Group pickup
Six in the morning at a single meeting point, a relative's house or the bus stand perhaps, and the group of up to 18 is on its way. Bags and woollens go behind the last row. Do not fill up on a big breakfast in town; the famous Mysore masala dosa, with its smear of red chutney, can wait for the day you come home. The van leaves by the Nanjangud highway. Five hours, give or take, will see you in Coonoor, 180 km south.
Breakfast and fuel
We roll past Nanjangud and stop at Gundlupet, sixty km along, for breakfast. The eateries are modest roadside places, so simple orders of idli or dosa come quickest; twenty five minutes is plenty for twelve people. Look at the farms as you leave, because grape vines grow here alongside the marigolds, an odd sight on such a dry plain. The driver tops up the tank, as no pumps exist in the forests between here and Gudalur.
Through the forest
What looks like one jungle is really three protected areas run by three states, Bandipur, Mudumalai and Kerala's Wayanad sanctuary, all inside the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve declared in 1986. Our van crosses the Karnataka piece first and keeps moving, as the law demands. Children can keep a tally of elephants, gaur and deer. There is no fence or change of scenery at the state line, just a check post. Because of the overnight ban, nine to six, we only ever run this section by day.
Tea halt
Gudalur, 110 km out, gives the group fifteen minutes for tea and toilets. Some eight km into the climb comes Needle Rock, a lookout where the whole bowl of Gudalur, its tea gardens and the dark Mudumalai forest spread out below; the van can pause there for a short photo stop. Settle anyone who suffers on bends in the front row before we leave, because the ghat runs continuously for about 50 km.
Lunch
Ooty, 160 km from Mysore, is lunch. Afterwards the group can stroll to the lake, dug in 1824 on John Sullivan's orders, where the boat house rents out row and pedal boats; an hour in total covers food and a short walk. At roughly 2,240 m the town is chilly, so this is the moment for sweaters. The final 17 to 19 km to Coonoor run gently downhill. Restrooms near the lake are handy before the last leg.
Drop at your stay
Coonoor is reached about five hours after leaving Mysore. Its year brings around 1,668 mm of rain, most of it in October and November, so umbrellas belong in the luggage during those months. The van can enter most hotel driveways, and we unload right at reception. Green slopes of tea and coffee wrap the town, and almost every window looks out on them. Driving back to Mysore later, we leave Coonoor by late morning so the forest gates are still open.

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. 👍

Coonoor lies about 180 km from Mysore; the full return trip is close to 360 km. In the tempo traveller expect roughly five hours each way once breakfast, tea and lunch are counted. You leave past Nanjangud, fork onto the Ooty highway at Gundlupet, cross Bandipur and Mudumalai, climb from Gudalur to Ooty and then descend a short way to Coonoor. Bandipur bars traffic between nine at night and six in the morning.
No, those are separate. The 12 seater for two days, 600 km is ₹15,600 and the driver bata is ₹1,200. Coonoor: then tolls, Tamil Nadu entry tax, parking and GST.
For Coonoor, the 12 seater, or 15 for space. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Night allowance on the Coonoor run applies after 10 pm: ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
Coonoor one way? Coonoor one way: yes, on request. A one way van to Coonoor is quoted at the return rate plus ₹2 a km.
Nights are cool all year and cold from November to February. Carry warm clothes.
During the holiday seasons, yes. From March to June, and again around September and October, weekend traffic can lock up the climb from Gudalur near Shooting Point, and Ooty's centre slows to a crawl. Our answer is a 6 am start, a brisk lunch and, if possible, travel on weekdays. In the busiest weeks the hill police also run a one way plan on the Coonoor and Kotagiri ghats.
With every seat taken, figure on one medium bag plus a small day bag per person behind the last row. Woollens pack better in soft bags than hard cases. Keep a separate bag of sweaters inside the cabin, as the air cools fast after Gudalur. If you are carrying big suitcases for a long stay, give us the count, and we may suggest the next size up.
