Group pickup
At half past five the tempo traveller collects the group from one address in Mysuru; it seats 9 to 18 and stacks bags at the rear. Instead of threading through the city, the van follows the outer ring road, NH 275K, which loops round Mysore and meets the Nanjangud highway without any downtown traffic. That saves time when the day is this long. Alleppey lies 400 km away, about nine and a half hours with breakfast, lunch and two tea halts.

Breakfast and fuel
Gundlupet, sixty km out, is breakfast. In late August and early September this town ships lorry loads of marigolds to Kerala for the Onam flower carpets, and if you travel then you will see the trade on every corner. Twenty five minutes is enough for a dozen at the simple eateries. The driver fills fuel, since the forests ahead have none. From here the van takes the Ooty highway, NH 181, as far as Gudalur.

Tea halt
Gudalur, 110 km out, is the tea halt. Rain is heavy in these hills, about 3,000 mm a year, nearly three quarters of it from June to August, so monsoon travellers should expect wet roads from here. After fifteen minutes the van turns away from Ooty and descends the Nadukani ghat at Vazhikkadavu, roughly 48 km to Nilambur. Put anyone prone to motion sickness near the front. Toilets here are the last before Nilambur.

Lunch
Lunch is at Nilambur, 165 km from Mysore. If the group is in no hurry, Conolly's Plot lies about 2 km from town, a teak plantation from the 1840s often called the oldest in the world, reached on foot over a hanging bridge across the Chaliyar; it needs about an hour. Most groups keep lunch to forty minutes and save the plot for the journey home, because Alleppey is still about 235 km away.

Tea halt
Thrissur, 270 km out, is a quick tea halt. In April or May the city's Pooram festival packs the centre around the Vadakkumnathan temple with more than a million people, and on that date we would bypass it. Other days, fifteen minutes at a tea shop on the main road is easy. From Thrissur the van runs south on NH544 through Chalakudy and Angamaly towards Kochi, about 75 km. Toilets at the tea shop make it an easy halt.

Drive through
The tempo traveller skirts Kochi, 345 km from Mysore. Fort Kochi and Mattancherry, with the Chinese fishing nets and the Dutch Palace, sit on the islands west of the mainland, where lanes are tight, so they are better seen on a separate day. Today the van stays on the main highway and joins NH66 for Alleppey, about 55 km south. Evening traffic in Ernakulam can add half an hour. The van's driver knows the bypass well.

Drop at your stay
The van reaches Alleppey about nine and a half hours after Mysore. Alappuzha is the coir town of Kerala, and doormats and other coir goods are the thing to take home. We drop the group at its hotel; where a resort sits across a canal, the van stops at the nearest road point and the hotel's boat takes the bags. The town is built on canals and backwaters along Vembanad lake, called Punnamada lake here.

Alleppey lies about 400 km from Mysore; there and back is close to 800 km. Expect roughly nine and a half hours in the tempo traveller with breakfast, lunch and two tea breaks.

The 16 seater. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes, ask us. One way to Alleppey by van is ₹2 more per km than a return, with the km fixed as a written quote.
It can feel that way. From March to May the plain between Nilambur and Kochi is humid and the afternoon stretch drags. The van is air conditioned and water is on board. We start at half past five in summer so most of the plain is behind us before the heat peaks. December to February is the most comfortable season.
With every seat taken, figure on one medium suitcase each plus a small bag. If a houseboat night is planned, pack a separate overnight bag, since the main luggage can stay locked in the van. Medicines and valuables belong in the small bag. Tell us about prams or oversized cases when booking.
