Meeting point
Ask the whole group of twenty to gather at one place, a community hall, the city bus stand or a hotel lobby, and the mini bus leaves at 5:30 am. Trips that fall during Dasara, in September or October, need an even earlier start: Mysore is packed, police divert traffic on the exits, and Vijayadashami day is best avoided altogether. We head south past Nanjangud and cut across to Chamarajanagar. Papanasam is 615 km away, a two day drive with Madurai in the middle.
Breakfast
Our first meal halt is Chamarajanagar, 60 km out, and half an hour is enough for twenty if the coordinator places the order as the mini bus parks. The hotels here keep it simple: idli, vada and hot coffee. Some 20 km off towards Kollegal, the Gaurishvara temple at Yelandur has chains carved out of stone, worth a separate trip from Mysore one day. Fill the diesel tank before leaving, count heads, and the mini bus enters the Hasanur forest.
Tea
The group stretches its legs at Sathyamangalam, 140 km from Mysore, once the forest and the ghat are done. Fifteen minutes covers tea and the restroom. The town grew up on the Bhavani, and wet paddy land runs along both banks. Upstream, about 16 km to the west, an earthen dam some 40 m high holds the Bhavanisagar reservoir, finished in 1956. Ahead lies Gobichettipalayam and then Erode, about 65 km of flat road.
Restroom halt
Erode, 205 km from Mysore, is a quarter hour break for tea and the restroom, taken near NH544, which carries traffic round the city instead of through it. This is a hot, semi arid district, and most of its rain arrives in October and November. Chennimalai, a hill temple about 30 km away, and Kodiveri dam, about 55 km away, are both outings for another day. The mini bus moves on to Karur, about 65 km south, for lunch.
Lunch
Day one's lunch is at Karur, 270 km along, where a highway hotel can sit twenty people at once; forty five minutes is enough. Karur builds coach bodies and spins cotton, and both trades show along the main road. Nerur, a village near the town, holds the Adhishtanam of Sadasiva Brahmendral, and a few groups like to stop there on the way home. From Karur, NH44 takes the mini bus south towards Dindigul.
Tea
Afternoon tea comes at Dindigul, 345 km out, with the mini bus parked off the highway. The fort on the rock is an ASI monument with a small entry ticket, and from its top the town spreads out to the east; keep the climb for the way back. The town makes padlocks known across India, an inexpensive and useful gift. Roughly 65 km more and the group is at its Madurai hotel.
Night halt
Night one is in Madurai, 410 km from Mysore, in one hotel with room for the mini bus. Shoppers in the group will find the city's Sungudi cotton sarees, brass work and Tanjore paintings in the evening markets. The Meenakshi temple is open until about 10 pm, and phones must be deposited before going in. Next morning Papanasam is about 205 km away, so plan breakfast early and leave soon after.
Morning tea
On day two the mini bus stops at Kovilpatti, 510 km from Mysore on NH44, for a quick tea. Fifteen minutes is enough for twenty to use the restroom. This town is where kadalai mittai, the GI tagged candy of peanuts and jaggery, comes from, and it is cheap enough to buy for everyone. With a railway station and two bus stations, the centre gets busy, so we stay on the highway. Tirunelveli is about 60 km ahead.
Lunch
Lunch on the second day is at Tirunelveli, 570 km out, forty minutes for the group. On the north bank of the Thamirabarani, the Nellaiappar temple spreads over about 14.5 acres, if a few people want a quick darshan. Buy halwa here; Tirunelveli is famous for it, and the shops pack it for travel. Use the restroom before leaving, since the village roads ahead have few. After the meal, the mini bus turns off NH44 and runs about 45 km west towards Papanasam and the hills.
Foot of the hills
The mini bus arrives at Papanasam on the second afternoon, after about 14.5 to 15 hours of driving altogether, and parks near the temple area. Above the village lies the Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, so the forest road is open only in daylight, and the falls are shut whenever there is a flood warning. There are not many rooms near the hills, so we book the group's stay before departure. Leave towels and slippers in the vehicle for later.
Looking for a Mysore to Agasthyamalai mini bus to bathe at Papanasam and see the Agasthiyar falls, for a group of about twenty? Agasthyamalai (Papanasam) is roughly 615 km from Mysuru via Sathyamangalam and Madurai. For Agasthyamalai we pick up from a hotel on Hunsur Road or a hotel on JLB Road. It costs less per head than three cars. Get a mini bus on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

By road the distance from Mysore to Papanasam is about 615 km, close to 1,230 km both ways. Our mini bus goes through the Hasanur forest, comes down at Bannari, and takes the main highways by Erode, Karur and Dindigul to an overnight stop in Madurai. The next day it runs south to Tirunelveli and west to the hills. Allow about 14.5 to 15 hours of driving.
No. Tolls, parking and GST are added at actuals, receipts shown. The Tamil Nadu entry permit for a tourist vehicle is extra too.
Driving late at night means a night allowance for the driver. Night bata: ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Through Sathyamangalam it is roughly 615 km. Via Bangalore and Salem it is close to 790 km.
Sure. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
The 25 seater, so everyone sits and the bags fit. Each size and rate is on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
It is the only slow part of the trip. After the Hasanur forest the road drops through 27 hairpins to Bannari, and the mini bus goes down in low gear, so forest and ghat together take about an hour. We schedule it straight after breakfast. Passengers who get queasy should sit up front with a window open and avoid a heavy meal at Chamarajanagar.
Yes, the plan is built around them. On the first day we stop five times before Madurai, so nobody sits longer than about two hours, and the front rows are kept for seniors. The night is in one hotel. The second day is only about 205 km, broken by tea at Kovilpatti and lunch at Tirunelveli, and the mini bus parks close to the temple area at Papanasam.
