One gate
School and office groups of thirty to fifty board fastest at one gate, so the coach collects everyone at the college, the office or the railway station at 5 am. Teachers bringing students from outside Mysore for a city day first should avoid Tuesdays, when the zoo and Karanji lake are shut, and aim for a Sunday evening, when the palace lights come on at 7 pm. Suitcases ride in the hold. The coach heads out by Nanjangud for a two day, 525 km run with Kumily as the night stop.

Breakfast
Breakfast is at Chamarajanagar, 60 km out, where highway hotels can seat forty in two batches, about forty minutes for idli, vada and coffee. While the second batch eats, a few people can look at the Chamarajeshwara temple, whose gopura dates from 1825. Diesel goes in here, since there is no pump in the forest or on the ghat ahead. The coordinator counts heads before the coach moves towards Hasanur.

Tea after the ghat
Down the Dhimbam ghat a coach must crawl, bend after bend, 27 times. The forest department keeps heavy lorries, those on 12 wheels or more, off this ghat altogether, but buses are permitted, and regular services shuttle between Sathyamangalam and Mysore many times each day. Once the slope flattens at Bannari, the coach rolls into Sathyamangalam, 140 km from home, and the students get a quarter of an hour for tea and the restroom before the long plains drive.

Restroom halt
By mid morning the coach reaches Erode, 205 km out, and waits fifteen minutes on the bypass while the group uses the restroom. Turmeric and textiles fill this city's markets. Teachers looking for a useful buy for a school staff room can consider a Bhavani jamakkalam, the woven carpets and blankets from Bhavani, about 12 km away, which carry a GI tag; pick one up on the return, when there is space in the hold. Lunch is booked at Karur, about 65 km further south.

Lunch
The coach stops an hour at Karur, after 270 km, for lunch in two batches at a hotel used to big groups. For students, Karur is worth a look from the window: much of India's bus bodywork is done here. Three rivers, the Amaravathi, the Kaveri and the Noyyal, run past the town. The afternoons are hot from April to June, so refill water. After lunch the coach takes NH44 to Dindigul.

Tea
Afternoon tea is at Dindigul, 345 km from Mysore. The coach stays on the main road, since the lanes and village roads around town are too tight for a full size bus. If your trip falls in January or February, expect crowds for the Kottai Mariamman festival. Dindigul's biryani is famous, but a tea break is quicker for forty people. Next the coach turns west for Theni, keeping to the bigger roads, and the hills begin to show on the horizon.

Gateway to the hills
Theni, 420 km out, is the last plains town before the climb, a valley town at the foot of the Western Ghats. Twenty minutes lets forty people use the restroom and have tea. Theni summers are hot, averaging about 39.5 deg C, so the coach waits in shade where possible. The Vaigai dam, about 111 ft high near Andipatti, is a good stop for students on the return. From here the coach climbs to Kumily.

Night halt
The coach climbs from Cumbum to Kumily, 480 km from Mysore, and the students spend the night in this Kerala border town of the Cardamom Hills. For forty, we hold rooms well before the date and check that the hotel has space to park a coach. The main street is lined with spice and tea shops, fine for a short walk with the teachers. Lights out early, because the group leaves for Gavi soon after breakfast.

Forest road
On day two the coach finishes the trip to Gavi, about 13 hours of driving in all from Mysore. The forest road is slim and winding, and a long vehicle moves along it very slowly. Elephants are often seen beside it, so students stay seated with windows closed until the driver stops. Lunch is a simple Kerala meal arranged with the forest package. Teachers should do a head count at every halt, and each student should carry water and a cap.

It is possible. Tension over sharing Kaveri water between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu sometimes leads to protests or a bandh in Mysore, and buses heading for Tamil Nadu can be stopped at the city edge. We keep track of the news on the evening before the trip, and if a bandh is announced, we agree a new start with the teachers or group leader.
A small bag on the seat with clothes for the Kumily night, medicines, a water bottle, a cap and a light jacket for the hills. The main bag rides in the hold and comes out only at Kumily. Put a name and phone number on every bag, and give the teacher a list of who carries which medicines.
