Pickup in Mysore
We pick up the family from one or two addresses in Mysuru at 5 am, so the group is past both forests before the afternoon. The van takes the Nanjangud road south. Keep sweaters in a hand bag, not in the big bags at the back, because the park side is cool. If you are planning a Mysore day on the way back, remember that the zoo and Karanji lake are shut on Tuesdays. Breakfast is at Chamarajanagar, about 60 km out, and the day's driving runs about 7.5 to 8 hours with halts.
Breakfast
Chamarajanagar is the breakfast halt for the family. The van stops at a hotel on the main road with room to park, and a group of a dozen eats in half an hour. The Suvarnavathi dam is about 16 km from town if you ever come for a day trip. The district is called a silk district, like Kollegal, so silk is the thing people ask about here. Fill water bottles, use the restrooms and buy fruit for the children, because the forest road towards Hasanur has no shops.
Tea after the ghat
The van comes down the Dhimbam bends and reaches Sathyamangalam, the first Tamil Nadu town on the road. The forest you just crossed is a key elephant corridor, with more than 850 elephants counted, and about 80 tigers were recorded here in 2018, so it is worth telling the children what they were looking at. Twenty minutes covers tea and the restrooms for a group this size. The highway, NH948, continues to Coimbatore through flat farmland.
Lunch
Coimbatore is lunch. Kaalaan, mushroom fried and then cooked in a spicy gravy, is the street snack the city is known for, and the meals hotels serve idli and dosa at any hour for children who want something plain. The van parks outside the centre to save time. Kovai Kora cotton sarees, a GI product of the city, make a light gift to carry home. Keep about 45 minutes, then the van heads south to Udumalpet.
Fuel and tea
Udumalpet is a quiet town at about 1,208 ft, ringed by windmills that use the wind of the Palghat gap. The driver fills diesel, since the hill road comes next, and the group gets tea and the restrooms in 20 minutes. Amaravathi dam, with a crocodile farm, is near the town on the edge of the Anamalai tiger reserve; children enjoy it, so keep it in mind for the return. From here SH17 runs west towards Chinnar and the Kerala border.
Check post
Chinnar is where the van enters Kerala. The driver stops briefly at the check post and the group stays inside. Then the road runs about 16 km through the Chinnar sanctuary, a dry forest where the yearly rain is only about 500 mm. Ask the children to look out of the windows for elephants and deer, but the van does not stop and nobody gets down. At the far end the road starts to rise towards Marayoor.
Tea halt
Marayoor is the last town before the park, at about 990 m, and the air is noticeably cooler than on the plains. Take 20 minutes for tea and the restrooms. Old dolmens stand at Kovilkadavu, under 5 km from the town, and the Ezhuthu Guha rock paintings are in the Koodakavu sandalwood reserve; both suit a slower day. Temperatures here usually stay between 21 and 27 C. The van then climbs towards Munnar, about 30 km on to the park counter.
Fifth Mile counter
The tempo traveller stops at the Fifth Mile ticket counter, where visitors leave their own vehicles. The forest department bus takes the group up to Rajamalai and back, so carry water, caps and a light jacket in a small bag and leave the rest in the van. The park shuts in the calving season, around February and March. After the visit the van goes on to your stay in Munnar, about 13 km away, where Kerala meals and local tea are easy to find.

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. 👍

The Mysore to Eravikulam National Park distance is about 355 km one way and about 710 km for the round trip, by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam, Coimbatore, Udumalpet, Chinnar and Marayoor. A tempo traveller takes about 7.5 to 8 hours with breakfast, lunch and two tea halts. The park counter is at Fifth Mile on the Munnar road.
A night allowance for the driver applies only if the drive runs late into the night. It is shown in the quote. Per night it is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
No. Out of state, the permit is extra too. Tolls, parking and GST are extra at the real cost.
Eravikulam: the 16 seater; the spare seats hold big bags. For this trip it is ₹30,600 for 900 km at ₹32/km, plus ₹1,800 driver bata. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
On request, yes. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Coimbatore, Udumalpet and the Chinnar ghat to Marayoor. The tempo traveller crosses both forest stretches in daylight.
Less than you may expect. Chinnar and Marayoor sit in a rain shadow and get only about 500 mm a year, so most of the climb is on dry road. The plains around Coimbatore get the southwest monsoon from about July and the northeast rains in October and early November, and the Dhimbam ghat is slow when wet. On rainy days we add an hour to the plan and keep the forest parts in daylight.
One soft bag per person goes behind the last row, and a small day bag for the park. In the day bag keep a light jacket, caps, water and snacks, because there are no shops in the two forests and the park bus ride is cool. Medicines for car sickness help on the ghat roads. Big suitcases eat the space, so leave them home if you can.
