Pickup at your door
At five the driver is at your house, a hotel or Mysore Junction, and the car heads out on the expressway. Kanchipuram is about 415 km away, roughly seven and a half hours with stops, so you arrive by mid afternoon with time to rest. If you plan to buy sandalwood oil or incense to take as offerings, the Government Sandalwood Oil Factory in Ashokapuram is the place, but keep that for the drive home. Four people with overnight bags fit a sedan comfortably.
Breakfast
Bidadi, about 110 km out, is where the car stops for breakfast. The town's speciality is the thatte idli, a wide flat idli made on a plate, eaten with butter and chutney. The expressway passes outside town, so the driver comes off at the exit and parks on the old road where the joints are. Twenty minutes for four people. Next comes NICE Road, the tolled ring that brings the car to Hosur Road without touching the city centre.
Border halt
Hosur, about 175 km from Mysore, is the first town on the Tamil Nadu side. A check post at the border near Zuzuvadi collects road tax from outside vehicles, and the driver sorts the permit in a few minutes while you buy tea. The district grows roses on a big scale, and flower sellers line some stretches. If anyone in the car is keen on history, C. Rajagopalachari was born at Thorapalli nearby. Krishnagiri is about 50 km on.
Turn for NH48
Krishnagiri, about 225 km out, is where the car swings off NH44 and onto NH48, the road that runs on to Vellore and Kanchipuram. An old fort from the Vijayanagara days sits on the hill above town. Mango stalls appear along the highway in season, and a sweet called Arcot makkan peda is a local favourite worth a box for the car. Stop ten minutes if you like, otherwise roll on. Lunch at Ambur is about 70 km ahead.
Biryani lunch
Ambur, about 295 km from Mysore on the Palar river, is the lunch stop. Its biryani has a name across the south, and plain vegetarian meals are just as easy to order. The town makes leather, and roadside shops sell shoes and belts if someone wants a quick look. Half an hour is enough for four. Vaniyambadi, the other biryani town, is about 16 km back towards Krishnagiri. Kanchipuram is about 120 km ahead, roughly two and a half hours.
Tea halt
Vellore is about 345 km out and makes a good tea halt for a car that is going on the same day. The fort of 1566, with its double walls and broad moat, stands right in town if you want ten minutes of photos from the road. Katpadi station lies to the north of the city. In summer Vellore is one of the hottest towns on this road, so refill water here. Kanchipuram is about 70 km further, a little over an hour.
Drop at your hotel
Allow about 8.5 to 9 hours from Mysore with the halts. Kanchipuram stands on the Vegavathi river, about 72 km south west of Chennai. The driver drops you at the hotel and parks; the old town lanes are narrow, so for short hops inside town autos are easier, and it pays to agree the fare first. For breakfast the next morning, try idli served swimming in sambar, the way the town likes it. Days are hot and humid, so plan visits for the early morning.
Need a Mysore to Kanchipuram cab for a family temple visit or saree shopping? A car takes the NICE road and NH48 quickly and can reach in one long day. Kanchipuram pickup from home, a Mysuru hotel or the airport. Get a Mysore to Kanchipuram taxi through cab rental in Mysore.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Kanchipuram is about 415 km from Mysore, so about 830 km there and back. The cab takes the expressway to Bidadi, NICE Road round the city to Hosur, NH44 to Krishnagiri and NH48 through Ambur and Vellore. Plan on about seven and a half hours by car with breakfast, lunch and two short halts.
Innova Crysta. See cab rental in Mysore.
Tolls on the 415 km Kanchipuram road, parking, permits and GST come extra, at actual.
One way to Kanchipuram, 415 km, is priced on request at ₹2 a km over the return rate.
Night allowance on the Kanchipuram run applies after 10 pm: ₹400 a night.
Yes, about 75 km more; extra km at the car rate.
Yes. From April to July the average high is about 37.5 deg C, and the town is humid all year. Every cab is AC, but temple courtyards are open and the stone floors get hot, so plan visits early in the morning and late in the afternoon. October to February is the most comfortable time to go.
Most can, since the halts at Bidadi, Hosur, Ambur and Vellore keep each stretch short. For elders who tire easily, we split it with a night at Vellore and reach Kanchipuram the next morning, fresh for the temples. The front seat and a neck pillow help on the long stretch.
