Pickup in Mysore
A full bus boards at one point at five. When the palace hosts an event, Doddakere Maidan becomes a parking ground and the police route people to the palace through the underpass, so a palace side pickup is best avoided then. Luggage rides in the hold. Diesel is filled before the pickup. With halts, the coach takes about seven and a half hours to reach Yelagiri. The coordinator keeps the passenger list ready for a roll call.

Tea for the coach
At Mandya the coach uses the expressway exit and stops twenty minutes for tea and toilets at a service road hotel with a bay for buses. In past years farmers protesting over cane prices and Kaveri water have blocked the highway here, so the coordinator checks the news on any bandh day. Cane juice is pressed fresh at the stalls. A roll call, and the coach moves on. Elders get down first at the halt.

Permit and breakfast
At the state border near Hosur the coach stops for its Tamil Nadu permit and road tax; buses on an All India permit may have interim relief from that tax. Breakfast for the group is booked at a highway hotel with coach parking. Should anyone have to turn back, Hosur has frequent trains and state buses. Forty minutes, then NH44 south east to Krishnagiri. Elders should sit near the front for the rest of the run.

Short halt
The coach takes tea at a Krishnagiri hotel on the highway side and then joins NH48. March to June is the hot season on this stretch, so every bottle is refilled. Rayakottai, an old hill fort roughly 32 km west of town, makes a fine heritage outing on some other trip. Fifteen minutes, a roll call, and the bus heads east for the Yelagiri turn. The driver also checks the brakes and tyres before the hill road.

No coach halt
Through Bargur the coach normally keeps rolling. Giant granite boulders crowd the roadside along this part of NH48, and there are snack stalls and diesel pumps if the group needs them. The hill road turns off about 35 km ahead, so the driver prepares for the climb and asks everyone to finish their snacks before the bends begin. If a halt is needed, it is kept short and the coach uses a hotel yard, not the highway edge.

Before the climb
Before the climb, at the foot of the ghat near Ponneri, the coach stops ten minutes for a restroom break. The road above has 14 hairpins rising to about 1,410 m, and a full bus takes them slowly in low gear. The driver waits only in proper bays, never on the narrow shoulder, and everyone stays in their seats until the top. The coordinator counts heads before the bus starts the climb.

Arrival
After about seven and a half hours, halts included, the coach reaches the plateau at roughly 1,410 m and parks at the resort or the coach parking. Yelagiri promotes paragliding and rock climbing, suitable for a young group under supervision. May brings the summer festival and big crowds. For anyone leaving by rail, Jolarpettai station is about 19 km away. Give the resort the dinner count on arrival, and fix a time for the next morning's start.

Yes. The road has 14 hairpin bends and a coach climbs slowly in low gear. In heavy rain the driver waits for the road to clear, and the climb is done only in daylight. On the top, the bus uses the coach parking and the group walks to the sights.
Breakfast near Hosur is booked ahead, and lunch is at the resort on arrival. Give the resort the head count a day before. Carry biscuits, fruit and water on the bus, since the hill has few shops, and keep one person in charge of the food list.
