Pickup in Mysore
Pickup is from the railway station or an office gate, and the mini bus leaves by half past five. From the west and south of the city, the outer ring road, about 41.5 km round, takes the bus to the expressway without entering the centre. Diesel is filled before the pickup. Twenty people with their bags fit easily. Plan on about seven hours to Yelagiri with halts. Keep one seat for the cool box.
Breakfast
At Mandya the mini bus leaves the expressway for breakfast at a hotel with a yard. Blocks of local jaggery make a cheap, useful gift for the group to carry. Mandya's old sugar mill, started in 1933, has worked again after a long closure. October is the wettest month here, so service roads can be muddy late in the year. Thirty minutes, and the coordinator counts heads. Restrooms at the hotel are clean.
Permit and tea
Across the state line, the mini bus waits near Hosur while the road tax is paid, and the group takes tea in the yard of a highway hotel. Three national highways meet at Hosur, so heavy lorries are everywhere and members should keep close to the bus. The British once called nearby Thally Little England for its cool air. A quarter of an hour, then NH44 again. Fresh vegetables are sold by the road.
Tea halt
Krishnagiri brings a short tea halt at a highway side hotel, then the mini bus swings off NH44 onto NH48. The town hosts a mango show every year, and in the fruit months a crate can ride in the back for the resort kitchen. Fifteen minutes and a quick count, and then the last 70 km or so to Yelagiri, half of it on the plain and half on the hill.
Tea for the group
Bargur is the last tea stop on the plain. Pick a hotel with a yard so twenty people step down away from the traffic; enormous granite boulders rise all around this stretch of NH48. Fifteen minutes. The turn for the hills is about 35 km on, and the Yelagiri plateau lies roughly 20 km from Vaniyambadi, the town just beyond that turn. The coordinator can use the halt to collect the resort room list from everyone.
Ghat foot halt
At the bottom of the ghat near Ponneri, the group stops ten minutes for tea and fruit. Fourteen hairpins climb from here to about 1,410 m. A mini bus manages them well but slowly, so those who get travel sick should move to the front seats now. The water cans stay in the back, and everyone keeps their seat on the bends. Phones and cameras can be packed away until the top.
Arrival
After about seven hours with stops, the mini bus reaches Yelagiri, a plateau of the Eastern Ghats at roughly 1,410 m. Groups usually stay at resorts on the top; the bus drops everyone and parks there. Meals are simple South Indian food, so give the kitchen the head count early. The plateau's summer festival in May fills every resort, so book well ahead for that month. Torches help on the dark resort paths at night.

Yelagiri is about 305 km from Mysore, so about 610 km there and back. The mini bus runs on the expressway past Mandya, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri, NH48 past Bargur, then the hairpin road from Ponneri. With twenty people, plan on about seven hours by mini bus.
Yelagiri in the 25 seater: seats for all, room for bags. Sizes are on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes. The ghat has 14 hairpin bends and buses use it, slowly. The driver takes it in daylight.
They are extra: GST, tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit and parking go on the bill at cost.
Yes, that works. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
Yes. A drive beyond 10 pm adds the driver's night bata, shown in the quote before booking. It is ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night for the mini bus.
October to February, when the hill is green and cool. The summer festival in May is lively but crowded, and resorts fill early. In the monsoon the hairpin road needs care, and the mini bus climbs only in daylight, with a slow, steady driver.
Sweaters for the evening, caps, water bottles, torches and travel sickness tablets for the bends. Shops on the hill are limited, so carry snacks. If the group plans a trek or adventure activity, wear proper shoes and carry a small first aid kit.
