One pickup
Our mini bus sets out at 6 am. For a party of fifteen to twenty five heading to a function or a temple in Karur, agree on a single assembly point the night before; picking up from four apartments across the city easily costs an hour. A mini bus is too tall for basements, so wait on the street with your bags. Stack function items and gift boxes in the back rows, and give one person the list of names and phone numbers for every roll call.

Group breakfast
Breakfast is thirty minutes at Krishnagiri, in a hotel big enough to seat twenty together, with the mini bus parked in front. The driver cleared the state road tax at the Hosur crossing earlier, so this is the first time the group steps out. If any Jain pilgrims are on board, the Shree Parshwa Padmavathi Shaktipeet stands right on the highway near the town. Watch for lane closures around Krishnagiri, as the highway is being rebuilt with six lanes.

Tea
A fifteen minute tea and washroom stop at Dharmapuri sets the group up for the Thoppur ghat just beyond it. On that steep, accident prone descent the mini bus drops to a low gear, and everyone should stay in their seats with bags on the floor. Dharmapuri lies about 64 km short of Salem. In February and March, the hill temple at Theerthamalai near Harur holds a ten day festival, and its weekend crowds slow the roads around the district.

Snack
Salem is a twenty minute snack halt. The driver uses a hotel on the outskirts with a yard big enough for the mini bus, so nobody has to cross the main road. Fresh mango juice in season and Salem's own crunchy thattu vadai are the treats here. Salem is a busy steel and textile city, the largest on this route. After the break the mini bus rejoins NH44 for the hour long run south to Namakkal.

Group lunch
The group stops at Namakkal for lunch, an hour in all. Book the meals hotel in advance so twenty lunches are ready when the van rolls in. The old rock fort, sitting on a single hillock about 75 m high, looms over the town. Namakkal lives by its lorries and its poultry, and the centre is congested, so the mini bus waits on a broad road nearby. From here Karur is about 34 km south across the Kaveri.

Group drop
About six hours after the start, the mini bus reaches Karur and drops the group at the hall or hotel, then parks close by. The town grew up where the Amaravathi, the Kaveri and the Noyyal rivers meet. Its mills spin, weave and dye cloth, and its workshops build coach bodies for buses all over India. The main bus stand is in the middle of town, a good landmark for anyone joining later. Rain is light here, about 600 mm a year.
Is a wedding party or a temple group of 14 to 25 going to Karur? On a Bangalore to Karur mini bus everyone sits together for the 280 km and the bags ride along. We have run mini bus on rent in Bangalore since 2009.

Karur lies about 280 km from Bangalore by NH44, through Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri, Salem and Namakkal, so a return trip is about 560 km. A mini bus with a group takes about six hours each way, counting breakfast, a tea halt, a snack stop and lunch.
A 20 seater mini bus: 600 km over 2 days at ₹34/km, so ₹20,400. ₹1,400 allowance extra; GST, permits and tolls at actual.
Yes. A drop is ₹2 a km above the round trip rate; the empty return is counted in the quote we send.
The 20 or 21 seater. Compare them on mini bus on rent in Bangalore.
Yes. Namakkal is on the road, about 45 km before Karur. Darshan takes around 45 minutes for a group.
In the town parking, a few minutes on foot. Keep one meeting point for the group.
November to February suits a group best. April to June brings strong heat, and twenty people standing outside a hall in the afternoon tire fast. Karur is one of the drier towns of the state, with only short showers, mostly in October and November, so rain seldom upsets plans.
Yes, with the halts at Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri, Salem and Namakkal, roughly every hour and a half. Seat elders near the front and the door. Keep their medicines and water in hand bags. If the function ends late, a night in Karur and a morning return is easier for them.
