Before sunrise
Twenty travellers meet at one gate at five. If some come in by train, the railway station has a prepaid auto counter, so they can reach the meeting point without bargaining. Getting round the city before the morning rush saves a lot of time on this route. Keep a light bag for the overnight stop in Vellore, with the big bags in the rear. Breakfast is at Bidadi, about 110 km out.

Thatte idli
Bidadi, about 110 km from Mysore, is the group's breakfast halt. The famous thatte idli is steamed on round plates, large and flat, and the joints line the old road towards Kumbalgodu. The mini bus comes off the expressway to reach them. Ordering on the bus beforehand speeds things up for twenty. The bigger places have restrooms and space for the mini bus to wait. Half an hour, a quick head count, and then the bus climbs onto NICE Road for the run round to Hosur Road.

Permit and tea
Hosur, about 175 km out, is the first Tamil Nadu town after the border. The driver shows the permit at the check post, and the group has tea at a highway hotel with space for the bus. Hosur is an industrial town where NH44 meets two other national highways, so traffic is thick. For a future trip, Thally nearby was called Little England by the British for its cool weather. Fifteen minutes.

Tea halt
Krishnagiri, about 225 km from Mysore, is a quick tea halt on the highway side. Mango fruit and pulp are sold by the road; the district leads Tamil Nadu in mangoes. Ramapuram nearby has a Rama temple about 500 years old, though there is no time today. The mini bus turns here from NH44 onto NH48. Fifteen minutes and a head count; Ambur is about 70 km on, a little under an hour and a half for the bus on this four lane road.

Group lunch
Ambur, about 295 km out, is the lunch stop, and many groups book the town's biryani ahead, with vegetarian meals for the rest. The biryani comes with dhalcha and raita. Ambur is a leather town with dozens of tanneries, and shoe shops line the road. The bus parks on the service road. Keep forty five minutes for twenty people, with a restroom break before boarding, then the last 50 km to Vellore and the night halt, about an hour away.

Night halt
Vellore, about 345 km from Mysore, is the overnight halt. Book a hotel that takes twenty together; the bus parks off the busy hospital roads. In the evening the group can walk the fort, built in 1566 over about 133 acres with double walls. The fort was also where the sepoy mutiny of 1806 broke out. Kanchipuram is about 70 km on, so the next morning starts after breakfast, with no need for another dawn alarm.

Temple town arrival
About nine hours of driving in all, over two days. The mini bus parks near the temple streets in Kanchipuram; the lanes are narrow, so the group walks with one meeting point and the bus waits. The town lies on the Vegavathi river, about 72 km from Chennai. Breakfast of sambar idli is the local habit. Summer highs average about 37.5 deg C, so start each day early and keep the middle of the afternoon for rest at the hotel.
Need a Mysore to Kanchipuram mini bus for a temple tour or a silk saree shopping trip with 20 people? We pick up at a hotel near Mysuru Palace or the Suburban bus stand, go round Bangalore on the NICE road and break the journey at Vellore. Book mini bus on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

Kanchipuram is about 415 km from Mysore, about 830 km for the round trip. The mini bus takes the expressway to Bidadi, NICE Road, Hosur Road and NH44 to Krishnagiri, then NH48 past Ambur and Vellore. With twenty people and normal halts, plan on about nine hours by mini bus, split with a night at Vellore.
Only if our driver drives through the night. We plan a halt in Vellore instead. Rate card figure: ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Yes. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
Yes. Tolls, parking, the Tamil Nadu permit and GST are billed at actual cost.
The 22 seater leaves room for saree boxes. See mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, it is around 65 km from Kanchipuram; extra km at the same rate.
Yes, but expect wet days in October and November, when most of the rain falls on this side. NH48 stays open; town lanes in Kanchipuram and Vellore can flood for a short while after heavy showers. Carry umbrellas, and keep a dry pair of slippers, since footwear is left outside temples.
For a group with elders we strongly suggest it. The first day is about seven hours with four halts, and the second is about an hour and a half. Elders rest in a proper bed, and the group reaches Kanchipuram fresh in the morning, before the heat.
