Pickup at your door
Dindigul is a six and a half hour drive, and many families use it as the gateway to Palani or Kodaikanal, so the car collects you at 5:30 am. At that hour Silk Board is empty and the Electronic City flyover takes you out of the city in minutes. Keep warm clothes handy if a hill trip follows, and put the suitcases in the boot. Breakfast is at Krishnagiri and lunch at Karur, so the day is split into easy legs of about two hours each.

Drive through
Hosur is a quick pass for the car. The driver shows the Tamil Nadu permit at the border check and you carry on without leaving your seat. Hosur is one of the industrial towns of the state, and NH44 runs straight through it on its long way south to Kanyakumari, the same highway that will carry you to Dindigul. At dawn the town is still cool, as it sits at about 880 m. Krishnagiri and breakfast are about fifty km on.

Breakfast
Twenty minutes at Krishnagiri covers breakfast for a family of four, idli and vada with strong coffee at a highway hotel. The car stays on NH44 south; the Vellore road branches off to the east here. Krishnagiri's district is famous for mangoes, and in summer the road is lined with stalls selling them. After this comes a long run of over 100 km to Salem, including the short Thoppur ghat, which the driver takes slowly.

Tea
Salem is a twenty minute tea and restroom halt at a hotel on the city edge. Before you reach it, the road drops through the Thoppur ghat, a steep piece of NH44 known for accidents, so the driver goes gently there. Salem is where the road to Coimbatore and Kerala splits away; the car keeps to NH44 towards Madurai. The city's famous snack is the thattu vadai set, and Salem silk is sold all over town if you want a gift.

Optional darshan
Namakkal is a twenty minute optional halt. If the family wants darshan, the Anjaneyar here is about 18 ft tall and stands in the open, a short walk from where the car parks. The Narasimhaswamy temple is in the same street. Namakkal is known as the Egg City and as a big lorry town. If you skip it, the car carries on to Karur, about 34 km south across the Kaveri, for lunch.

Lunch
Karur is the lunch stop, forty minutes at a meals hotel near the highway. The town sits on the Amaravathi river close to where it meets the Kaveri. Karur builds bus bodies on a large scale and has many spinning mills and dyeing units, so home textiles are a good buy at mill outlets. The main temple in town is the Pasupatheeswarar shrine of Shiva. From Karur, Dindigul is about 70 km south on NH44, a little over an hour.

Town drop
About six and a half hours of driving after leaving home, the car drops you at your hotel or the family home in Dindigul. The town is famous for its biryani, known all over Tamil Nadu, and for everyday meals of rice with sambar and rasam. Dindigul locks are sold across India and carry a GI tag. Chinnalapatti, about 11 km away, weaves silk sarees. Madurai is about 66 km further on NH44.
Need a Bangalore to Dindigul cab for family or business, or as the way into Palani and Kodaikanal, up to seven people? The car covers the 370 km in about six and a half hours of driving. Book cab rental in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

Dindigul lies about 370 km south of Bangalore, and the car stays on NH44 the whole way, through Hosur, Krishnagiri, Salem, Namakkal and Karur. Going and coming adds up to roughly 740 km. Plan on about six and a half hours of driving each way, plus breakfast and lunch.

The Innova Crysta. It is comfortable on the hill road. All cars are on cab rental in Bangalore.
Yes. Plan 4 days. Km above 900 are added at the same rate.
Yes, at actual, together with tolls, parking and GST.
November to February is the most comfortable. Summer in Dindigul runs from March to July and gets hot, and most rain falls in the northeast monsoon from October to December, about 812 mm a year. In January and February the Kottai Mariamman festival brings crowds to the town, so book hotels early then.
It is possible, since NH44 is four lane from Dindigul to Bangalore. A night run takes about six and a half hours and gets you home around daybreak. Our driver sleeps in the afternoon before such a trip. He crosses the Thoppur slope slowly after dark and pulls in for coffee at Salem. Setting off soon after an early dinner works best.
