Pickup for elders
The Urbania collects elders at their door at 6 am, and the driver loads the bags and settles them with cushions. Kannur is about 190 km away, four calm hours with halts. If the family returns to Mysore during Dasara, the palace is lit every night of the festival from 7 pm to 10 pm, a lovely sight for elders on the way home. The van leaves on the Hunsur road from the ring road.

Soft breakfast
Hunsur's modest hotels are calm at this hour, which suits elders who want soft idli and a hot coffee without fuss. The Urbania parks right at the entrance, and twenty minutes covers breakfast, tablets and the restroom. A little earlier, near Bilikere, the van passed the road for Gommatagiri, a small Jain hill with a Bahubali statue, an easy half day for elders some other time. From Hunsur the Urbania heads south west for Gonikoppal and Virajpet.

Through Gonikoppal
The Urbania rolls through Gonikoppal without stopping, so elders can rest. This bustling market town serves all of south Kodagu, and coffee and pepper from its estates fill the shops. Elders interested in temples might note Baadagarakeri close by, whose Mrutyunjaya shrine is described as the only one of its kind in the south, a stop for the way home. The tea halt comes in Virajpet, about 20 km on.

Tea before the ghat
In Virajpet, the final Kodagu town before Kerala, the Urbania halts twenty minutes for tea and a comfortable restroom ahead of the ghat. St Anne's church, built in 1792 with a pointed Gothic spire, stands above the town. Mornings are pleasant, but April and May afternoons pass 34 C. From here the Makutta ghat twists down to Iritty, and our driver goes gently so elders are not tossed on the bends.

Rest at Iritty
Iritty, beside the Bavali river, is the first Kerala town after the descent, and elders can rest here for twenty minutes with tea and a restroom. The town works as a hub, roughly the same distance from Kannur, Thalassery, Mahe, Taliparamba and Virajpet. If an elder plans to fly home later, the Mattannur airport is only about 20 km away. The Urbania has 45 km left to Kannur. The air is warm and damp from here, so shawls can come off.

Drop at the door
In Kannur the Urbania stops at the door of the hotel or the family home, so elders do not walk through traffic. Malabar dishes such as ghee rice and soft pathiri suit most older stomachs, while the rest of the family can try Thalassery style biryani. Kannur's handloom centres sell good cotton cloth if elders enjoy fabric shopping. If anyone prefers not to ride back, Kannur station or the airport at Mattannur, about 26 km away, make the return simple.

Yes, the Malabar coast is damp for most of the year. Elders are most comfortable from November to February, when the air dries a little and evenings cool down. April and May feel hot and heavy. In the monsoon the descent into Kerala can be slow, and the Virajpet road has closed for short spells after landslips.
They can. The Makutta stretch between Virajpet and Iritty means roughly half an hour of curves, and the Urbania's wide seats and smooth ride help a lot. Our driver keeps the speed low, and we halt at Virajpet before the bends and at Iritty after them. Elders prone to motion sickness should eat lightly and sit up front.
