Quick answer: A 17 seater tempo traveller in Mysore costs ₹30 per km (AC) or ₹28 per km (non-AC) on outstation trips, with a 250 km daily minimum and ₹700 driver bata per day.

Groups that suit a 17 seater
College and school trips
A single class or club of 15 to 17 students fits in one vehicle with one driver, which keeps the group together and makes headcounts at each stop simple.
Mysore Dasara visitors
Families visiting for Dasara use a 17 seater to see the illuminated palace, the Jamboo Savari route, Chamundi Hills and the Dasara exhibition without parking hassles for several cars. Book 2 weeks ahead for Dasara dates.
Office teams and offsites
Teams heading to resorts at Kabini, Coorg or Bandipur from Mysore can travel together; GST invoices are available for company bookings.
Pilgrimages
Groups visiting Dharmasthala, Kukke Subramanya, Male Mahadeshwara Hills or Nanjangud book a 17 seater for the luggage space and the lower per-head cost.
Practical tips for a 17 seater trip from Mysore
- Keep one big bag per person; the rear luggage space fits about 15 to 17 medium suitcases, and a roof carrier can be arranged for more.
- For Ooty and Wayanad, cross the Bandipur forest stretch between 6 am and 9 pm, when the road is open.
- On Ooty trips, ask for the Gudalur route if anyone in the group gets motion sickness; it is longer but avoids the tight Kalhatti hairpins.
- Hill homestays in Coorg and Chikmagalur often have narrow access roads; share the exact location so the driver can confirm a tempo traveller can reach it.
