Group pickup
A mini bus group of 14 to 25 does best with one pickup point, and we fix it at booking so the bus leaves at 5 am sharp. Avoid Majestic as a meeting point, because traffic police give private buses very little time to load there. For groups on the Sarjapur side, the Sarjapur to Bagalur road reaches Hosur without the main highway, a useful bypass if Hosur Road is jammed. The Sarjapur and Attibele junction has seven roads meeting, so that route works only early. Breakfast is about 90 km out at Krishnagiri.
Breakfast
Krishnagiri is about 90 km out, and the mini bus pulls into a highway hotel with a wide yard, so the group gets down in one go. Thirty minutes covers breakfast and the restrooms for a full bus. The town has a Government Museum on Gandhi Road, open since 1993, small but useful for a school group on a slower return. Fish stalls around the KRP dam make it a lunch spot for anyone coming back by daylight. Krishnagiri holds a mango exhibition every year, and the district is the top mango grower of Tamil Nadu.
Short halt
The mini bus reaches Salem at about 205 km and leaves NH44 for NH544, the road that carries the Coimbatore and Kerala traffic. The halt is on the bypass at a food court with bus parking, fifteen minutes for tea and restrooms. Salem is known for biryani and chicken varuval, worth remembering for lunch on the return. Kurumbapatti zoo is about 12 km from the Salem bus stand, an easy add for a school group on the way back. The next halt is lunch at Perundurai.
Lunch
Perundurai is about 280 km out on NH544, roughly halfway between Salem and Coimbatore, with the SIPCOT industrial estate around it. Highway hotels here are used to feeding factory crews, so a mini bus group of 20 is served quickly. Expect parotta, dosa and full meals. Erode, 18 km away, has a big textile market where traders from all over India buy cotton cloth, though it needs its own half day. Keep 45 minutes, then a flat 80 km run to Coimbatore.
Tea and fuel
The mini bus skirts Coimbatore on the Neelambur to Madukkarai bypass, about 365 km from Bangalore. It is a good spot for diesel and a twenty minute tea halt before Kerala. Coimbatore supplies nearly half of India's motors and pumps and is a large jewellery maker; Cross Cut Road in town is the jewellery street. Shopping needs an evening in the city, so plan it on the return if the group wants it. Walayar, the border, is about 30 km ahead, and the group stays seated through the check.
Border
Walayar, about 395 km out, is the Kerala border, with commercial tax, motor vehicle, forest, excise and rinderpest check posts. The mini bus stops at the motor vehicle counter while the driver shows the permit and the tax receipt. Kerala's tax rule for other state tourist vehicles has changed several times, so the driver confirms the current rule before the trip and the fare note says how the tax is billed. The group stays seated, and the stop takes about ten minutes. Palakkad is 20 km on.
Hotel drop
The mini bus reaches Palakkad about 9 hours after the 5 am start. We drop at the hotel or hall, and where the lane is narrow the bus waits on the main road while the group walks the last few steps. The city lies on the northern bank of the Bharathappuzha, and July is its wettest month. For onward travel, the KSRTC terminal is in the centre and Palakkad Junction station is at Olavakkode. Order Kerala meals with red matta rice for dinner; most hotels serve it.
Is a group of 20 going to Palakkad for a wedding, a temple visit or Malampuzha? On a Bangalore to Palakkad mini bus everyone sits together for the 415 km and the luggage comes too. We have run mini bus on rent in Bangalore since 2009.

About 415 km one way by Krishnagiri, Salem, Coimbatore and the Walayar border, so about 830 km there and back. A mini bus takes about 9 hours with breakfast, lunch, tea and the border halt. The road is NH44 as far as Salem and NH544 from Salem to Palakkad.
The 20 seater mini bus: 900 km over 3 days at ₹34/km, which makes ₹30,600. ₹2,100 allowance extra; tolls, permits and GST at actual.
Yes. One way is ₹2 a km above the return rate; the run back is counted in the quote we send.
The 20 or 21 seater. See them all on mini bus on rent in Bangalore.
Yes. Nelliyampathy is about 60 km and Silent Valley about 80 km. The extra km are billed at the same rate.
Yes, the dam and garden have parking at the entry. Keep 2 to 3 hours; the garden is lit in the evening.
March to June. Salem is hottest in April, Krishnagiri's summer runs March to June, and in Palakkad March and April are the worst. The mini bus is air conditioned, but long halts in the sun tire a group. In those months we start at 5 am, keep halts short in the afternoon, and plan sightseeing for early mornings and evenings.
Yes. A night start around 10 pm puts the group in Palakkad by morning, with tea halts at Krishnagiri and Salem and the border check before dawn. The driver rests in the day before, and the bill adds a night allowance. Sleepers do better in the reclining seats at the back, away from the door.
