Pickup
Our Urbania arrives at 6 am and is loaded at the gate, its roof being too high for a parking basement. Elders bound for Namakkal will enjoy the soft reclining seats, wide windows and a cabin quiet enough to nap in. Tolls are paid electronically by FASTag, so there are no queues at the plazas. Put the puja things and a shawl or two in a small bag by your seat. The first meal of the day is at Krishnagiri, under two hours away.
Drive through
Hosur means only a pause at the Tamil Nadu check post. The driver shows the papers and the plate is read by camera, while the group stays in the AC. Hosur is where NH44, NH648 and NH844 meet, and its roads are full of factory traffic, so the Urbania keeps moving. Beyond the town the farms grow tomatoes, cabbage, onions and mangoes for the city markets. Krishnagiri is roughly fifty km on.
Breakfast
At Krishnagiri the group gets twenty five minutes for breakfast at a single hotel that has room for the van. A shrine to Rama said to be about five centuries old stands in Ramapuram nearby, something to plan for another trip. Each summer the town hosts a mango show, and its pulp factories process Totapuri and Alphonso fruit by the tonne. After eating, the Urbania carries on down NH44 towards Dharmapuri, ignoring the Vellore turn.
Tea
Dharmapuri is a fifteen minute tea halt. For elders, it is wise to use the restroom here, before the Thoppur ghat a little further on, where the road drops steeply and the driver goes slowly. Dharmapuri town is about 57 km from Krishnagiri. Salem's airport is around 45 km away, worth noting if anyone plans to fly back. March to June is hot and dry here, so the AC stays on.
Snack
Salem gets a fifteen minute snack stop at a hotel on the highway edge of the city. Salem is a big textile centre with tens of thousands of handlooms, and Salem silk and Salem fabric both carry GI tags. The street snack here is the thattu vadai set. Mettur and the other sights of Salem district are off our road today; the Urbania keeps to NH44 for the last 35 km to Namakkal.
Temple street drop
In about four and a half hours the Urbania reaches Namakkal and drops the group near the temple street, then parks and waits. The town is a road transport hub, with buses from Trichy and Madurai to Salem and Bangalore passing through, and it is famous as the Egg City. Simple vegetarian meals are served near the temples. Karur is about 34 km further south if anyone has family there.
Elders who want a smooth ride to Namakkal, 8 to 16 people? The Bangalore to Namakkal Force Urbania has big windows and captain or reclining seats, and it handles the Kolli Hills road too. Book Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

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.

Namakkal is about 235 km from Bangalore on NH44, by Hosur, Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri and Salem, which makes about 470 km for the round trip. A Force Urbania takes about four and a half hours each way with breakfast and two short tea halts; the Thoppur ghat is the only slow stretch.
The 12 seater Urbania works out to ₹24,000: 600 km at ₹40/km. The driver allowance is ₹1,400; tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit, parking and GST are billed at actual.
Yes. One way is ₹2 a km more, and the empty return is counted in the quote. You get it in writing first.
The 10 seater keeps a seat free for bags; same rate as the others. All sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.
Yes. The driver goes slow on the bends. Ask for the climb in the morning.
Yes, there are lodges in town. Many families stay one night and do Kolli Hills the next day.
March to June, when the plains around Dharmapuri reach about 38 C and Salem is at its hottest in April. Elders should travel in the morning, rest after lunch and do darshan in the evening. November to February is the most comfortable. The Urbania's AC keeps the cabin cool between stops.
It is a long day, about nine hours on the road in all. With the Urbania's reclining seats and halts at Krishnagiri and Salem, many elders manage it. If anyone tires easily, stay the night in Namakkal and drive back after breakfast. A folded wheelchair fits in the boot.
