Pickup at your door
The tempo traveller comes for the family at 5:30 am, at your home, a hotel or Mysore Junction, and the twelve of you settle in with one overnight bag per family kept near the door. The evening before, we glance at the news, because the Kaveri water dispute with Tamil Nadu now and then brings demonstrations or a bandh to Mysore; if that happens, we fix a new start with you. The van goes down NH766 towards Nanjangud and turns for Chamarajanagar. Kanyakumari is two days and about 655 km away.
Breakfast
Breakfast for the group is at Chamarajanagar, 60 km on, and half an hour lets twelve people eat idli and vada and drink their coffee without rushing. Trains from Mysore also stop here, and the district is called Silk City along with Kollegal, so you will notice saree shops on the main road. Fill every water bottle and send the children to the restroom, because the forest and the ghat ahead have nowhere good to stop for about two hours. The driver fills diesel before leaving.
Tea after the ghat
Coming off the last of the hairpins, the van passes Bannari, where the temple of Bannari Amman, the goddess of rain, stands beside the road. A short way on is Sathyamangalam, 140 km from Mysore, and the family gets fifteen minutes for tea. This is a busy bus town, with services through the day to Erode, Coimbatore and back to Mysore. Let the children run about a little here, since the next five hours are long, straight road on the plains.
Tea and restroom
In Erode, 205 km from Mysore, the van stops a quarter of an hour. Handloom and knitwear mills make it a cloth town, and towels or bed covers cost little. Just outside the city lies the Vellode bird sanctuary, and in town is the house where Periyar lived, now a memorial; both need more time than we have on a two day run. A plate of idli is cheap if anyone is hungry. Lunch is at Karur, about 65 km south.
Lunch
Karur, 270 km into the trip, is where twelve hungry people sit down for lunch; we allow forty five minutes. The Amaravathi comes down to meet the Kaveri plains here, and in the dry season its bed is a broad strip of sand. You will drive past rows of half finished bus bodies, because Karur builds coaches for much of the country. The mills also sell bed linen at fair prices. After lunch the van turns south on NH44 for Dindigul.
Tea
At Dindigul, 345 km out, the family takes fifteen minutes for tea. On the rock above town stands the fort that Muthu Krishnappa Nayakar of Madurai built in 1605; the view from the top is wide, but keep the climb for a return day. Dindigul is a leather town and makes padlocks sold everywhere in India. Its vegetable market is said to be the biggest in Tamil Nadu. The night halt at Madurai is about 65 km ahead.
Night halt
Madurai, 410 km from Mysore, is where the van stops for the night, at one hotel with parking. After dinner, the family can visit the Meenakshi temple, open until about 10 pm; leave phones at the counter. Inside, the golden lotus tank is a pleasant place to sit after darshan. For dinner, try kothu parotta, the city's chopped parotta dish. Tomorrow's drive to Kanyakumari is about 245 km, so set an alarm for an early breakfast.
Morning tea
On the second morning, after Virudhunagar, the van pulls in at Kovilpatti, 510 km from Mysore on NH44. Fifteen minutes is enough for tea and for buying kadalai mittai, the GI tagged peanut candy that children love. The town has two small rock cut temples, and the bigger rock temples of Kalugumalai lie off the highway on the Sankarankovil road. Tirunelveli is about 60 km on, and the cape about 145 km.
Lunch
Lunch is at Tirunelveli, 570 km out, with forty minutes for the family. The city lives off the Thamirabarani, its main water source, and is known for halwa made of wheat flour, sugar and ghee; buy a box for the evening. Bird lovers can note the Koonthankulam sanctuary near the city for the drive home. From here NH44 runs south, and Kanyakumari is about 85 km away, roughly two hours in the van.
Hotel drop
About 15.5 to 16 hours of driving over two days brings the tempo traveller to Kanyakumari on the second afternoon, and the family is dropped at one hotel. Simple South Indian vegetarian meals are easy to find in town. Children enjoy the shell stalls on the shore, selling conch shells, straw hats and coconut shell clips. Nagercoil, the nearest big town, has the main bus and train links. On the first evening, walk to the beach at Vivekanandapuram to watch the sun go down.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

Mysore to the cape is about 655 km by road, close to 1,310 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller does it in two stages: forest, ghat and plains to a Madurai hotel on the first day, then NH44 south past Kovilpatti and Tirunelveli on the second. In all, expect about 15.5 to 16 hours of driving with halts.
The 16 seater; two seats stay free for bags. All sizes are on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Only late night driving carries a driver night allowance. Expect ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Through Sathyamangalam and Erode it is roughly 655 km. Via Bangalore it is over 800.
Yes, quoted when you ask. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
GST is extra, and so are tolls and parking. You get the receipts. The Tamil Nadu entry permit is charged separately.
Yes, from October to December the plains around Madurai and Tirunelveli get most of their yearly rain. Heavy showers slow NH44 and can cut a day's sightseeing short, though the road stays open. We add an hour to the plan in those months. January to March is drier, and the sea at the cape is calmer for families.
They usually do fine. The one long gap is right after breakfast, when the van spends about two hours in the Hasanur forest and on the Dhimbam bends, so a light meal and a window seat help. From Sathyamangalam on, stops come every hour or so. The second day from Madurai is only about five hours. Pack snacks, a spare set of clothes and a small toy in the hand bag.
