Mysore pickup
Our tempo traveller can start from the Mysore airport at Mandakalli, about 10 km south of the centre, or from your house; we plan it for five in the morning. It is roughly a ten hour day with halts, so children should sleep early the night before. Bags go behind the last row, and a cool box with water and fruit stays in the aisle. Keep cotton clothes for the humid coast.
Breakfast
Maddur is the family breakfast stop, about an hour out. The van comes off the expressway onto the old road, where hotels fry Maddur vada all morning and serve idli for the little ones. The Shimsha river runs through the town. If the family likes birds, Kokkarebellur, where storks and pelicans nest in village trees from about September, is 12 km away, for another trip. Twenty five minutes, then back on the expressway.
Into Tamil Nadu
Over the state line the van stops near Hosur while the driver pays the Tamil Nadu permit at the check post. The family takes tea and a restroom break. The town's hill temple of Shiva, Chandra Choodeswarar, is the only one in north Tamil Nadu with a golden chariot. Kelavarapalli dam, about 10 km away, has a park for children, though not today. NH44 continues to Krishnagiri. Children can stretch in the hotel compound.
Fruit stop
At Krishnagiri the van leaves the Salem road and takes NH77 east. Children can stretch at a fruit stall; the district grows Totapuri and Alphonso mangoes, and pulp and juice are sold in bottles. The town has a sweet called Arcot makkan peda, rich and milky, a treat for later. Ten minutes, then about 110 km of quieter road to Tiruvannamalai and lunch. The town sits below rocky hills with an old fort on the summit, which children can spot from the van window.
Lunch and darshan
Tiruvannamalai is the lunch and darshan stop. The Arunachaleswarar temple has four big gopurams, the eastern one about 66 m high, and children like counting the storeys. Rituals run from early morning until ten at night, so a short darshan fits after lunch. Vegetarian restaurants are plentiful near the temple. Avoid full moon days, when the town fills with pilgrims. An hour here. Keep footwear in the van to save time at the gate.
Fuel and tea
Villupuram is a busy junction town, a fuel stop for the van, with clean washrooms at the pump. Tea and parotta are sold nearby. The town sits about 35 km west of Puducherry and has one of the largest railway junctions in Tamil Nadu. It is hot and humid here most of the year, so keep the children's water bottles full. Fifteen minutes, then about 80 km to Chidambaram. Count the children before boarding.
Temple town
From Mysore it is roughly ten hours of driving with halts. The tempo traveller takes the family to the hotel door, or as close as the road allows. Chidambaram fills up for Aani Thirumanjanam in June or July and Margazhi Thiruvadhirai in December or January, so check those dates. Meals in the temple town are simple and vegetarian. If someone flies home, Tiruchirappalli airport is about 165 km away. The van parks near the hotel for the night.

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. 👍

Chidambaram is about 490 km from Mysore, about 980 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller goes by the expressway past Maddur, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri, NH77 to Tiruvannamalai and on through Villupuram. With halts, plan on about ten hours by tempo traveller.
Sure. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
Yes. Pichavaram is about 15 km from Chidambaram. Keep two hours for the boat ride.
Chidambaram: the 16 seater, since big bags need the spare seats. This trip comes to ₹40,800 for 1,200 km at ₹32/km, and ₹2,400 driver's allowance. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
A night allowance for the driver applies only if the drive runs late into the night. Night bata: ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
No. Tolls, parking and GST are extra at cost. Chidambaram is in Tamil Nadu, so the permit is extra too.
The northeast monsoon brings most of the rain to this coast from October to December, and Villupuram alone gets about 1,046 mm a year. The highway stays open, but town streets near the coast can flood for a few hours. For a family, January and February are drier, but check the festival dates.
Break it every two hours: Maddur, Hosur, Krishnagiri, Tiruvannamalai and Villupuram. Pack snacks, water, a change of clothes and small games. Children can nap after breakfast and after lunch. If they tire, we can halt for the night at Tiruvannamalai.
