Pickup in Mysuru
We collect the group at 6 am from any address in Mysuru; the Urbania seats 8 to 16 with bags at the rear. On the return day, remember that shops and most restaurants in Mysore close before 10 pm, so any silk or sandalwood shopping needs a timely arrival. Today we take the Nanjangud highway towards Wayanad. Kollam is 545 km away, so the plan is two days with a night at Thrissur.
Tea and fuel
The Urbania pauses at Gundlupet, 60 km out, for tea and fuel. If the calendar says June, July or August, look across the fields: whole acres turn gold and orange with sunflowers and marigolds, and growers let you in for a picture in return for a few rupees, provided nothing is plucked. Fifteen minutes is the limit today. Elders should visit the toilet now, because the coming 25 km of forest permit no stopping at all.
Breakfast
Breakfast is in Sulthan Bathery, 115 km from Mysore and pleasantly cool at around 900 m. The town bazaar sells Wayanad pepper, cardamom, home grown coffee and tea, forest honey and bamboo craft, small presents that tuck easily into the Urbania's rear. Half an hour covers breakfast for twelve. From here the road climbs a little to Kalpetta and then tips over the edge of the plateau into the Thamarassery churam.
Ghat descent
Thamarassery, 180 km out, lies where the churam meets the plain. Jams on this ghat can last hours, so before the descent we hand round drinking water and snacks and check the live jam alerts shared through the Wayanad Churam Samrakshana Samithi app. Elders should keep tablets in their hand bag rather than the boot. The Urbania carries on without a halt, and Kozhikode is about 30 km further down the road.
Lunch
Lunch for the group is in Kozhikode, 210 km along. Since 2023 this city has held the title of India's first UNESCO City of Literature, and a statue of the travel writer S K Pottekkatt looks down SM Street, its crowded old shopping lane. Forty five minutes allows a relaxed meal. Afterwards the Urbania runs south on the coastal highway for about 120 km to Thrissur, where the group stays tonight.
Night halt
After 330 km the Urbania reaches Thrissur for the night. This is a good place for elders to enjoy a sadya, Kerala's festive vegetarian spread of rice and about twenty side dishes and sweets served on a plantain leaf, whether at dinner tonight or lunch on another day. We drop the group at the hotel door, and the van stays in its car park. Kollam is about 215 km away tomorrow.
Drive through
On the second morning the Urbania passes Kochi, 405 km from Mysore. Mattancherry Palace in old Kochi, besides its famous murals, displays an ivory palanquin, a royal howdah and ceremonial umbrellas, a cool and unhurried indoor visit that elders enjoy on a free day. This morning we only skirt the city. The van takes NH66 south, and Alleppey is roughly 55 km ahead, a little over an hour. Elders can doze on this stretch.
Tea halt
Alleppey, 460 km out, is a fifteen minute tea halt. This is the coir town of Kerala, and stacks of coconut fibre mats line the shopfronts on the main road; they are light, roll up small and make a practical souvenir that fits behind the last row. Elders will want the restroom here before the final leg. Kollam lies about 85 km further south on NH66. Tea comes quickly here.
Drop at your stay
The Urbania pulls into Kollam after roughly 11.5 to 12 hours of driving, split across two days. Ashtamudi's short neck clams became India's first fishery with Marine Stewardship Council approval in November 2014, so a clam dish is the local special to order. We set the group and bags down at the hotel entrance. For a hill outing later, Thenmala, the country's first planned ecotourism destination, lies about 66 km inland. Rest well tonight.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

Mysore to Kollam is about 545 km one way, about 1,090 km for the round trip. The Urbania goes through Gundlupet and Sulthan Bathery, down the Thamarassery churam to Kozhikode, along the coast to Thrissur for the night, then via Kochi and Alleppey. Driving time is about 11.5 to 12 hours over two days. The forest beyond Gundlupet is closed from 9 pm to 6 am.
We quote Kollam one way drops on request; the rate is ₹2 a km above a round trip.
For 8 or 9 people, the 10 seater. Ten to 13 going to Kollam fit the 12 or 13 seater. The 16 seater takes sixteen to Kollam. See every size on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Not in the fare: tolls on the 545 km road to Kollam, parking, permits and GST, receipts shown.
Over two days, yes. The Urbania reclines and we stop often.
If the driver drives after 10 pm, a night allowance is charged. The amount is in your quote.
Around Onam, in August or September, when the Nehru Trophy snake boat race fills Alappuzha and the whole coast is on holiday. The Urbania passes Alleppey on NH66 on day two, so we allow extra time then. December and January are also busy with holidaymakers. For a calm trip with elders, February and March are good choices.
Only before 9 pm. The forest stretch between Gundlupet and Sulthan Bathery, about 25 km through Bandipur and the Muthanga range, is closed to traffic from 9 pm to 6 am. On the return from Kollam, we plan to reach this stretch well before nine, which usually means a night halt at Thrissur or Kozhikode.
