Meeting point
For fifteen to twenty five people, pick one meeting point, a hotel on JLB Road or in Nazarbad, the railway station or a hall, and gather by 4:45 am. The mini bus leaves at 5. Anyone wanting Mysore pak or silk to take along should buy it the day before, since Mysore shops and most eateries close before 10 pm. We go south by Nanjangud and turn for Chamarajanagar. Gavi is about 525 km away, two days with a night at Kumily, so keep a small night bag apart.
Breakfast
By half past six the group is having breakfast in Chamarajanagar, 60 km from Mysore. If the coordinator places the order while the driver parks, twenty plates of idli and vada with coffee arrive together and half an hour is plenty. The chained stone carvings of the Gaurishvara temple at Yelandur, about 20 km towards Kollegal, are worth a separate trip someday. Diesel goes into the tank, heads are counted, and the mini bus starts up the forest road to Hasanur.
Tea
Down the ghat and past Bannari, the mini bus stops in Sathyamangalam after 140 km for fifteen minutes of tea and the restroom. The town lies on the Bhavani river, and wet paddy fields spread on both banks. Some 16 km west, the earthen Bhavanisagar dam, about 40 m high and opened in 1956, holds back the river. From here the group crosses the plains by Gobichettipalayam to Erode, about 65 km of level road.
Restroom halt
At Erode, after 205 km, the mini bus waits on NH544, the bypass, while twenty people use the restroom and drink tea. The district is hot and fairly dry, with most of its rain in October and November and the fiercest heat from March to June. Chennimalai's hill temple, around 30 km away, and the Kodiveri dam near Gobichettipalayam make good outings for a future trip. From here the road runs about 65 km south to Karur for lunch.
Lunch
Twenty people have lunch together at a highway hotel in Karur, after 270 km, with forty five minutes for the meal. Karur builds bus bodies and spins cotton, so towels from its mills are cheap. Up in the Kadavur hills near Pooncholai village, Ponnaniyar dam is a local picnic spot for another time. Fill water bottles before leaving; the next stretch to Dindigul, about 75 km on NH44, runs through dry, open country.
Tea
Afternoon tea is at Dindigul, 345 km out, with the mini bus parked away from the busy Kamarajar bus stand in the centre. The rock fort above the town is an ASI monument with a small entry fee; from the top you look east over Dindigul, a climb best saved for the return. Dindigul padlocks carry a GI tag and make a practical gift. From here the mini bus leaves NH44 and heads west to Theni.
Gateway to the hills
At Theni, 420 km from Mysore, the group gets twenty minutes for tea and Tamil snacks. The town lies in a valley where the Western Ghats begin, and Meghamalai, a green peak about 1,500 m high, rises in the same district. Suruli falls are about 56 km from Theni, near Cumbum, for another trip. The road now climbs to Kumily, so the coordinator should seat anyone prone to motion sickness in front.
Night halt
Day one ends on the Kerala border at Kumily, 480 km out, after the mini bus climbs the ghat from Cumbum into the Cardamom Hills. For twenty people we book a single lodge in advance, which is simple here because the town has plenty of homestays. Ask everyone to keep spice shopping for the return, when bags have more space; cardamom, pepper and tea are the buys. Dinner early, and the group is ready for the forest at first light.
Forest gate
The group reaches Gavi on the second morning, about 11.5 hours of driving after Mysore. Because the forest department lets in only a set number of vehicles a day, the mini bus has a pass booked for a fixed slot at the Vallakadavu check post, so the coordinator keeps everyone on time. Beyond the gate the road is narrow and elephants are often around, so the group stays aboard until the stop. Meals come with the forest package.

By road Gavi is about 525 km from Mysore, close to 1,050 km for the return. Day one takes the mini bus over the ghat, across the plains to Dindigul and Theni, and up the hill road to Kumily. Day two is the short, slow forest drive. Expect about 11.5 hours of driving in all.
The driver gets a night allowance when the drive goes late into the night. The quote lists it. ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night is the mini bus rate.
For Gavi, the 25 seater, with room for bags. Gavi in the 25 seater bills ₹43,200 for 1,200 km at ₹36/km, plus ₹2,800 allowance for the driver. The full size list is on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Sure. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
At Kumily. Gavi entry is in the morning, so a night at Kumily makes the timing easy.
No, they are separate. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
It can be crowded in March and April, when the Bannari Amman temple at the bottom of the Dhimbam ghat celebrates its Kundam festival in the month of Panguni. Lakhs of devotees come, and traffic through Bannari slows to a crawl. Tell us your dates when you book; if they clash, we leave Mysore earlier so the mini bus passes before the crowds.
Seniors take the front rows, and on day one we stop at Chamarajanagar, Sathyamangalam, Erode, Karur, Dindigul and Theni, so nobody sits more than about two hours. The night is in one place at Kumily. The forest drive to Gavi next morning is short, about 45 km, though slow. Elders should carry a shawl and their medicines in a hand bag.
