Start from Mysore
We come to your home or the railway station and start by half past five. Older guests take the front captain seats. Winter, from November to February, is the gentlest season for this trip, and the city itself has seen mornings as cold as 7.7 C, so a shawl is useful at dawn. The drive is about seven and a half hours with halts, and the last stretch is a hill road. Bags go in the rear boot.
Breakfast
Channapatna, about 85 km out, is where the Urbania stops for breakfast, parking at the door of a hotel on the old highway so older guests walk only a few steps. The town sits at about 739 m on the Kanva river. Artisan cooperative shops sell the lacquer toys straight from the makers, a short browse after breakfast. Twenty five minutes, then the expressway and NICE Road towards Hosur. The driver checks tyre pressure here.
Border check
Crossing the state line near Hosur, the Urbania halts while the driver settles the Tamil Nadu permit, and older guests use the clean restroom of a highway hotel with tea. Hosur's landmark is the hill temple of Chandra Choodeswarar above the town, and closer to the road, on the edge of the Sanamavu woods, a Dakshina Tirupati shrine draws people for a quick darshan. A quarter of an hour, then about 55 km on NH44 to Krishnagiri.
Short break
At Krishnagiri the Urbania takes NH48, leaving the Salem highway. Older guests can stay seated with the AC running while others buy mangoes or a box of Arcot makkan peda, the town's sweet. Avathanapatti lake and its small park lie about 5 km from town on the highway side, a calm halt for the return drive. Lunch at Vaniyambadi is about an hour and a half ahead. The driver uses the pause to check water and tyres.
Easy lunch stop
Lunch is at Vaniyambadi, about 300 km from Mysore. The biryani is famous, and plain vegetarian meals suit older guests. The town is a leather centre with factory shops for gifts. Yelagiri hill station is only about 20 km away, a thought for another trip. March to May is very hot here, so the van keeps the AC on while you eat. Forty minutes, then the turn south for the hills.
Through Alangayam
The Urbania passes through Alangayam, a small Tirupathur district town about 18 km from Vaniyambadi, with tea stalls and fuel pumps if a halt is needed. The hills around keep it mild. Here the ghat begins, about 40 km of bends to Jamunamarathur, and the Urbania's high roof and wide door make it easy for older guests to step out if anyone feels unwell. The driver takes the bends slowly.
Arrival and drop
About seven and a half hours from Mysore in the Urbania. At Jamunamarathur the sliding door makes getting off quick for seniors, and the van parks close by. The Javadhu range meets the Chennakesava hills at the Chengam pass, and the villages are small and quiet. Stays are basic lodges; older guests may prefer a hotel in Vaniyambadi below and a day trip up. Order simple local meals ahead. Mornings in the hills can be misty.

We arrange Force Urbania on rent in Mysore with a driver, at one rate for every size. We pick up anywhere in Mysuru: a palace-side hotel, the railway station, the bus stand or Mandakalli airport.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

The Javadhu Hills, at Jamunamarathur, are about 355 km from Mysore, or about 710 km for the round trip. The Urbania takes the expressway past Channapatna, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri and NH48 to Vaniyambadi, then the ghat from Alangayam. Plan on about seven and a half hours by Urbania.
On request, yes. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
No, the km rate leaves out the Tamil Nadu permit, parking, tolls and GST; these are added at cost.
The 12 seater, so everyone gets a seat and there is space for bags. The full size list is on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Yes. It is about 40 km beyond Javadhu Hills on this route. Keep 1 hour. Extra km over the billed km are charged at the same rate.
Javadhu Hills: past 10 pm the driver's night bata is added and listed in your quote.
November to February. The plains are cooler then, and the hills are green after the rains, which fall mostly from October to December. March to May is very hot below, at Vaniyambadi and Krishnagiri, so avoid those months with seniors. Evenings in the hills are cool all year.
Often yes. Stays in the hills are basic lodges, while Vaniyambadi below has more choice. The Urbania can take seniors up for the day and bring them down by evening, about 55 km each way through Alangayam. Tell us at booking and we plan the days that way.
