Pickup from your place
The car collects you at half past five from home, a hotel or the railway station, and is on the expressway before the city stirs. Chennai is about 485 km away, roughly nine hours with halts, so you arrive in the late afternoon. Friends and family in Chennai often ask for Mysore pak, the ghee rich gram flour sweet cut into blocks; buy it the evening before so it travels in the boot. Carry light cotton clothes, as the coast is humid.
Breakfast
An hour up the expressway, the car takes the Maddur exit for breakfast. Maddur vada, crisp and flat, with strong coffee is the local order. The town sits where SH 33 turns south to Malavalli and Shivanasamudra, so the junction gets busy later in the day. Twenty minutes is enough for four. Back on the six lane road, the car heads for the city edge, where NICE Road takes it round to Hosur Road.
Into Tamil Nadu
Hosur Road leads past Electronic City and the Attibele toll into Tamil Nadu, and at the check post near Hosur the driver pays the tax for an outside cab. Ten minutes for tea from a stall. Hosur is about 306 km west of Chennai by road, so the first third of the trip is done. Rose and vegetable farms surround the town, which sits high and cool on the plateau.
Onto NH48
Krishnagiri is the fork where the car leaves NH44 for NH48, the straight road to Vellore and Chennai. Granite hills crowd round the town. A fruit stop is quick: Totapuri and Alphonso mangoes in season, and bottles of pulp and juice all year. Krishnagiri is about 250 km from Chennai, and from here the road is a fast four lane highway. Lunch is at Vellore, about two hours ahead. The driver tops up fuel here.
Lunch
Vellore makes the lunch halt, about 355 km from Mysore. Biryani cooked with jeera samba rice is the town's dish, and rice meals are on every menu. The 16th century fort with its wide moat stands in the middle of town, worth a slow drive past. Parking a car is easy away from the hospital lanes. Forty minutes, then about 130 km to Chennai on NH48. Fill water bottles before leaving.
Drive through
Sriperumbudur sits on the highway some 40 km before Chennai and is now a large hub for car and electronics plants, so shift change hours bring heavy traffic. The old town holds the Adikesava Perumal temple, built where the saint Ramanuja was born, and the memorial to Rajiv Gandhi, opened in 2003 at the spot where he died. Unless you ask for a halt, the car drives straight through and on into the city.
Arrival
A cab takes about 10 to 10.5 hours from Mysore with halts. The driver drops you at your hotel or venue in Chennai. Traffic in central Chennai is heavy, and parking and city tolls are extra on the fare, so tell us the address in advance. Filter coffee is the city's pride; try it with a plate of idli in the morning. May is extremely hot and humid, and most rain falls from October to December.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Chennai is about 485 km from Mysore, so about 970 km there and back. The cab takes the expressway past Maddur, NICE Road and Hosur Road to Hosur, NH44 to Krishnagiri, then NH48 through Vellore and Sriperumbudur. By car, plan on about nine hours with breakfast, lunch and short halts.
Chennai with six or seven: an Innova or Innova Crysta. See each car on cab rental in Mysore. Six people and their bags fit.
Leave by 5:30 am for the Chennai drive. With the halts on this page you reach Chennai in roughly 10 to 10.5 hours. A car is flexible; leave later if you like.
Yes. A Mysore to Chennai one way taxi is priced on request.
Chennai: driving after 10 pm adds the driver night bata, ₹400 a night.
Yes. Tolls, GST, parking and the Tamil Nadu permit are extra at actual cost.
December to February is the most comfortable time. Chennai is extremely hot and humid in May, and most rain comes from October to December with the northeast monsoon, when city roads can flood. NH48 itself stays open in all seasons; the driver simply slows down in heavy rain.
It is possible, but we prefer a day start. The NH48 stretch carries many trucks at night, and a daytime drive lets the driver keep fresh and you see the towns on the way. If you must arrive early in Chennai, we leave late at night and plan a longer rest for the driver.
