a count. People often ask about Sakrebailu, the elephant camp beside the Gajanur dam roughly 14 km from town; its bathing hour is in the morning, so it suits only the return day. The diesel tank is topped up here before Sagar, about 75 km on.

Tea halt
Twenty minutes at Sagar, around 350 km from home, covers tea and washrooms for the whole coach. We halt on the highway rather than in town. Areca rules the economy here, and its market yard is one of the largest for the nut in the state. Pilgrims sometimes ask about Sigandur; the Chowdeshwari shrine sits on the far side of the Sharavathi backwaters and needs its own day. North of Sagar the road to Sirsi, about 75 km, gets narrower in stretches.

Night halt
Night one is in Sirsi, roughly 425 km out. Coaches usually stand on an open plot close to the lodges. This is forest country with around 2,635 mm of yearly rain, the bulk in the four monsoon months, and all three ghat approaches get greasy then. Anyone who has to fly out can reach Hubli airport in about two and a half hours. Next morning the bus goes to Kathagala on the Kumta road for Yana.

Yana road
Yana is reached in the morning, after about twelve hours of driving in all from Mysore. The last stretch from Kathagala is a narrow mud road through forest, and a full size bus may not reach the parking; we check on booking how close it can go, and a smaller vehicle or a walk covers the rest. From the parking the path to the rocks is short. Carry water for fifty; shops are few.

From Mysore, Yana is roughly 485 km away, almost 970 km for the return run. Our coach travels SH57 to Hassan, crosses Kadur to Shivamogga, continues through Sagar and Sirsi, and turns off the Kumta highway at Kathagala. A loaded bus needs about twelve hours of driving with meal halts, so the group sleeps in Sirsi and reaches the rocks the next morning.
The 49 seater, so a few seats stay free for bags. Each size and rate is on bus on rent in Mysore.
It can be done. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
Only if the driver drives late at night; then a night allowance is added. It is shown in the quote. Per night it is ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size.
The last forest road is narrow. We check before the trip; if needed the group walks a short extra bit.
No. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
Not always. The highway to Sirsi and the Kumta road are fine for a coach, but the last stretch from Kathagala is a narrow mud road through forest. On booking we check how close a full size bus can park; if it cannot go in, the group walks the last part or a smaller vehicle shuttles. In the monsoon this stretch gets soft.
Breakfast at Hassan, lunch at Shivamogga and dinner at the Sirsi lodge are fixed, and the driver calls ahead so the food is ready. Near Yana there are very few shops, so buy water, fruit and snacks in Sirsi the evening before. Each person carries their own bottle on the forest walk.
