Pickup at home
The Urbania picks up the group at 5 am for a two part trip: Alappuzha tonight, Kollam tomorrow morning. Groups near Hoskote can take the new ring road interchange to the Hosur corridor, and groups in JP Nagar or Banashankari can use NICE Road, so nobody crosses the city centre. Tolls on NH44 are revised each April, so the toll line on the bill can change a little. Elders take the front seats, closest to the door.
Coffee
Krishnagiri, 90 km out, is a ten minute coffee halt, with the van parked close to the door so elders walk only a few steps. Rocky hills ring the town, the start of the Krishnadevaraya range. The Government Museum on Gandhi Road, running since 1993, is a short visit for a group on a slow return. Krishnagiri also holds a mango exhibition every year. Breakfast waits at Salem, a little over an hour on.
Breakfast
Breakfast is thirty minutes at a Salem bypass hotel, 205 km out, beside the turn where NH544 leaves NH44 for Kerala. Idli and dosa for the elders; for the meat eaters at lunch on the return, Salem's biryani and chicken varuval are worth remembering. Sankagiri fort, cared for by the Archaeological Survey, is about 22 km away. The van stays on the bypass and turns west, and the plains run flat all the way to Coimbatore.
Drive on
The Urbania glides past Avinashi at 320 km on the bypass that joins Tiruppur to Coimbatore. In the old town stands a Shiva temple whose wooden ratham, the festival chariot, ranks just behind Tiruvarur's as India's second largest; it is a short detour on a relaxed return. Anyone flying in to meet the group can land at Coimbatore, roughly 32 km off. Elders can sleep through this flat stretch, since lunch is still about an hour ahead.
Lunch
At 370 km the group lunches for 45 minutes in a bypass hotel outside Coimbatore, with the Urbania right at the entrance. Banana leaf meals suit the hungry, while idli or appam suit lighter appetites. Two famous shrines, the hilltop Marudamalai Murugan and the ancient Perur Patteeswarar, make a good half day if the group returns slowly. A 28 km ring road keeps the van away from city signals, and the Kerala line is roughly 30 km beyond.
Border
Walayar's border check takes around ten minutes; trucks are routed down a separate lane, so the van reaches the counter quickly, and passengers stay seated with the AC running. Kerala's side of NH544 is four lane with service roads as far as Vadakkencherry. Palakkad follows near 415 km. Families who love gardens should note Malampuzha, Kerala's biggest reservoir, roughly 15 km from the city, for a morning on the way home. Thrissur is an hour ahead.
Tea
Fifteen minutes at Thrissur, 475 km out, for a tea break. Locals pair crunchy parippu vada with kattan chaya, a sharp black tea, and elders usually enjoy the combination. Thrissur hosts Kerala's academies of literature, music and fine arts, which is why it is called the state's cultural capital. Ahead lies the busiest part of the route, south through Chalakudy and Angamaly to Kochi, roughly 70 to 75 km, and then the coast road to tonight's hotel.
Drive through
Evening traffic is thick around Kochi at 545 km, so the Urbania keeps to the bypass and swings onto NH66 for Alappuzha, some 55 to 62 km south. Cochin airport, the world's first to run entirely on solar energy, lies north of the city, convenient for a late joiner. On the way back, Chottanikkara temple, where the goddess appears as three forms across one day, makes a peaceful morning. Tonight's rest is about an hour and a half away.
Night halt
Night one is at Alappuzha, 600 km from Bangalore, and the driver sleeps well before the short final leg. Dinner can be duck curry from Kuttanad or fish cooked sour with kudampuli. Kuttanad, spreading south and east of the town, grows rice on land below sea level, a method the FAO recognises as a world agricultural heritage system. Early risers can visit the Kokkamangalam church, one of seven linked with St Thomas. Kollam is roughly two hours away tomorrow.
Drive on
Morning brings Kayamkulam, 645 km from home, about 45 km below Alappuzha on NH66, and the van rolls on. History buffs might return for Krishnapuram Palace, an 18th century royal house now a museum, where the celebrated two edged sword of Kayamkulam is displayed. The state bus station sits right beside the highway for anyone peeling away early. Kollam lies roughly 40 km ahead, under an hour, so the group arrives with most of the day still free.
Door drop
The Urbania reaches Kollam by about 7:45 am on day two, after about 13.5 hours of driving, and drops at the door. Kollam is a cashew and coir town, and packets of roasted cashews are the gift to carry home. The lake's short neck clams were India's first MSC certified fishery, and clam dishes are on many menus. Thiruvananthapuram is about 71 km south for flights, and Varkala about 30 km for the beach.

Bangalore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

About 685 km one way through Krishnagiri, Salem, Coimbatore, Palakkad, Thrissur, Kochi and Alappuzha, so about 1,370 km there and back. An Urbania takes about 13.5 hours of driving, with a night at Alappuzha. The route is NH44 to Salem, NH544 to Kochi and NH66 to Kollam.
No. The km rate covers fuel, driver and AC. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed at actual, plus GST.
It is. The one way rate is ₹2 a km over the round trip rate, and we quote the total on request.
The 12 seater. Every Urbania is ₹40/km, so 1,500 km over 5 days is ₹60,000, plus ₹700 a day allowance. Sizes are on Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.
Then a night allowance goes on for the driver. We show it in the quote, so nothing comes as a surprise.
Yes, there is a boot space behind the last row. With big suitcases for 12 or more, take the 16 seater. Cashew processing is a big Kollam trade.
Often in the afternoons. Central and south Kerala get the retreating monsoon in October and November, usually as heavy late day showers, and the coast road through Alappuzha and Kayamkulam slows in rain. The Urbania drives the coast road early in the morning on day two, which avoids most of it.
Yes. A 9 pm start reaches Thrissur by early morning, with tea at Krishnagiri and Salem and the border check at night. After breakfast, the van finishes the coast road to Kollam by early afternoon. The reclining seats help everyone sleep, the driver rests the day before, and the bill adds a night allowance.
