Group pickup
The mini bus starts at 5 am. For a group of 14 to 25, pick one or two boarding points, for example a hostel gate and a hotel near the station, so nobody waits long. The outer ring road, about 41.5 km round Mysore, lets the bus reach the Nanjangud road without crossing the city centre. Bags go at the back, water bottles under the seats. The first halt is breakfast at Chamarajanagar, and the park counter is about eight hours away with all the halts.

Breakfast
Chamarajanagar is the breakfast halt. In the centre stands the Chamarajeshwara temple, with a tall gopura, started in 1825 by Krishnaraja Wodeyar III for his father. A mini bus can stop near it for a five minute look, and the town hotels serve breakfast to a group of 20 in about half an hour. The halt also covers restrooms and water, because the next stretch through Hasanur and down to Bannari is forest with no shops.

Tea at the foot of the ghat
The mini bus comes down the Dhimbam ghat to Bannari, where the Bannari Amman temple, of the goddess of rain, stands at the foot of the hill on the Mysore side of Sathyamangalam. Devotees often stop for darshan there. The group takes tea and the restrooms in Sathyamangalam itself, a short drive on, in about 25 minutes. From here the highway runs straight through the Bhavani farmland to Coimbatore, which is the lunch halt.

Lunch
Coimbatore is lunch for the group, at a hotel with space to park the mini bus outside the centre. Potato rice is a simple local dish that comes fast for a big table. The Velliangiri hills and temple, called the Kailash of the south, rise west of the city, a pilgrimage for another trip. Keep about 50 minutes with the head count, then the bus takes the road south towards Udumalpet.

Diesel and tea
Udumalpet is the last diesel stop before the hills, and the group gets tea and the restrooms in about 25 minutes. Coconut, maize and sugarcane farms surround the town, and the wind farms of the Palghat gap stand on the ridges. The Thirumoorthy hills, with a dam and the Panchalingam falls, are near the town for another day. From Udumalpet the bus turns onto SH17, the Munnar road, towards Chinnar.

Check post
At Chinnar the mini bus stops at the Kerala check post for the papers and then drives about 16 km through the sanctuary. It is dry forest, because the hills cut off most of the rain, and elephants cross often. The group stays seated with windows shut near animals; nobody gets off for photos. After the forest the road climbs from the river level towards Marayoor, and the bus takes the rising bends in low gear with the group seated.

Tea halt
Marayoor is the tea halt before the last climb, at about 990 m, and the bus parks on the main road. It is the only place in Kerala with natural sandalwood forest, and the trees grow close to the town. With a full mini bus, restrooms first and tea after; keep 25 minutes. The park counter is about 30 km on along SH17, which climbs with bends all the way, so the driver keeps a slow pace.

Park counter
The mini bus parks at the Fifth Mile ticket counter. No private vehicle goes up into the park; the forest department bus takes the group to Rajamalai and back, so buy tickets for everyone in one go. The park is closed in the calving season, about February and March. After the visit the bus goes on to your stay in Munnar, about 13 km away, where Kerala meals and Munnar tea are easy to find.

Eravikulam National Park is about 355 km from Mysore by road, or about 710 km there and back. The mini bus goes by Chamarajanagar, Sathyamangalam, Coimbatore, Udumalpet, Chinnar and Marayoor. Plan about 8 hours with breakfast, lunch and three short halts. The hill part after Udumalpet is slower, so the bus starts at 5 am.
The 25 seater, with space for bags. Eravikulam is ₹34,500 for 900 km at ₹36/km, plus ₹2,100 driver bata. The full size list is on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
No. For Eravikulam, tolls, parking, the Kerala permit and GST come extra at actual cost, with every receipt.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. It is shown in the quote. Rate card figure: ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
On request, yes. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
Usually in the calving season, around February and March. Check before you fix the date; if it is shut, the mini bus trip can switch to Munnar sights.
It can. During Dasara, in September or October, Mysore is crowded for ten days and roads round the palace and the centre have diversions, with private buses kept out of the centre at set hours. A mini bus pickup inside the city takes longer then. We fix a pickup point on the ring road side and start earlier, so the group still crosses the forests in daylight.
Yes, if everyone stays seated. The bus crosses the Hasanur forest and the Dhimbam ghat, and later the Chinnar sanctuary, where elephants come near the road. The driver does not stop inside the forest, windows stay closed when animals are close, and no food is thrown out. Children can watch from the windows, which is often the best part of the day for them.
