Group pickup
For a long trip like Yana the mini bus starts at 5:00 am from one gathering point, a community hall, a school gate or a hotel near the palace. On Tuesdays the zoo and Karanji lake are shut, which does not matter on the way out but is worth knowing if the group plans Mysore sights on the return. The driver takes the Hunsur road and the SH57 turn at Bilikere; KR Nagar is about 40 km out. Load big bags at the back.

Tea halt
KR Nagar, about 40 km out, is the first stop for twenty people, fifteen minutes for tea and the restroom. Parking is not allowed at the little garden in front of the railway station, so the mini bus waits on the main road. Lakshmana Tirtha temple sits among paddy fields about 5 km out on the Mysore road, and Ramanahalli lies by the KRS backwaters about 4 km away, both for a shorter trip. Hassan is about 80 km ahead.

Breakfast
Hassan, near the 120 km mark, is where twenty hungry people get breakfast; one phone call from the driver and the hotel has tables and plates waiting. Order Malnad filter coffee with it. The Mosale twin temples, from about 1200 AD, and the Hoysala Mahotsava held every March at Belur and Halebidu are reasons to come back to this district another time. Keep half an hour. Kadur is next, about 80 km on.

Restroom halt
The mini bus pauses ten minutes in Kadur, some 200 km from Mysore, for washrooms. Stalls around the state bus stand pour tea fast enough for twenty. Farms here grow areca nut and coconut rather than coffee. If a member needs to fly out, Shivamogga airport is about 76 km from this town. Our road continues through Bhadravathi, and the Shivamogga lunch is about 75 km away, a little over an hour and a half for a loaded mini bus.

Lunch
Lunch falls in Shivamogga (Shimoga), close to the 275 km mark. One big table or a small hall takes all twenty of the group, and forty minutes includes the count. Pilgrims in the group may ask about Kodachadri, roughly 78 km from the city, or Kollur Mookambika, about 130 km; those are journeys for another season. Diesel goes in before the forest stretch. Sagar is about 75 km on, and Sirsi, tonight's stop, about 150 km.

Tea halt
The day's final tea break comes at Sagar, around 350 km out, with the mini bus parked on the main road. Hungry members can try Malnad snacks such as akki rotti or kadubu. Trekkers in the group may know Dabbe falls near Hosagadde, but reaching it means 6 to 8 km on foot through forest, so it stays off this plan. Sirsi lies about 75 km north, and with a steady pace the group checks in before dark.

Night halt
The group stays in Sirsi, about 425 km from Mysore. Our mini bus drivers know the lodges where a group vehicle can park. The town is at about 611 m with a mean temperature near 24.4 C, so nights are mild. Around Sirsi are many falls, Shivaganga, Benne Hole, Sathodi and Burude among them, but the group's day is Yana. Next morning it is about 60 km to the Yana parking.

Yana parking
The mini bus reaches the Yana parking in the morning, after about 11.5 to 12 hours of driving in all from Mysore. The last road from Kathagala is narrow and muddy in places, so the driver goes slowly. For twenty people, fix one meeting time at the mini bus before the walk. The path from the parking is short, about half a km on the main route. One state bus runs to Yana from Kumta, so there is little other traffic.
Taking 20 friends on a Mysore to Yana Rocks mini bus for a weekend in the Sirsi forests? It handles the narrow forest roads better than a big bus. Book mini bus on rent in Mysore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

It is about 485 km from Mysore to Yana one way, about 970 km both ways. The mini bus goes by KR Nagar, Hassan, Kadur, Shivamogga, Sagar and Sirsi, then down the Kumta road to Kathagala. It needs about 11.5 to 12 hours of driving with halts, so the group sleeps in Sirsi and sees Yana in the morning.

It is short but rocky. Good shoes are enough for most people.
It can be done. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
No, they are separate. Toll and parking receipts are added at actual, and GST goes on the final bill.
A late night return adds the driver night allowance. It is shown in the quote. Per night it is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
October to February. The forest path is dry and the ghat roads around Sirsi are safe. June to September is very wet, and the walk turns slippery. At Maha Shivaratri the temple holds a ten day festival, so the path and parking are crowded; plan around it unless the group is going for the festival.
We do not plan it. The roads after Sagar run through forest and ghat bends, and the mud road to the Yana parking is not lit. Leaving Mysore at 5 am gets the group to Sirsi by evening, and Yana is a short morning drive. On the return, start from Yana by noon.
