Pickup at your door
Pickup is at your door in Mysuru at 5:30 am. Dindigul is about 325 km off, a long day through two states, and the forest and ghat near the border are best driven in the morning. The outer ring road meets the Nanjangud road, so the cab skips the old city and heads south. If a Kaveri water protest is in the news, we check the Tamil Nadu side the night before. Keep a light bag in the car with water and snacks.
Breakfast halt
Half an hour at Chamarajanagar, about 60 km out, is breakfast time before the forest. Southern Karnataka ends a short way ahead, and this district town is the last place with a choice of hotels. The Suvarnavathi dam lies about 16 km from town, a quiet spot for a different day. BR Hills, reached through K Gudi and roughly 40 km of forest, is also run from here. Restrooms now, because the next stretch has few.
Forest stop
Hasanur, around 105 km from Mysore, is a small settlement deep in the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, over 1,408 sq km of forest notified as a reserve in 2013. Ten minutes here is the pause before the Dhimbam ghat, whose 27 hairpins end at Bannari. Lorries with 12 or more wheels are kept off the ghat, so it is quieter than a normal highway. Elephants cross this road often, and the driver slows for them without stopping.
Tea on the plains
Once down the ghat, the cab reaches Sathyamangalam, roughly 145 km out, for a fifteen minute tea. Bannari Amman, the goddess of rain, has her temple just before town at the foot of the hairpins. The fields here are wet farmland watered by the Bhavani. Tiruppur, about 57 km away, is the nearest railway station if a plan changes. The road now leaves NH948 and turns south east for Gobichettipalayam, about 35 km on.
Town with green fields
Paddy fields around Gobichettipalayam, about 180 km from Mysore, are so green that film crews shoot here often, which is why locals call the town Mini Kollywood. Stop fifteen minutes if anyone wants coffee or Mysorepa, a sweet the town makes well. Kodiveri dam on the Bhavani, with coracle rides, lies about 13 km back towards Sathyamangalam. Turmeric, copra and bananas are traded in the markets. The cab then takes the road south towards Dharapuram.
Lunch halt
Lunch is at Dharapuram, about 250 km out, a town on the Amaravathi river; give it forty five minutes. The country here is hot and dry, with only about 607 mm of rain, most of it in October and November. Coconut, maize and sugarcane fill the farms. The Agatheeswarar temple is in the town. Palani is only about 35 km away, so families sometimes add darshan there. Dindigul is about 75 km ahead.
Hotel drop
After roughly six and a half hours and 325 km, the cab drops you at your Dindigul hotel. Order the town's own biryani for dinner; it is cooked in a style quite unlike other biryanis. The rock fort, built in 1605 by the Madurai Nayak king Muthu Krishnappa Nayakar on a rock about 900 ft high, overlooks the city; entry is a small ASI fee. Dindigul locks, with their GI tag, make an unusual souvenir.
Heading to Dindigul for family, business or the Palani and Kodaikanal side? A Mysore to Dindigul cab takes the Chamarajanagar and Sathyamangalam road, about 325 km. Book with cab rental in Mysore from Tejas Tours & Travels.
Route | One way | Dindigul and back | Time by cab |
|---|---|---|---|
Mysore to Dindigul via Chamarajanagar, Sathyamangalam and Dharapuram | About 325 km | About 650 km | About 7.5 to 8 hr with stops |
On the 300 km a day rule, a Dindigul round trip of about 650 km becomes 3 days and 900 km. Only fuel and the driver sit in the km rate. Night driver allowance, tolls, parking, permit fees and GST are extra. A Mysore to Dindigul taxi is billed on these same rates.
Vehicle | Rate per km | 3 days, 900 km | 4 days, 1,200 km | 5 days, 1,500 km |
|---|---|---|---|---|
₹12 | ₹12,000 | ₹16,000 | ₹20,000 | |
₹14 | ₹13,800 | ₹18,400 | ₹23,000 | |
₹18 | ₹17,400 | ₹23,200 | ₹29,000 | |
₹20 | ₹19,200 | ₹25,600 | ₹32,000 |
Totals are the km fare plus the day driver allowance. Extra: night driver allowance (₹400 a night), tolls, parking, Tamil Nadu permit and 5% GST. Shared by 7, 4 days in the Toyota Innova Crysta is about ₹3,660 a person.
Going alone or as two? The Dzire is enough. Five or more, or elders who need leg room, take the Innova Crysta; the Toyota Etios sits in between.
Other sizes for the same road: the Mysore to Dindigul Tempo Traveller, and the Mysore to Dindigul Force Urbania.
Cancellation: no charge more than 72 hours before pickup; see the cancellation policy for the rest.

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.

Dindigul is about 325 km from Mysore one way, about 650 km for the round trip, by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam, Gobichettipalayam and Dharapuram. A cab takes about six and a half hours with breakfast at Chamarajanagar and lunch at Dharapuram.
Dzire ₹12,000 Etios ₹13,800 Innova ₹17,400 Innova Crysta ₹19,200 for 3 days and 900 km. The driver gets ₹400 a day, and tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit and GST are charged separately.
Yes. The one way price is the return rate plus ₹2 a km, with the run home already counted, so there are no surprises.
The Innova Crysta seats six with bags. You can check every car on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. Palani is about 35 km from Dharapuram; the extra km are added to the bill.
Yes. It is arranged for your dates and charged at actual with the tolls.
Yes, if driven with care. Wet hairpins can be slippery, and Dindigul's own wet season runs from October to December. We drive the 27 bends slowly and only by day, since the forest department has changed the night rules for this stretch more than once.
It is about 650 km, too long for one day, and the forest stretch should not be driven at night. Most families stay at least one night, often adding Palani or Kodaikanal. Leave Dindigul early on the return day so the ghat is crossed before evening.
