The reason why many visitors hire a car plus driver is because driving in India requires familiarity with local driving customs, not to say skill and daring. Although traffic goes on the left, British visitors are unaccustomed to animals wandering on the streets, not to mention speeding trucks and overloaded buses. Visitors should have insurance and an international driving licence to drive in India but the licence requirement is often waived if you have your licence from home.
KSTDC operate a selection of guided bus tours from a twice-daily city tour to ‘outstation tours' to Mysore and to Belur/Halebid. These involve spending up to eight hours in the bus.
