Pickup at home or office
The Urbania picks up at 5 am. Groups living in Banashankari, JP Nagar or Electronic City can join NICE Road and come out on Hosur Road at Electronic City without crossing the city centre. From there the elevated road ends with three exits, and the van takes the one straight on to Hosur. The luggage goes behind the last row, so the aisle stays clear for elders. Toll rates on the Electronic City stretch change every July, so the toll part of the bill can move a little. Breakfast is planned about 90 km out.
Breakfast
Krishnagiri is the first long halt, about 90 km from the city, ringed by rocky hills at the foot of the Krishnadevaraya range. The Urbania parks at a highway hotel with space at the entrance, which helps elders. Avathanapatti lake, with a children's park, is about 5 km away on the highway itself, a good leg stretch for families with small children on the way back. Buy a packet of Arcot makkan peda, the Krishnagiri sweet. Around Santhur village, close by, about 150 nurseries sell mango saplings. Keep 25 minutes.
Tea halt
Salem is about 205 km out, the junction where NH544 to Kochi branches off NH44, and the Urbania takes that branch. A quick tea and restroom halt at the bypass takes fifteen minutes. Sankagiri fort, looked after by the Archaeological Survey of India, is about 22 km off and could fill a spare hour on the return. Salem is a good town for mangoes and cotton clothes if someone wants to shop on the way home. April is the hottest month here, so keep the AC on and water bottles filled.
Lunch
Perundurai, about 280 km from Bangalore and 18 km short of Erode, is the lunch stop. A highway hotel with a separate hall seats the whole Urbania group together. Bhavani, about 12 km from Erode, has the Sangameswarar temple where the Kaveri and Bhavani rivers meet, and its woven jamakkalam carpets carry a GI tag; it is a detour for another trip, not today. Erode itself is a handloom and knitwear centre. Keep 45 minutes for lunch. Coimbatore is the next town, about 80 km on.
Snack
Coimbatore sits at about 427 m on the Noyyal river, around 365 km out, and the Urbania stays on the bypass that runs 28 km round the city. Fifteen minutes is for tea, a snack and the washroom. The Adiyogi statue and the Isha centre are about 35 km off on the western edge, roughly an hour each way, so they make a separate day, not a detour. Elders can stay in the van with the AC on. From here it is about 50 km to Palakkad, with the border check in between.
Check post
Walayar is about 395 km from Bangalore, the Kerala border on NH544. The driver takes the papers to the motor vehicle counter and the group stays inside. From here the highway into Kerala is four lane with service roads all the way to Vadakkencherry, widened by 2015, so the last stretch is easy. Coimbatore airport is about 43 km back, useful if someone joins the group by air. The check usually takes ten minutes. Palakkad is 20 km ahead, and the van goes straight to your hotel.
Hotel drop
The Urbania reaches Palakkad about 8.5 hours after pickup. The road into the city passes Chandranagar, where NH966 to Kozhikode joins the highway, and most of the bigger hotels lie close to this side. Ask the hotel for idli and sambar in the morning, and a Kerala lunch with red matta rice later. The van drops at the hotel gate and the driver stays nearby. For anyone leaving by train, Palakkad Junction at Olavakkode is about 4 km from the bus stand, and Palakkad Town station is in the centre.

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 415 km one way through Krishnagiri, Salem, Perundurai and Coimbatore, then the Walayar border into Kerala, so about 830 km for the round trip. An Urbania takes about 8.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and two short halts. Road is NH44 to Salem, then NH544.
They are extra. The 12 seater Urbania is ₹36,000 for 900 km over 3 days, with ₹2,100 driver allowance. Add tolls, the Tamil Nadu and Kerala permits, parking and GST as charged.
The 12 seater, with room for bags. Compare the sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.
Yes. It is about 10 km from town, and the garden lights come on after sunset.
A night charge is added when the driver works late. You see the amount on the quote ahead of booking.
Yes, we do one way drops by Urbania. It is billed at ₹2 a km more, with the return run counted. Ask for the written quote.
Sometimes. Coimbatore gets the northeast monsoon from October to early November, and Salem gets rain from both monsoons, so the Tamil Nadu half of the road can see heavy showers in that season. The highway stays open, but the Urbania drives slower, and we add a little time to the plan. The rest of the year this half of the road is mostly dry.
Yes. Each seat is a reclining single seat with its own AC vent, and the roof is high enough to stand up straight while moving to the door. Seat elders in the front rows, where the ride is smoothest, and ask for a restroom halt whenever needed. Carry their medicines in a small bag at the seat, not in the luggage space.
