Home pickup
The Urbania reaches your gate at six. For guests staying near the palace, the visitor gate on the south side is the Varaha gate, an easy landmark for pickup. Elders take the captain seats. We plan short driving days, with Vellore as the night halt, so no single day is long. Bags go in the rear boot, one per person. The first stop is breakfast at Bidadi, a little over two hours away.

Breakfast
Bidadi, about 110 km out, is the breakfast halt before the toll ring. The Urbania pulls up at the door and elders walk only a few steps. Thatte idli is soft and easy to eat. For many years this town was the standard breakfast stop on the old Mysore road, and the eateries are still on that stretch, reached by the exit. Twenty five minutes, with restrooms, then onto NICE Road.

Border check
At Hosur, about 175 km from Mysore, the Urbania enters Tamil Nadu. The driver clears the permit at the check post, where cameras now read the number plate, while elders use a clean highway hotel. Hosur gets rain from both monsoons, so the road can be wet in any season. Its hill temple of Shiva has a golden chariot, the only one of its kind in north Tamil Nadu. Fifteen minutes, then on.

Short break
Krishnagiri, about 225 km out, is a short break for those who want to stretch; elders can stay seated with the AC on. The town is ringed by rocky hills. A Jain tirth, Shree Parshwa Padmavathi Shaktipeet, stands close to the highway near the town, a calm stop for anyone interested. In season, mango stalls line the road. Here the Urbania leaves NH44 and turns east onto NH48 for Vellore.

Calm lunch
Ambur, about 295 km from Mysore, is the lunch halt. Biryani is the town's pride, but plain meals suit elders better on a travel day. The driver rests too. Ambur sits roughly midway between the two big cities on this highway, so the hotels are used to travellers and serve quickly. Most of the year's rain falls here in October and November. Forty five minutes, then Vellore and the night's rest, about 50 km on.

Night halt
Vellore, about 345 km out, is the night halt. Choose a hotel with a lift for elders; there are plenty near the hospital area. If anyone wants a short evening outing, the Jalakandeswarar temple inside the old fort is built in the Vijayanagara style and is flat to walk. The fort museum keeps morning and afternoon hours only. Next morning the Urbania covers the last 70 km to Kanchipuram in about an hour and a half.

Drop near the hotel
The drive totals about eight and a half hours over two days. The Urbania drops elders close to the hotel door in Kanchipuram, a town of narrow old lanes on the Vegavathi river, about 72 km from Chennai. For the next morning's breakfast, soft idli soaked in sambar is the local way and easy on elders. The air is humid all year, so carry water and a small towel. Short auto rides in town need the fare agreed first.

Kanchipuram is about 415 km from Mysore, so about 830 km for the round trip. The Urbania goes by the expressway to Bidadi, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri and NH48 past Ambur and Vellore. Plan on about eight and a half hours by Urbania, split over two days with a night at Vellore.
Tolls, parking, the permit and GST.
Kanchipuram suits the 10 or 12 seater. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Yes, with short walks; the van drops close where possible.
Yes, on request. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
Only for night driving. Rate card figure: ₹700 a night.
Yes. That part of NH44 is being widened from four lanes to six, so expect work zones and diversions. The Urbania keeps a steady pace, and the halts at Hosur and Krishnagiri give elders a break on either side. After Krishnagiri, NH48 to Vellore and Kanchipuram is a good four lane road.
Yes, that is why we split it. The first day ends at Vellore after about seven hours with four halts, and the second day is only about an hour and a half to Kanchipuram. Elders get a full night in a hotel and reach the temples fresh. Captain seats and AC help throughout.
