Pickup from home
The Urbania picks up from your gate at 5 am; at about 2.55 m it cannot use a basement. Its step is low and there is a grab handle, so elders get in easily. Leaving this early means the ghat is done before the afternoon heat. West side pickups use the MAR corridor to Mysore Road. Thalassery is about 315 km away, around six and a half hours of driving with stops.
Short break
An optional tea stop comes at Channapatna, 60 km out. Elders who want a quick prayer can stop at the Kengal Anjaneya temple, which stands right beside the highway some 10 km before the town, with no steps to climb. Channapatna turns more than toys: lacquered kitchen spoons, boxes and bangles are sold on the old road, light gifts for grandchildren in Kerala. Many Urbania groups skip this halt and wait for breakfast near Mysore.
Breakfast at a table
Near the Mysore ring road, about 145 km out, the group has breakfast at a hotel where elders can sit at a proper table; soft idli, upma and coffee, with clean restrooms. The van does not enter the city. On a relaxed return, the palace is an easy outing for elders, open roughly from 10 am to 5:30 pm, with shoes left at the counter. The driver refuels and checks the van before the long Coorg leg.
Drive through
Hunsur, 175 km along, is a tobacco market town, and the national tobacco research body keeps a station here; curing barns stand in the fields beside the road. Most Urbania groups pass straight through so elders can keep resting. If anyone needs a break, tea is quick near the bus stand. Beyond the town the van takes the state road south into Coorg, a calm, gently rising road towards Virajpet.
Coffee and restroom
Virajpet, 240 km from Bangalore, is the last good stop before the Makutta ghat, which has no shops. Coffee, honey and spices are sold along the main road. Everyone should use the restroom here, and elders can walk a few minutes to ease stiff knees. For guests flying in later, Kannur airport is about 59 km from Virajpet, while the nearest railway stations are about 80 km away. On the ghat, the front rows sway the least.
Lunch in Kerala
Iritty, 270 km out, sits on the Bavali river beside a steel bridge the British built in 1933, and it is the first Kerala town after the ghat. Lunch is a sit down Kerala meal: rice, sambar, thoran and fish for those who eat it. The van waits in the shade while elders rest after the meal and the driver refuels. Thalassery is about 45 km on, by an easier road through pepper and rubber gardens.
Door drop
The Urbania drops you at the hotel or the family home and the driver helps with the bags. Thalassery lies on the coast about 22 km south of Kannur and about 66 km north of Kozhikode. Its biryani, cooked with fragrant kaima rice instead of basmati, is the dish to try, and the town's bakeries are said to be the oldest in Kerala. If anyone flies on, Kannur airport is about 24 km east. The driver stays nearby.
Is a Bangalore to Thalassery Force Urbania the right van for elders, relatives or a small office group of 8 to 16? It makes the ghat road and the long day easier, with reclining seats and a quiet cabin. We arrange Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore with a driver.

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.

It is about 315 km from Bangalore to Thalassery, so around 630 km both ways. The Urbania goes by the Mysore expressway, round Mysore, through Hunsur and Virajpet, down the Makutta ghat and on via Iritty. The drive takes about 6.5 hours, plus breakfast near Mysore, tea at Virajpet and a sit down lunch at Iritty.
₹40/km for any size; 3 days and 900 km make ₹36,000. Then ₹700 a day for the driver, tolls, the Kerala permit and GST.
Yes. It is steady and the seats hold you well on bends. The driver keeps it slow.
The 16 seater, so bags and people both fit. All sizes are on Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.
It comes with its driver from owners we partner with. You book and pay us, and we handle the trip.
Yes. A night in Virajpet or Madikeri on the return adds a day; we quote it with the km.
April and May are hot and humid on the Malabar coast, and Virajpet itself crosses 34 C. The Urbania's air conditioning makes the road part easy, but keep sightseeing to early mornings and evenings. For elders, October to February is far kinder, with dry Coorg roads and cool evenings by the sea.
They usually can. The Makutta ghat between Virajpet and Iritty is the only winding section, and the front rows ride smoothest there. Breakfast, tea and lunch break the day, and the driver halts on request. Keep medicines and a shawl at hand. If it feels like too much, stay a night in Virajpet and finish the coast leg next morning.
