Early door pickup
Eravikulam is a long drive, so the car comes for you at 5 am, from home or from any hotel or guest house in Mysuru. If you want something warm first, Mysore masala dosa with the red chutney inside is the city's own breakfast, but at this hour most people carry a snack and eat at Chamarajanagar, about 60 km down the Nanjangud road. A sedan holds four with their bags, an Innova or Crysta up to seven. The plan is to cross both forests, at Hasanur and at Chinnar, in daylight and reach the park side by early afternoon.
Breakfast and fuel
Chamarajanagar is the breakfast stop and the place to fill the tank, since there is no town for a long while after it. For a car of four, idli and coffee at a main road hotel take about 20 minutes. Yelandur, where the Gaurishvara temple has chains carved from stone, is about 20 km away on the Kollegal side, a detour for a free day, not for today. The town also has a railway station on the line from Mysore. From here the road climbs into the Hasanur forest, crosses into Tamil Nadu and drops down the Dhimbam bends.
Tea after the ghat
By Sathyamangalam the car is back on the plains, with the Dhimbam hairpins behind and the Bhavani river beside the town. The Moyar, which comes down from the Nilgiris side, is one of the rivers that fill the Bhavanisagar reservoir about 16 km to the west. Ten minutes is enough here for tea and the restroom. Traffic on NH948 is steady with buses and lorries, so the driver keeps a fair gap. The next real halt is lunch in Coimbatore, about 70 km on, and after that the long climb towards Munnar.
Lunch
Lunch is in Coimbatore. Paniyaram and appam are easy to find with the meals, and four people eat in about half an hour. A cab can make a short shopping stop that a big vehicle cannot: Coimbatore is a large maker of motors, pumps and jewellery, and RS Puram and the Town Hall area are the shopping streets. Fix the auto or parking spots with the driver, and keep any long shopping for the return. From the city the car runs south through farmland to Udumalpet, the last stop on the plains.
Last fuel in Tamil Nadu
Udumalpet is a farm town that grows coconut, maize, millet, sugarcane and paddy, with hills on three sides. The cab tops up fuel here, because the climb into Kerala comes next and stations are fewer up the hill. A cup of tea and the restroom take ten minutes. For a slower return day, the Thirumoorthy dam and the Panchalingam falls are near the town. From Udumalpet the road to Munnar, SH17, heads west towards the Chinnar check post, about 30 km on.
Border forest
Past the Chinnar check post the car is in Kerala and inside the sanctuary at once. The road crosses the forest for about 16 km. Very little rain reaches this side of the hills, about 48 wet days in a year, so you see scrub and thorn trees rather than tea gardens. Watch for elephants, gaur and deer, but stay inside the car; stopping is not allowed in the sanctuary. The climb starts low, near the river, and Marayoor comes in about 15 km.
Tea in town
Marayoor is a hill town at about 990 m, roughly 30 km before the park counter, and a good place for a tea break. The town is known for Marayoor jaggery, rolled by hand into balls from cane grown here and at Kanthalloor, and given a GI tag in 2019; small shops sell it by the kilo. Ten minutes is enough with four people. From here SH17 keeps climbing south towards Munnar through the hills, with bends that are best driven slowly.
Fifth Mile counter
The cab drops you at the park's ticket counter at Fifth Mile. Private vehicles do not go up to Rajamalai; the forest department bus takes visitors from the counter and brings them back, so the driver waits in the parking below. The park closes for the tahr calving season, usually around February and March, so check before you book those weeks. Munnar town is about 13 km on, where most families stay, and Kerala meals and Munnar tea are easy to find there.

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.

Eravikulam National Park is about 355 km from Mysore by road, about 710 km there and back. The cab goes by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam, Coimbatore and Udumalpet, then through Chinnar and Marayoor on SH17. Plan about 7.5 to 8 hours of driving with breakfast and lunch. The last 75 km from Udumalpet are hill road, slower than the plains.
Yes. Ask for a Mysore to Eravikulam National Park one way cab quote with your date; you get the km and fare in writing.
If the Eravikulam National Park car runs past 10 pm, the night bata is ₹400 a night.
Six people with bags to Eravikulam fit an Innova Crysta. Here it works out to ₹18,000 for 900 km at ₹20/km, and ₹1,200 driver allowance. See each car on cab rental in Mysore.
On the 355 km road to Eravikulam National Park, GST, tolls, parking and permits are added at actual.
For Eravikulam leave around 5:00 am, so the forest and ghat parts pass in daylight. Since a car is faster than a bus or van, a late riser is not a problem.
No. The park closes for the Nilgiri tahr calving season, usually around February and March, and the dates are announced each year. In the rest of the year the forest department bus runs from the Fifth Mile counter to Rajamalai. If your trip falls close to those months, tell us the dates and we check before you pay, so the cab is not booked for a closed park.
We do not plan it. The road crosses two forests, at Hasanur and Dhimbam and again at Chinnar, where elephants use the road after dark, and traffic on the Bannari to Dhimbam stretch has been banned at night in the past. A night start would also leave the driver tired for the ghats. Leave Mysore at 5 am instead, and the cab reaches the park side by early afternoon.
