Pickup at home
Your Urbania rolls up at 5 am, and with a fair run the group sits down to dinner in Kottayam that evening. North and east side members need not cross town: the Satellite Town Ring Road through Hoskote links them to the south. Southern pickups ride the tolled flyover above Hosur Road from Silk Board, leaving by its straight ahead exit. Roughly 32 km out comes the Attibele toll at the state line. Every passenger has a reclining seat and an individual AC vent, which matters on a twelve hour day.
Coffee
The first coffee break is at Krishnagiri, two hours and around 90 km down the road, with the van parked by the door so older travellers barely walk. Buses use a stand in the north west corner of town, so the highway hotels stay calm. A devout group may want Ramapuram's Rama temple, roughly five centuries old, on the drive home. Bottled pulp and juice from the local Totapuri and Alphonso crops sit on every counter. Breakfast is planned an hour and a half on, at Salem.
Breakfast
By 205 km the group is ready for breakfast, and the Urbania pulls into a Salem bypass hotel close to where the Kochi highway, NH544, branches west. Older members usually prefer idli, dosa or pongal. Non vegetarians might bookmark Salem's biryani and chicken varuval for a lunch on the return. The great Mettur dam on the Kaveri lies about 52 km away, a whole outing of its own. After thirty minutes the van turns west for the long, level run to Coimbatore.
Drive on
Cotton country surrounds Avinashi, which the Urbania passes at 320 km on a bypass linking Tiruppur with Coimbatore. Spinning and weaving mills dot the fields, and trucks loaded with yarn share the lanes, so the driver keeps an even speed rather than overtaking. Any member who must join late has two options close by: the railway at Tiruppur, about 12 km away, or Coimbatore's airport, around 32 km. Lunch is roughly an hour further on.
Lunch
The group lunches for 45 minutes at 370 km in a hotel just off the Coimbatore ring road. Choose idli and dosa for a light meal or a full banana leaf thali. Car lovers can note that the GD museums in the city open 9 am to 6:30 pm and close on Mondays, a possible stop on the way home. The 28 km ring road spares the van every signal in town, and the Kerala border lies about thirty minutes beyond.
Drive through
Kerala begins at Walayar, roughly 43 km from Coimbatore airport, and the driver sorts the entry papers while everyone stays in the cool. Palakkad follows near 415 km. Nature lovers might plan a future visit to Silent Valley, a national park in this district that forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. For anyone leaving by bus, the KSRTC terminal is in Palakkad's centre. Thrissur and the tea stop are about an hour further along NH544.
Tea
At 470 km the group gets fifteen minutes for tea in Thrissur. Elders often enjoy the local habit of crisp parippu vada dipped in kattan chaya, a strong black tea. The city's two great rival temples, Paramekkavu and Thiruvambadi, lead the famous Pooram each year. By now the group has done the 123 to 133 km run from Coimbatore through the border, and most of Kerala's highway miles are behind it. Angamaly, where the route turns, is about 45 km on.
Drive on
The Urbania leaves the national highway at Angamaly, 515 km out, and joins the Main Central Road, which runs south east through Muvattupuzha, roughly 35 km on, and down to Kottayam. Just 7 km away is Cochin International Airport, famous as the first anywhere to run fully on solar power. The MC Road is a two lane state road, slower and busier than NH544, so the van settles into a steady pace. Ask the driver now if anyone needs a washroom.
Drive on
At 550 km the van crosses Muvattupuzha, the town where the MC Road meets the Kochi to Madurai highway. History lovers could return for the Marth Mariam church at Arakuzha, about 5 km away, with over a thousand years of recorded history and old murals and carvings. There is no halt today. Kottayam lies some 45 to 55 km further along the MC Road, a little over an hour, so the group can phone ahead and order dinner.
Door drop
The Urbania pulls up in Kottayam by early evening, roughly twelve hours after leaving Bangalore, and drops everyone at the door. This is the City of Letters, birthplace of the Malayala Manorama, Deepika and Mangalam newspapers, and the headquarters of Kerala's Rubber Board. Dinner should be pidi, small rice dumplings, with chicken in roasted coconut gravy, a Syrian Christian speciality. If the group continues north later, Kochi is about 66 km away.
Booking a Bangalore to Kottayam Force Urbania for elders or a team? Small office teams and family groups with elders like it for runs this long. Kumarakom is just outside the town. A driver comes with our Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.

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 595 km one way through Krishnagiri, Salem, Coimbatore, Palakkad, Thrissur and Angamaly, then the MC Road via Muvattupuzha, so about 1,190 km for the round trip. An Urbania takes about 12 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea, reaching Kottayam by early evening.
Then a night bata goes on for the driver. We show it in your quote, so nothing comes as a surprise.
Yes, there is a luggage space at the back. The town is known for rubber and printing. With big suitcases for 12 or more, take the 16 seater.
Sure. The one way rate is ₹2 per km over the two way rate, and we quote the total on request.
No. Parking, tolls and any permit are billed at actual, plus GST. The km rate covers AC, fuel and the driver.
Go for the 12 seater. Sizes are on Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore. At ₹40/km for every Urbania, 1,200 km over 4 days adds up to ₹48,000,, plus ₹700 each day for the driver.
Often in the afternoons. Central Kerala gets the retreating monsoon in October and November, usually as heavy late day showers, and the MC Road from Angamaly slows in the rain. The Urbania keeps to the plan, but arrival can slip by an hour. Leaving at 5 am helps the group reach Kottayam before the evening showers.
Yes. A 9 pm start reaches Kottayam by morning, with tea halts at Krishnagiri and Salem and the Kerala border at night, and breakfast at Thrissur. The reclining seats help everyone sleep. The driver rests the day before, and the bill adds a night allowance. For elders, the 5 am day plan is usually easier.
