Chikmagalur Tour Packages from Mysore
Mysore is a convenient gateway to Chikmagalur — roughly 170 km via Hassan or Kadur routes, about three and a half to four hours by car. Mysore families and weekend travellers often skip Bangalore traffic and reach Mullayanagiri the same morning with an early start.
Route and drive tips from Mysore
Common routes pass Hassan or Channarayapatna depending on road work — NH serviceable year-round, ghats after Hassan need cautious night driving. Fuel and breakfast stops at Hassan town. Self-drive groups can book only local day packages once in Chikmagalur.
Recommended packages from Mysore

Mysore vs Bangalore travellers
Shorter distance than Bangalore means less fatigue — ideal for families with children and senior parents. Combine with Belur heritage tour package if you want Hoysala temples on the outbound or return leg via Hassan.
