Gate pickup
The tempo traveller arrives at your gate at five. Two driving days are planned, with a night at Tiruvannamalai, so nobody spends too long in one seat. If you are booking in September or October, check the Dasara dates first; on the last day the elephant procession runs from the palace to Bannimantap and the city is packed. Pack beachwear separately for the Puducherry evening, and keep water bottles up front.
Breakfast
Breakfast for the family is on the old highway at Channapatna, reached by the exit from the expressway. Toy workshops nearby run short paid sessions where a child can turn a little wooden toy on a lathe, a lovely half hour if you have it on the way back. Today keep it to breakfast and a quick look at the shelves. Twenty five minutes, then the expressway towards NICE Road and Hosur Road.
Into Tamil Nadu
Hosur Road crosses the state line just after the Attibele toll, and the van halts near Hosur while the permit is sorted. Tea and the restroom take a quarter of an hour. Hosur is one of the cooler towns in Tamil Nadu, with January nights at about 17 deg C. For children who love parks, Kelavarapalli dam is about 10 km off the road, though not today. Krishnagiri, the turn for the coast, is about 50 km on.
Mango junction
The van turns off NH44 at Krishnagiri and takes NH77, the Puducherry road. Stalls along this stretch sell Totapuri and Alphonso mangoes in season, plus bottled pulp and juice the rest of the year. A ten minute fruit stop keeps children going until lunch. The town museum on Gandhi Road has local finds, a stop for the return trip. Tiruvannamalai is about 110 km ahead. The driver refuels here, since the road east has fewer big pumps.
Night at the temple town
Tiruvannamalai, about 335 km from Mysore, is where the family stops for lunch and the night. The Arunachaleswarar temple's four gopurams are visible across town, and children enjoy the evening lamps. The walk round the hill is lit at night and has toilets, but it is about 14 km, too long for small legs. Many vegetarian restaurants serve dinner. Next morning Auroville is about 110 km away. Avoid full moon nights, when lakhs walk the path.
Fort hills
Gingee comes up mid morning on day two, with fort walls climbing over its rocky hills. A short stop for photos works well; the climb is long and hot for children, and monkeys on the hills grab food, so keep snacks inside the van. The fort is looked after by the Archaeological Survey of India. Tea is sold by the road. About 70 km remain to Auroville. Children should wear caps if they get out.
Arrive at Auroville
Over the two days the van drives about nine hours. Auroville is spread out under trees about 12 km north of Pondicherry, off the East Coast Road, and the van drops the family at the guest house. It was founded in 1968, and about 3,300 people live there. Silence is kept in the inner areas, so prepare children for quiet walks. Pondicherry hotels are close if you prefer the town.
Looking for a Mysore to Auroville tempo traveller for a family trip to Auroville and the Pondicherry beaches? The van picks you up at home or at Mysuru Junction and breaks the drive at Tiruvannamalai. Ask for a tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas 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. 👍

Auroville is about 445 km from Mysore, about 890 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller goes by the expressway past Channapatna, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri, and NH77 through Tiruvannamalai and Gingee towards Puducherry. Plan on about nine hours by tempo traveller over two days, with a night at Tiruvannamalai.
Yes. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
Yes, with parking and GST.
Yes, it is around 10 km from Auroville.
The 13 seater. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night is the tempo traveller rate.
The northeast monsoon brings most of the rain between October and December, and Tiruvannamalai gets heavy showers then. Roads stay open, but beach time is short and walks get muddy. December to February is dry and cool, the best time for a family. Summer from April is hot and humid.
The night at Tiruvannamalai breaks the trip into about seven hours and two hours. Pack snacks, water, caps and a change of clothes in a small bag at the seat. Stops at Channapatna, Hosur and Gingee give children a reason to stretch every couple of hours.
