Meeting point
Twenty people load fastest at one point, so pick a hall, the city bus stand or a hotel and gather by 5:15 am; the mini bus rolls at 5:30. Relatives who arrived the day before and want a quick look at Mysore should note that the zoo and Karanji lake shut on Tuesdays, while the palace is lit from 7 pm on Sundays and public holidays. We leave by Nanjangud and cut across to Chamarajanagar. Kanyakumari is about 655 km away, two driving days with Madurai in between.

Breakfast
An hour and a half out, at the 60 km mark, the group breaks for breakfast in Chamarajanagar. If the coordinator calls the order while the mini bus is still parking, twenty plates of idli, vada and coffee arrive together and half an hour is enough. Families who like small outings can remember the Suvarnavathi dam, about 16 km from this town, for a weekend from Mysore. The tank is filled here, the last diesel before the plains, and heads are counted.

Tea
In low gear the mini bus eases down the Dhimbam bends to the plains and, at the 140 km mark, stops in Sathyamangalam for fifteen minutes of tea. The town is built on the Bhavani, with paddy fields on both banks, and NH948 runs through it to Coimbatore. We leave that highway and head east instead, by Gobichettipalayam to Erode, about 65 km of level road, with the hills shrinking behind the back window.

Restroom halt
A quarter of an hour in Erode, after 205 km, gives everyone a restroom and tea. This is the cloth market of the region, where traders from across India buy cotton fabric. Twelve km away, Bhavani weaves the jamakkalam, rugs and blankets that hold a GI tag, a sensible buy for the house, and the hill temple of Chennimalai is about 30 km off. The mini bus waits on the highway side. Karur and lunch come after about 65 km.

Lunch
By the time the mini bus reaches Karur, after 270 km, everyone is ready for lunch, and a highway hotel can seat all twenty at once for forty five minutes. Coach bodies and cotton yarn are Karur's trades. The town lies low, about 101 m, and from April to June the afternoons are hot, so refill the bottles. Nerur village nearby keeps the Adhishtanam of Sadasiva Brahmendral, a stop some groups make on the way home. From Karur the mini bus takes NH44.

Tea
Afternoon tea is in Dindigul after 345 km, with the mini bus kept away from the crowded Kamarajar bus stand in the centre. The fort on the rock above the town is looked after by the ASI; a small fee takes you to the top, where the town lies spread to the east. Save that climb for the return. Dindigul padlocks, GI tagged, are a sturdy gift. The Madurai hotel is about 65 km ahead.

Night halt
Madurai ends day one, after 410 km, with the group in a single hotel that has room for the mini bus. The evening is a good time for shopping: Madurai is known for Sungudi cotton sarees, brass work and Tanjore paintings. Anyone going to the Meenakshi temple must hand in phones at the counter; darshan runs until about 10 pm. Breakfast early tomorrow, because Kanyakumari is still some 245 km south.

Morning tea
At Kovilpatti, 510 km out on NH44, the group breaks for tea on the second morning. A quarter of an hour suits twenty people. Ask for kadalai mittai, the crisp peanut and jaggery slab that Kovilpatti is famous for; it carries a GI tag and costs little, so buy a packet each. The centre is busy, with two bus stations and a railway station, so the mini bus waits on the highway. Tirunelveli is roughly 60 km further.

Lunch
Lunch on day two is in Tirunelveli, at the 570 km mark, with forty minutes for the group. Beside the Thamirabarani, the Nellaiappar temple spreads across about 14.5 acres, and a few people may want a quick darshan. Everyone else can buy halwa, the sweet this city is famous for. From here the mini bus keeps to NH44, and the cape is roughly 85 km away, a little under two hours.

Group drop
On the second afternoon, about 15.5 to 16 hours of driving after Mysore, the mini bus drops the group at its Kanyakumari hotel. Vegetarian South Indian meals are the norm here. The shore is lined with stalls selling conch shells, straw hats and coconut shell clips, cheap souvenirs for children. Anyone heading on by train or bus should use Nagercoil, the nearest big hub, while Thiruvananthapuram, about 85 km away, has the airport. The mini bus stays for local runs.
Need a Mysore to Kanyakumari mini bus for 15 to 25 people for the sunrise at the tip of India? Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin) is about 655 km from Mysuru via Sathyamangalam, Madurai and Tirunelveli. We have been running mini bus on rent in Mysore since 2009. For Kanyakumari we pick up from a hotel by the palace or a hotel on Hunsur Road. One mini bus, one driver who knows the halts.

The cape is about 655 km from Mysore by road, so the return totals close to 1,310 km. The mini bus spends its first day getting over the Dhimbam ghat and across the plains to Madurai, and its second running down NH44 by Kovilpatti and Tirunelveli. With halts, that is about 15.5 to 16 hours of driving altogether.
Madurai, after about 410 km. Day two is a shorter run to Kanyakumari.
No. The Tamil Nadu entry permit for a tourist vehicle is extra too. Tolls, parking and GST are added at actuals, with the receipts.
Yes, on request. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
The 25 seater, so everyone sits and the bags fit. See every size on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. On our Mysore card that is ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Yes, in some years. The Bannari Amman temple sits right on our road at the bottom of the Dhimbam ghat, and its Kundam festival, held in Panguni between March and April, brings huge crowds that slow every vehicle. We look up the date when you book and pass Bannari early in the morning. Kanyakumari itself is most crowded in December and January.
The bigger suitcases travel in the rear luggage space, and if your mini bus has a roof carrier, overflow bags go up there under a tarpaulin. Ask everyone to pack a separate small bag for the Madurai night, so nobody digs through the back at the hotel. Water, snacks and medicines stay by the seat. Tag each bag with a name and mobile number.
