Start from Mysore
Pickup is at half past five from your home or the railway station, with diesel filled before we reach you. Load bags first, then seat elders near the door. If your return day is a Tuesday and the children want the zoo or Karanji lake, note that both are closed that day, so plan it for another morning. Gingee is about seven and a half hours away by tempo traveller. Keep caps and water for everyone.
Breakfast
Breakfast is at Channapatna, about 85 km out, on the old highway beside the expressway exit. The toy shops sell lacquered spinning tops, rattles and puzzles, and some workshops let children watch the turning and the polishing. Allow twenty five minutes for a meal and one shop. The town sits on the Kanva river. Back on the expressway, the van heads for the ring road that leads round to Hosur Road.
Into Tamil Nadu
Fifteen minutes near Hosur, just inside Tamil Nadu, for tea and the restroom while the driver pays the border tax. Hosur stands at about 880 m, and January nights only drop to about 17 deg C, so it is pleasant most of the year. Rose farms surround the town, and flower sellers are common by the road. From here NH44 runs on to Krishnagiri, a little under an hour away.
Fruit stop
At Krishnagiri the van turns off NH44 onto NH77, the road to Tiruvannamalai. A short fruit stop works well here; in season the stalls sell Alphonso and Totapuri, and bottled pulp the rest of the year. Krishnagiri also has a children's park at the KRP dam boat house, a short way from the bus stand, if the return drive has time. Ten minutes, then the quieter road east. Hand round water before the next stretch.
Stretch and tea
Chengam is the halfway town of the Tiruvannamalai highway, set in a pass between the Javadhu range and the Chennakesava hills; children can look for the Javadhu slopes out of the left windows. Fifteen minutes for tea, toilets and a stretch. Every May the Perumal temple here holds a ten day festival, and the town turns busy. Older people may stay seated in the cool van. Roughly 35 km remain.
Lunch
Lunch is at Tiruvannamalai, around 345 km from Mysore, a town full of vegetarian eating places. Arunachala, the sacred hill, stands over it; pilgrims walk the 14 km Girivalam path round its base, which is lit after dark and has toilets along it. Full moon days bring vast crowds, so check the calendar before the trip. Forty five minutes, then about 40 km to Gingee. Children can rest in the shade after lunch.
Arrival
Seven and a half hours or so after leaving home, the van stops at the fort ticket counter and the family gets down; the van waits nearby. The Archaeological Survey of India maintains the fort, open roughly nine to five. Keep water and snacks in closed bags, because monkeys pester anyone with food. Gingee lies close to Puducherry and about 160 km from Chennai, so many families continue to the coast.

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. 👍

Gingee Fort is about 385 km from Mysore, about 770 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller goes by the expressway past Channapatna, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri, then NH77 through Chengam and Tiruvannamalai. With breakfast, lunch and tea halts, plan on about seven and a half hours by tempo traveller.
Yes, on the Gingee trip parking, tolls, GST and the Tamil Nadu permit are added at actual, with every receipt.
Leave by 5:30 am. Children sleep through the first part. With the halts on this page you reach Gingee Fort in around 8 to 8.5 hours.
The 16 seater, with space for bags. The full size list is on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Night allowance on the Gingee Fort run applies after 10 pm: ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
One way to Gingee Fort, 385 km, is priced on request at ₹2 a km over the return rate.
Yes, if you pass on a full moon day. Lakhs of pilgrims walk round the Arunachala hill, and the roads into Tiruvannamalai jam. In November or December, during Karthigai Deepam, the crowds are the biggest of the year. Pick another date, or let us route round the town.
Hold small children's hands on the steps, which are steep and uneven. Carry food in closed bags, as monkeys grab snacks. Caps, water and sunscreen are a must; the rock heats up fast after ten. Start early, and let tired children rest with an adult at the lower level.
