KSRTC has launched a new non-AC sleeper bus service connecting Bengaluru with Dharmasthala and Kukke Subrahmanya via Kodagu and Mysuru. The service is expected to benefit pilgrims, tourists, and regular commuters travelling to coastal Karnataka.

In a major relief for devotees and travellers heading to Karnataka’s popular pilgrimage centres, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has launched a new non-AC sleeper bus service connecting Bengaluru with Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala and Kukke Subrahmanya. The service officially commenced on Wednesday and is expected to benefit pilgrims, tourists, and regular commuters travelling between Bengaluru, Kodagu, and the coastal region.

The newly introduced service will operate via Mysuru and Kodagu, passing through scenic and important locations such as Somwarpet, Shanivarasanthe, and Bisle Ghat. Officials said the route has been designed to improve connectivity for passengers travelling from the Kodagu region to the two major religious destinations.
