Group pickup
The coach leaves at 5 am from your college, office or hall in Mysuru, with 27 to 50 seats and bags in the hold. Breakfast comes later on the road, but anyone who wants a box of Mysore pak for the hosts in Kerala should buy it the evening before. We take the Nanjangud road south. Athirappilly is 330 km away, so the coach plans a night halt at Chalakudy and the falls the next morning.

Breakfast
Gundlupet, 60 km out, is breakfast and fuel. This is the last town in Karnataka on the highway, and here the coach leaves NH 766 for NH 181 through Bandipur. Forty people take time at small eateries, so allow forty minutes with the head count. Restrooms now; the forest allows no halts for about 50 km, as far as Gudalur. Between June and August the flower fields along the road are in bloom, a fine sight from the coach windows.

Group lunch
Gudalur, 115 km from Mysore, is the lunch halt for the coach. Roads from Karnataka, Kerala and Ooty meet here, at about 1,100 m, and the town is busy, so we book a hotel with parking for the group. An hour covers lunch and the head count. After lunch the coach goes down the Nadukani ghat towards Nilambur, slowly, with steady bends. Restrooms for forty take time, so the head count happens at the door.

Restroom halt
Nilambur, 165 km out, is a restroom halt. Nilambur teak was the first forest produce in India to earn a GI tag, and the town still feels like a timber town on the Chaliyar. Fifteen minutes for forty people at the restrooms. Thrissur is about 110 km ahead on the plain; the coach keeps a steady pace to reach Chalakudy by evening. Calicut airport is about 44.5 km away, useful if any member flies home from Kerala.

Drive on
Perinthalmanna, 205 km out, is crowded at peak hours, and a coach in the centre only loses time. The bus drives through without stopping and keeps to the main road. About 70 km remain to Thrissur. The trip leader can share the hotel and room list for Chalakudy now, so the evening check in is quick. Water and snacks on board carry the group to Thrissur. Seats stay as allotted, so nobody needs to move.

Tea halt
Thrissur, 275 km from Mysore, is a twenty minute tea halt. Our Lady of Dolours Basilica here is described as the largest church in India, and the city is called the cultural capital of Kerala. The coach stops on the main road for tea. Just north of the city, the stretch of NH544 from Vadakkencherry to Mannuthy was the first six lane national highway in Kerala. Chalakudy is 30 km south.

Night halt
Chalakudy, 300 km from Mysore, is the group's night halt. The town is on NH544, about 30 km south of Thrissur and 47 km north of Kochi, and hotels near the highway can feed fifty for dinner and park a coach. We drop the group at the hotel. An early night is wise; the falls open at 8 am, and the coach leaves for them after breakfast. Dinner for fifty should be ordered in advance.

Arrival at the falls
The coach covers the last 30 km from Chalakudy in the morning and reaches the Athirappilly entrance soon after it opens at 8 am; the total driving time from Mysore is about ten hours. The group walks from the coach parking. The road beyond the falls runs through forest with check posts to Malakkappara and is not a through route, so the coach returns via Chalakudy and Thrissur. Elephants live in the forest around, so the group walks together.

About 330 km separate Mysore from the falls, roughly 660 km for the whole return. A coach needs close to ten hours of driving, so we split it with a night at Chalakudy. The coach crosses Bandipur, descends the Nadukani ghat into Kerala, follows NH544 from Thrissur and turns off at Chalakudy. Bandipur's highway shuts from 9 pm to 6 am.
Only if the driver drives through the night. We plan around the forest closure. The bus night bata is ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size.
It can be done. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.

The 45 or 49 seater. See bus on rent in Mysore.
During Thrissur Pooram, in April or May, when more than a million people gather round the Vadakkumnathan temple and the city centre is packed. The Pooram exhibition runs for 40 to 50 days around it. A coach should avoid Pooram day or route round the centre, and we check the date when you book.
Suitcases stay in the hold until the Chalakudy hotel. Each person keeps a small bag with a change of clothes, towel, medicines and water for the day, because the hold is not opened at roadside halts. For the falls, slippers and a dry set of clothes are useful, as the spray gets everyone wet.
