Day 1

Start early preferably around 5-6 am from Bangalore to Masinagudi. The distance (242 km) between the two locations can be roughly covered in 5 and a half hours considering 1 pit stop. Mysore Road is a busy road especially around holiday time so plan your start accordingly. There are lots of restaurants on the way once you get on Bangalore - Mysore road, your breakfast stop can be planned for this route. Most of the Cafe Coffee Days (CCD's) en-route have decent eating options & provide clean restrooms as well. You will pass the historical city of Mysore on your way to Masinagudi. You will explore this old heritage filled city on your drive back to Bangalore

The Bangalore - Mysore Road will lead you on to a road drive into Bandipur Wildlife Sactuary before you reach your destination at Masinagudi. Enjoy the forest drive, follow the speed limit and if you are lucky you might spot a few untamed living beings. By all probability you may spot a herd of elephant either in Mudumalai or Bandipur. Please note there is forest entry closing time. Keep this in mind while planning your drive.

Please follow the Jungle's Do's & Dont's.
