Family pickup
Home pickup is at 5 am, and starting on time matters on a 470 km day. Most of our trips from Bangalore start between 5 and 6:30 am, and that clears the city edge before office traffic, putting breakfast at about 7 to 8 am. A second pickup nearby is fine if it is on the way. The tempo traveller climbs onto the elevated road at Silk Board and takes the exit straight on to Hosur. Children usually sleep the first hour, so keep a pillow and a light blanket inside the van.
Breakfast
Krishnagiri, about 90 km out, is the breakfast halt, and the van parks inside a highway hotel compound. Half an hour suits a group of 12 to 15. The KRP dam on the Thenpennai is about 10 km away, and its boat house, about 8 km from the bus stand, has a children's park, a fair halt for families on the drive back. Fish stalls surround the dam, so it doubles as a lunch stop then. Santhur village nearby has about 150 mango nurseries if anyone gardens. Coming back in summer, buy fresh mangoes here.
Tea
Salem, about 205 km from Bangalore, is the second halt, fifteen minutes on the bypass for tea, restrooms and a stretch. NH544 to Kochi branches off NH44 here, and the van takes it. Mookaneri lake in Salem is a known bird watching spot, an early morning idea for anyone staying over on the return. Salem has over 75,000 handlooms, and its silk and fabric carry GI tags. In season, a glass of fresh mango juice at the tea stall is the local habit. Coimbatore is next, for lunch.
Lunch
Coimbatore, about 365 km out, is lunch for the group. The van uses the bypass from Neelambur to Madukkarai, and the hotel is on the highway side with space to park. Ask for kaalaan, the spicy mushroom dish, as a side, and potato rice, a cheap local favourite. Kovai Kora cotton sarees, a GI product of Coimbatore, make a good gift if the group passes back through town. Keep 45 minutes so everyone eats properly; the next real meal is dinner in Thrissur. The Kerala border is about 30 km ahead.
Tea
Palakkad comes at about 415 km, just after the Walayar check post, and the van stops fifteen minutes for tea. Malampuzha Dam, the largest reservoir in Kerala, is about 15 km from the city, with gardens, a cable car, a snake park and a rock garden close by; a family with children can keep it for the return day. The district is called the granary of Kerala. Kalpathy, the old agraharam, keeps Tamil Brahmin ghee sweets and savouries, sold in the shops of the old streets. Thrissur is about 55 km ahead.
Drive on
Vadakkancherry is a small town about 445 km from Bangalore, and the tempo traveller drives through without a halt. Here the highway becomes six lane up to Mannuthy, the first such stretch in Kerala, so the last part into Thrissur goes quickly even in the evening. If a child needs a restroom, the fuel stations along this stretch are the easiest stop for a van. Thrissur is about 25 km on. The nearest big railway stations are Palakkad Junction and Thrissur, which helps if someone in the group leaves by train later.
Hotel or temple gate
The van reaches Thrissur about 9.5 hours after pickup and drops at the hotel or temple gate. A Kerala breakfast in Thrissur is appam, idiyappam or puttu, and appam comes with stew or egg curry, so ask the hotel to keep it ready for the morning. Thrissur is known for its silks and gold jewellery, and many families on a wedding trip do their buying here. December to February is cooler and dry, and March to May is hot and humid, so plan walks for mornings and evenings in summer.

Bangalore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Teja Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

About 470 km one way by Krishnagiri, Salem, Coimbatore and Palakkad, so about 940 km there and back. A tempo traveller takes about 9.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea. The road is national highway all the way, NH44 to Salem and NH544 on to Thrissur.
In April or May. Hotels fill up early, so book well ahead.
A late return adds a night allowance for our driver. The amount is on the quote you get before the trip.
Yes. You get the fare in writing first. One way costs ₹2 more a km, and the empty return km are counted.
They are added on top. A 12 seater is ₹28,800 for 4 days at ₹24/km (1,200 km), and the driver allowance is ₹2,000. Tolls, the Tamil Nadu and Kerala permits, parking and GST come at actual.
The 16 seater, so the bags fit too. See every size on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
It can. Thrissur gets the retreating monsoon in October and November, usually as heavy afternoon showers. The highway stays open, but the last hour into the city can be slow in rain, so we plan arrival before evening in those months. December to February, cooler and dry, is the easiest season for a family van.
One medium suitcase and one small bag a person fit behind the last row of a 12 seater. For a full 17 seater with big suitcases, the extra bags go on the roof carrier under a tarpaulin. Keep the children's things, snacks and medicines in a bag under the seat so you do not open the back at every halt.
