Door pickup
The Urbania comes to your door at 6 am; with a night at Madurai there is no need to start in the dark. Elders get the front rows, and the reclining seats help on the first day of about 435 km. The Attibele toll and the Tamil Nadu border come about 32 km out, and tolls are paid per crossing, as tourist vans cannot use the FASTag annual pass. Krishnagiri, about 90 km out, is breakfast.
Breakfast
Krishnagiri comes at about 90 km, and breakfast takes 25 minutes, with the Urbania parked at the hotel door. Ramapuram, near the town, has a Rama temple about 500 years old, and the Shree Parshwa Padmavathi Shaktipeet, a Jain tirth, stands by the highway. The six lane widening from Hosur means slow patches before the town. Mango pulp packs from the district keep well for the trip, and the elders can rest in the van while others shop.
Tea
Salem comes at about 205 km, a fifteen minute tea stop. The Shevaroy hills and Yercaud are about 20 km north, and Sankagiri fort, an ASI site, about 22 km away. Salem silk and Salem fabric carry GI tags, and the city weaves on over 75,000 handlooms. In Aadi, mid July to mid August, the Kottai Mariamman festival crowds the centre. The Urbania keeps to NH44 south, with lunch planned at Dindigul.
Drive through
Karur comes at about 295 km on NH44, and the Urbania keeps going. Many of India's bus bodies are built here, along with the textiles of its mills and dyeing units. The town sits in the rain shadow, driest in March and hot from April to June. Trichy airport is about 78 km away, if a relative needs to join. The Pasupatheeswarar temple stands in the centre. Dindigul is about 80 km ahead.
Lunch
Dindigul comes at about 375 km, and lunch takes forty minutes. Elders can choose rice with sambar and rasam over the rich biryani. Dindigul is about 265 m up and some 66 km from Madurai. Its locks have a GI tag, and Sungudi sarees are on sale. The Sirumalai hills lie about 25 km off on the Natham road. The night halt at Madurai is about an hour on, so the group checks in before dark.
Night halt
Madurai comes at about 435 km and is the night halt. The Meenakshi temple has 14 gopurams, the tallest, the southern one, about 52 m. Elders can visit in the evening session, about 4 pm to 10 pm, entering by the south gopuram; phones and cameras are deposited first. The golden lotus tank inside is a calm place to sit. Ask for ground floor rooms near the lift. The Urbania leaves early next morning for Poovar.
Breakfast
Kovilpatti comes at about 540 km, on the second morning, and breakfast takes about twenty minutes. Virudhunagar is passed before it on NH44. Kovilpatti kadalai mittai, peanut candy with jaggery, is GI tagged and sold in neat packs. Kalugumalai, a 300 ft dome shaped rock with two rock cut temples, lies off the road towards Sankarankovil. The day warms quickly here, up to about 37 C, so start early. Tirunelveli is next, about 55 km on.
Tea
Tirunelveli comes at about 595 km, for tea and a box of the city's halwa. Elders who enjoy temple architecture may want to see the Nellaiappar temple, whose stone pillars give musical notes when struck. NH44 and NH82 meet here, and Tuticorin airport is about 22 km east. From March to June the city is hot, up to about 38 C in May. Nagercoil is about 65 km on, for lunch.
Lunch
Nagercoil comes at about 660 km, and lunch takes forty minutes. The Nagaraja temple, which gives the town its name, holds Krishna and Nagaraja as its deities. Cloves from the plantations around are known for their aroma, and banana chips fried in coconut oil are the snack to carry. The wind farms of Muppandal stand near the town. Thiruvananthapuram airport is about 70 km away. Poovar is about 50 km on.
Last stretch
Marthandam comes at about 690 km, and the Urbania rides over the town on a steel flyover of over 2 km. Honey is its best known product, GI tagged in 2023, and cashew, rubber and hand embroidery are traded here too. Thiruvananthapuram airport is about 40 km from here, useful if someone flies home early. The Kerala border is just ahead, and Poovar is about 20 km on, a short run to the jetty.
Jetty drop
The Urbania reaches the Poovar jetty after about 14 hours of driving over two days. Poovar sits about 6 km off NH66, where the Neyyar meets the sea. Island resorts bring guests and bags across by boat; elders should be helped on and off, and the driver lends a hand with the bags. The van parks at the jetty for the days of the stay. Thiruvananthapuram airport is about 26 km from here, if someone flies home first.

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.

Count on about 710 km each way and about 1,420 km in all. The Urbania follows NH44 by Krishnagiri, Salem, Dindigul, Madurai and Tirunelveli to Nagercoil, then NH66 past Marthandam to the Poovar turn. It takes about 14 hours of driving, which we split with a night at Madurai for elders.
5 days at 1500 km and ₹40/km is ₹60,000, any size. Add ₹700 a day allowance, tolls and GST.
Yes. Quiet ride and reclining seats; elders manage two long days well.
The 12 seater. See Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.
We arrange them with drivers from owners we work with, at our rate.
Yes, about 15 km. Extra km at ₹40.
December to February. The sea is calmer, the boat crossings smoother and the heat on the plains is low. The southwest monsoon from June and Nagercoil's heavy rains keep the coast wet till December. March to July is very hot at Madurai, which makes the first day tiring even in an AC van.
With elders we do not suggest it. Straight through is about 14 hours of driving plus halts, so the van would reach the jetty after dark, and a boat transfer at night is harder for elders. The Madurai night also gives the group an easy evening at the temple.
