Start from Mysore
The bus leaves at 5 am from one gate, a school, office or hotel with room for a full coach. Groups of 27 to 50 should name a coordinator with the passenger list. Bags go in the hold. The road south runs by Nanjangud to Chamarajanagar for breakfast. On the return day, if the group wants a Mysore buy, the Government Sandalwood Oil Factory in Ashokapuram makes sandalwood oil and incense; plan it in daylight before the city traffic builds.

Breakfast and diesel
Chamarajanagar is the breakfast halt for the coach. The driver uses a big hotel near the main road that can serve 40 or more at once and has space to park. The town is on the railway line from Mysore and is known, with Kollegal, for its silk. Keep 45 minutes for a full head count and the restrooms. Diesel is filled here, because the road through Hasanur and down the Dhimbam ghat is forest, with no stopping.

Tea in the plains
Tea is at Sathyamangalam, half an hour for a full coach. The bus has just crossed a forest of about 1,408 sq km, the largest wildlife sanctuary in Tamil Nadu, on a ghat that keeps out lorries of 16.2 tonnes or more. A hotel yard on the highway lets the coach turn without blocking traffic, and the coordinator does the count while the tea is poured. Munnar country is still far, about 215 km away, so nobody should wander off. The flat run to Coimbatore follows.

Lunch
Coimbatore is the long lunch, about an hour for 45 people, at a hotel on the outskirts with room for a coach. Meals on banana leaves are served in sittings. The Dhyanalinga and the big Adiyogi statue are on the city's western side, a half day trip some other time. Buy bananas or biscuits here for the hill climb later, as the Chinnar forest and the road to the park have few shops. Then the coach heads south for Udumalpet, about 70 km.

Fuel and restrooms
Udumalpet, at about 1,208 ft and walled in on three sides by the Western Ghats, is the last fuel and restroom stop before Kerala. Turbines spin on the ridges because the Palghat gap funnels the wind through here. A coach needs about 30 minutes for diesel, tea and the restroom queue. Amaravathi dam, with its crocodile farm on the edge of the Anamalai tiger reserve, is close by if the group returns with a free afternoon. After this halt the bus turns west on SH17 for the Chinnar check post.

Border forest
The bus enters Kerala at the Chinnar check post and then runs about 16 km through the sanctuary. It is dry thorn forest in the rain shadow, open enough to see elephants and deer from the high bus seats. Nobody gets down and nothing is thrown out. The driver takes the bends at a steady pace, as the road rises from about 400 m near the river towards Marayoor, about 15 km on.

Tea halt
Marayoor is the tea halt for the coach, a small town at about 990 m, with mild weather between about 21 and 27 C. A 50 seater parks on the main road; the side lanes are narrow. Use the restrooms in turns and keep 30 minutes. Munnar lies about 40 km south, and the park counter at Fifth Mile comes about 30 km on, after a climb with many bends.

Fifth Mile counter
The bus parks at the Fifth Mile ticket counter. Private vehicles, and certainly a coach, do not drive into the park; the forest department bus shuttles visitors up to Rajamalai and back, so a big group goes up in batches. Keep the ticket money and ID ready with the coordinator. The park closes in the calving season, around February and March. The night stay is in Munnar, about 13 km on.
Taking 30 to 50 people out of town and looking at Mysore to Eravikulam National Park bus hire? One bus keeps the whole group together, with one driver who knows this road well. We collect from hotels on JLB Road and Nazarbad or Mysore railway station. All sizes are on bus on rent in Mysore; we have run it since 2009. Any address in Mysuru works for pickup. The park is also written Rajamalai.

The Mysore to Eravikulam National Park distance is about 355 km, about 710 km for the return. The bus goes by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam, Coimbatore, Udumalpet, Chinnar and Marayoor. A full bus takes about 9 hours with breakfast, lunch, tea and head counts.

Slowly, but without trouble. After the Chinnar check post the road rises from about 400 m near the river to about 990 m at Marayoor, and then keeps climbing on SH17 towards Munnar with many bends. The driver uses low gear, gives way to oncoming buses at the tight turns and keeps to daylight. The group should stay seated on this part, and anyone who gets travel sick should sit in the front rows.
All big bags go in the hold under the bus, tagged with names, and only a small bag comes inside. On the park day the group carries just water, caps and a light jacket, since the forest department bus takes people up and the coach waits at the counter. One person counts bags at loading and unloading, which saves a lot of time at the hotel.
