Start from Mysore
Pickup is at five from one or two points at most. Breakfast in Mysore usually means idli in a bowl of hot sambar, bisi bele bath or kesari bath, but at this hour the group eats on the road instead. The tank is filled the evening before, so the mini bus drives straight out. The trip takes about eight and a half hours with halts, the last hour on a hill road. Bags go in the rear.
Breakfast
For breakfast the group comes off the expressway at Channapatna and eats at a roomy place on the old highway that can serve twenty at once. With ten spare minutes, look into the government Lacquerware Craft Complex, where 32 turning lathes shape the toys. The taluk around also grows coconut and ragi. Take a head count before boarding, then the expressway carries on to NICE Road and the turn for Hosur.
Permit and tea
Tamil Nadu starts near Hosur, where the mini bus halts for the border tax; cameras now read number plates to check payment. The group has tea meanwhile in a hotel yard with room for the bus. Hosur is a crossroads of national highways, with NH44 meeting two others, so trucks are thick on the road. Thally, a cool village nearby that the British called Little England, makes a nice outing on a free day. Fifteen minutes.
Tea halt
Krishnagiri is the tea halt before lunch, on the highway side. The town holds a mango exhibition every year, and around Santhur village there are about 150 mango nurseries. The government museum on Gandhi Road, open since 1993, suits a curious group on the way home. The mini bus turns from NH44 onto NH48 here. Fifteen minutes and a head count. Mango sellers set up along this stretch of highway in the fruit months.
Midday meal stop
Lunch is at Vaniyambadi; keep about forty five minutes. Pick a hotel with a yard so the bus pulls off the highway and twenty people can step down safely. Order Vaniyambadi biryani for those who eat meat and vegetarian meals for the others. Leather is the town's trade, with tanneries and export units, and factory shops sell bags and footwear. Vellore lies about 67 km east, but here the mini bus turns south for the hills. Count heads before the turn.
Tea before the climb
Alangayam is the tea halt before the climb, a small hill ringed town in Tirupathur district. Twenty people are in and out quickly, and tea stalls and fuel pumps line the road. The air is milder here than on the highway. From Alangayam the Javadhu ghat climbs about 40 km to Jamunamarathur, so the group should use the restroom now and settle anyone who gets car sick near the front.
You are here
The mini bus reaches Jamunamarathur about eight and a half hours after Mysore. The group gets down in the village, and the bus parks nearby. Javadhu is a quiet hill range south of Vaniyambadi, with small villages and no large hotels, so book basic lodges in advance or stay in Vaniyambadi below. Food is simple local meals; tell the cook the head count early. For school groups, teachers count heads at the door.
Is a Mysore to Javadhu Hills mini bus right for a quiet hill trip with a group too big for a van? The group stays together all the way. Tejas Tours & Travels has run mini bus on rent in Mysore since 2009. Start from any point in Mysuru: home, hotel, railway station or bus stand.

There and back is roughly 710 km. The km rate covers fuel and our driver. Javadhu Hills gets both AC and non-AC mini buses. Add ₹600 to ₹700 a day to the driver, and GST, tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit and parking as per receipts. Javadhu Hills is billed 3 days at 900 km on our 300 km a day minimum. That leaves about 190 km for sightseeing around Javadhu Hills. A one way drop is quoted on request.

Javadhu Hills with 14 to 16? Take the 16 seater mini bus. Around 20: 20 seater mini bus or 21 seater mini bus. 25 or fewer: 25 seater mini bus. For Javadhu Hills with over 25, a bus costs less per head.

The Javadhu Hills, at Jamunamarathur, are about 355 km from Mysore, so about 710 km there and back. The mini bus runs on the expressway past Channapatna, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri, NH48 to Vaniyambadi and the ghat from Alangayam. With twenty people, plan on about eight and a half hours by mini bus.
Night allowance on the Javadhu Hills run applies after 10 pm: ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
The 25 seater: everyone sits and the bags fit. Sizes are on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Javadhu Hills: GST, tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit and parking are extra at actual cost.
One way to Javadhu Hills, 355 km, is priced on request at ₹2 a km over the return rate.
Near your hotel, usually in the mini bus or a drivers' room. The allowance covers his food and stay.
Yes. The ghat from Alangayam takes a mini bus, but most rain falls from October to December and the bends get slippery. The driver keeps to daylight and a low gear, and we leave Mysore early so the climb is done by mid afternoon. Light rain makes the hills greener.
Stays in the Javadhu Hills are basic lodges with few rooms, so book well ahead or split the group. Many groups sleep in Vaniyambadi, about 55 km below, and come up for the day. Carry torches, warm layers and bedsheets if you take the simple lodges.
