Group pickup
A quarter to six, one agreed doorstep in Mysuru, and the whole family climbs in; the tempo traveller seats 9 to 18, with suitcases stacked behind the last row. Travelling during Dasara, which lands in September or October? The city then fills with crowds for ten days and police divert traffic on every exit, so we set off a little earlier and glance at the advisory. Our road out is the Nanjangud highway. Allow about six hours for the 255 km to Guruvayur, including meals.
Breakfast and fuel
Breakfast waits at Gundlupet, sixty km along, once Nanjangud is behind us. Late August and September turn this small town into a flower depot, since lorry loads of its marigolds leave for Kerala's Onam markets, the very state you are heading into. Twenty five minutes is enough for a dozen people to eat at the simple roadside places. While you eat, the driver fills the tank; there is no pump anywhere in the forest that follows.
Through the forest
Back in 1931 this was a modest game park of 90 sq km, created by the Maharaja of Mysore. Bandipur has since grown into a big tiger reserve that merges with Mudumalai and Wayanad without any break in the trees. The van keeps rolling, because the rules allow no halt on this highway. Ask the children to watch for elephants and gaur on the left. Keep water bottles in the cabin, as the luggage area stays shut until Gudalur.
Tea halt
Gudalur, 110 km from home, is the tea halt. Until 1877 the area was counted as part of Malabar, so at the tea stalls Malayalam is heard almost as often as Tamil. This is also where our road parts from the Ooty traffic. The van heads south west instead, down the Nadukani churam at Vazhikkadavu, roughly 48 km to Nilambur in Kerala. Use the toilets during the fifteen minute halt, and give the front seats to anyone who dislikes bends.
Lunch
Lunch is in Nilambur, 165 km along. Right beside Conolly's Plot the Kerala Forest Research Institute keeps a Teak Museum, opened in 1995 and said to be the first such museum anywhere; youngsters who like timber, tools and old trees find it absorbing. Forty minutes covers the meal for the group, or allow an extra hour if the museum appeals. The temple town is still around 90 km ahead across the plain.
Restroom halt
Perinthalmanna, at 205 km, is a crowded market town on the Malabar plain, and Guruvayur lies roughly 50 km further on. A ten minute toilet stop is possible if anyone needs it, though the centre crawls at busy hours and we prefer to keep moving. Use the time on board to sort the temple clothes and pooja items into the small bags. That way nobody has to dig through suitcases at the lodge.
Arrival at Guruvayur
Six hours or so after leaving Mysore the tempo traveller pulls up at your lodge in Guruvayur. The lanes round the shrine are for pedestrians, so the van waits in a nearby parking area, and the driver remains on call for the journey home. The biggest crowds of the temple year come with Vrishchika Ekadashi; if your visit coincides, reserve rooms well ahead. Thrissur lies only about 26 km away should the family wish to continue.

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. 👍

It is about 255 km from Mysore to Guruvayur, about 510 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller goes by Gundlupet and Bandipur to Gudalur, then down the Nadukani ghat to Nilambur and across the plain by Perinthalmanna. With breakfast, tea and lunch, plan on about six hours. The Bandipur forest road shuts from 9 pm to 6 am.
The 12 seater. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore. Everyone sits with bags at the back.
No, those are separate. The 12 seater hire for two days, 600 km, is ₹15,600 and our driver bata for both days is ₹1,200. Then tolls, Kerala entry tax, parking and GST.
Yes. It is roughly 3 km from the temple. Morning is the best time.
Rarely, because the van must clear Bandipur before 9 pm. If your plan keeps the driver out late at night, his night bata is added as per the card. Rate card figure: ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
We can, on request. A one way van is quoted at the return rate with ₹2 a km.
Vrishchika Ekadashi, the special Ekadashi of the Guruvayur temple year, draws the biggest crowds, and rooms fill early. Weekends and school holidays are busy too. If your group wants a calmer darshan, choose a weekday outside the festival and reach the lodge by afternoon. We plan the van's timings once you confirm the date.
For two or three nights, one medium bag per person and a small temple bag fit behind the last row, even with all seats taken. Keep dhotis, saris and pooja items in the small bags so they are easy to reach at the lodge. If elders need folding chairs or wheelchairs, tell us when you book.
