Bus tips for Coorg
Many Coorg homestays sit on narrow estate roads. A 40 or 50 seater stops on the main road and the homestay usually sends a jeep, or the group walks a short distance. If your stay is deep inside an estate, a 20–25 seater mini bus gets much closer. Mandalpatti viewpoint is reached only by local jeep.
Which bus suits your group
For 18 to 25 people, the mini bus is the cheapest way to travel together. Office teams and large families of 30 to 35 usually take the 32–35 seater. For school trips, associations and wedding parties of 40 to 50, a single 40 or 50 seater keeps everyone together and works out cheaper per head than two smaller vehicles.
Per person, a full 50 seater to Coorg costs about ₹668 for the 2-day trip, against about ₹819 each in a full mini bus. For groups under 17, a tempo traveller is usually the better choice.
What the fare includes
Every fare on this page is for the whole bus, not per seat. It includes the AC bus, an experienced driver, diesel and the driver's daily allowance (bata), which also covers his food and night stay. You never pay for the driver's room separately.
| Included | Paid at actuals |
|---|---|
| Bus, diesel and driver | Toll charges |
| Driver bata for every day | Parking fees |
| Pickup and drop at your address in Bangalore | State permits outside Karnataka |
| Help on WhatsApp through the trip | Entry tickets, guides and jeeps |
Outstation fares are worked out the same way as the price on our search: kilometres × the rate per km, plus bata per day. We bill a minimum of 250 km a day, so a short trip spread over several days costs at least that much per day.
