Coach pickup
A full coach is best loaded at a school or college ground on the Varuna side of the city, clear of the old centre. The route then follows the T Narasipura road to Kollegal, crosses MM Hills into Tamil Nadu and climbs from Salem, about 255 km. Plan on about seven hours with halts. Ahead of any trip into Tamil Nadu we watch the news for bandh calls over the Kaveri water sharing dispute, which can flare up in Mysore.

Breakfast and diesel
The bus fills diesel and the group eats at Kollegal, an hour and a half out. Forty minutes is right for fifty if the order goes in from the road. Kollegal sits at about 590 to 660 m, and the heat builds by late morning, so a prompt start from here helps. The town is known for silk. From Kollegal the coach takes SH 79 towards Hanur and the hills. Ring the Mettur hotel with the head count for lunch.

Last halt in Karnataka
Twenty minutes at Hanur lets fifty people use the restrooms and refill water before the long forest run. Chamarajanagar district has an order restricting heavy vehicles with more than six wheels on the road over MM Hills into Tamil Nadu, with a night closure from nine in the evening to six in the morning. We check what it means for your coach at booking and always plan this part for daylight. Group leaders count heads before the bus moves.

Temple halt
At MM Hills, about 140 km from Mysore, the bus can halt for darshan. Forty five minutes is a minimum for fifty pilgrims on a quiet day. The temple serves free prasada meals to devotees, and the bus uses the devasthana bus parking. The forest around is a sanctuary of about 906 sq km, with elephants, so the coach does not stop on the ghat. Palar on the border is next.

Lunch for the coach
For the coach, lunch is in Mettur, with a full hour so fifty people can eat in two sittings. The dam that made this town was raised between 1925 and 1934 and is still the largest in Tamil Nadu. Around May a week long Mariamman festival fills the streets, and parking a coach gets harder then. Salem is about 50 km away on a good road. Ask everyone to board ten minutes before the set time.

Tea in Salem
The coach stops in Salem for tea before the hill. Being on the national highway network, the bus can reach the foot of the ghat without city lanes. The stainless steel works of SAIL, opened in 1981, mark the edge of town. From the bus terminus the Yercaud road climbs about 30 km with many bends, so leaders should warn anyone who gets travel sick and seat them near the front.

Coach drop
Seven hours or so after pickup, the coach reaches Yercaud and lets the group down at the hotel, then moves to a spot where buses may park. The town is around 1,515 m high, so even in May it stays pleasant, while the wettest months run from August to October. Estates around grow coffee, oranges and black pepper. Fix a single meeting place and time for the evening, and keep a head count at dinner.

Yercaud is about 255 km from Mysore, so the bus covers about 510 km for the round trip. The coach goes through Kollegal, Hanur and MM Hills, crosses to Mettur and Salem, and climbs the ghat. A full bus needs about seven hours with halts.
The 45 seater, or the 49 or 50 seater if there is a lot of luggage. The full size list is on bus on rent in Mysore.
If the Yercaud bus drives later than 10 pm, a driver night bata is charged. The bus rental page and your quote both show the amount. ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night is the bus rate.
No. Tolls, parking, the Tamil Nadu permit and GST are paid at actual and shown on the bill.
Yes. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
Leave by 5:00 am. With the halts on this page you reach Yercaud in around 7 hours. A bus loses time in city traffic, so early is better.
The dry months, from October to May, are easiest; the hill is mild even in summer. August to October brings the heaviest rain and mist on the Salem ghat, which slows a coach. MM Hills festival days make the forest road very busy. In every season the bus crosses the forest near the border in daylight.
Seat them near the front, where the ride is smoothest, and plan the halts we list: Kollegal, Hanur, MM Hills, Mettur and Salem. Each halt has restrooms. Keep their medicines in a hand bag, and carry folding stools for the temple queue. At Yercaud, ask the hotel for ground floor rooms.
