Pickup from your place
The van comes to your home or a hotel at five, and the family is on the expressway early. The trip to Chennai takes about nine and a half hours with halts. Mysore winter mornings can be surprisingly cold for a plateau city, once as low as 7.7 C, so wrap the children in something warm for the first hour. Big bags go behind the last row, with snacks and water within reach.
Breakfast
Breakfast is at Maddur, about an hour from home. The van takes the exit to the old road, where the hotels serve idli and the town's famous vada. Children often like a fresh tender coconut; Maddur sends truckloads of them to other states every day. Twenty five minutes covers breakfast and the restroom. Then back on the expressway for the long run round the city to Hosur Road. The restrooms at the bigger hotels are clean.
Tea and permit
Near Hosur, just inside Tamil Nadu, the van halts while the permit is paid, and the family has tea. Hosur sits about 880 m up, so the air is pleasant even at midmorning. Farms nearby grow tomatoes, beans and mangoes, and stalls by the road sell them fresh. The Kelavarapalli dam park, about 10 km off, is too far for today. Krishnagiri, where the van turns onto NH48, is about 55 km on.
Fruit stop
At Krishnagiri the van takes NH48, the Chennai road, and the children can stretch at a fruit stall. The district is the biggest mango grower in Tamil Nadu, and the KRP dam boat house with a children's park is a short way from the bus stand, a stop for the drive back. Ten minutes, then the four lane highway runs on towards Vellore and lunch. Hand round water to the back rows now.
Lunch
Vellore, about 355 km from Mysore, is the family lunch stop. Families can order biryani or plain vegetarian meals. If the children ask, the fort is in the centre of town, with a moat, double walls and a museum inside, though today there is time only for a look from the van. The van parks away from the busy hospital roads. Forty minutes, then about 130 km to Chennai. Keep caps handy, it is hot.
Stretch and tea
Sriperumbudur is the last tea halt, about 40 km before Chennai on the highway. The town is a busy manufacturing zone for cars and electronics, so expect factory traffic at shift times. In the old town, the Adikesava Perumal temple marks the birthplace of Ramanuja, and its chariot festival falls in April and May. Fifteen minutes for tea and a stretch, then the last hour into the city. Wake the children here.
Arrival
About 10 to 10.5 hours from Mysore by tempo traveller. The family is dropped at the hotel or venue, and the van parks where it can. Central Chennai traffic is heavy, and city parking and tolls are extra, so share the exact address and landmark. Filter coffee is the local favourite for the morning. May is the hottest month, very humid, so keep children indoors in the afternoon. Rest well before city outings.

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. 👍

Chennai is about 485 km from Mysore, about 970 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller goes by the expressway past Maddur, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri and NH48 through Vellore and Sriperumbudur. With breakfast, lunch and tea halts, plan on about nine and a half hours by tempo traveller.
On request, yes. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
Yes, for Chennai they are added at actual: parking, tolls, GST and the Tamil Nadu permit, with the receipts.
A late return after 10 pm adds a night allowance for the driver. We put the amount in your quote. Expect ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
The 16 seater, with bag space. See every size on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes. On the middle day the vehicle stays with you for city runs, inside the billed km.
Most rain falls between October and December, and Chennai streets can flood after heavy showers. NH48 stays open, but the last hour into the city may be slow. We start early so the van reaches before dark in those months. December to February is the best season for a family.
Halts at Maddur, Hosur, Krishnagiri, Vellore and Sriperumbudur keep each stretch under two hours. Pack snacks, water, a change of clothes and a pillow for naps. The van's middle rows suit small children, and the AC keeps the cabin cool on the hot plains.
