Pickup for the bus
Kottayam is an eleven hour day for a full coach, so the wheels turn at 5 am. Pick one gathering place for all forty, a palace side hotel or the bus stand, and send the name list the evening before. Visitors from the north will find Kannada spoken everywhere in Mysore and little Hindi off the tourist trail; our driver does the talking at halts. Bags go in the hold, and the bus takes the Nanjangud road out of the city.
Last stop before the reserve
Gundlupet, 60 km out, is the last stop before the reserve, and forty people need fifteen minutes for tea and restrooms. The bus is fuelled here. Bandipur National Park is about 17 km away, which is why the town is called the Land of Tigers. On the forest stretch that follows, nobody gets off and the bus does not halt, as fines and seizures have been reported. Sulthan Bathery is 55 km ahead.
Coach breakfast
Sulthan Bathery, 115 km from Mysore, is the bus breakfast stop. The town is the main transport hub of Wayanad, and the driver uses a hotel with space for a coach. Forty minutes covers forty people. Edakkal Caves, about 12 km away, cap visitors at 1,920 a day and need a climb on foot, so a bus group keeps them for a Wayanad trip. The bus moves on to Kalpetta and the ghat; Kozhikode is 95 km on.
Lunch on the bypass
Kozhikode, 210 km out, is the lunch halt, and the bus uses the bypass to avoid the centre. A hotel that seats forty at once keeps lunch to forty five minutes. One person can buy banana chips and halwa for the bus at SM Street while the rest eat. On the way back, note that heavy trucks are kept off the Thamarassery ghat by day, so the ghat is crowded at night. Thrissur is 115 km on.
Tea outside the centre
For the bus, Thrissur means a twenty minute tea halt on the outer road at the 325 km mark, since the streets ringing the Thekkinkadu Maidan are too crowded for a coach. Restrooms at the larger hotels on that road suit a big group. The Paramekkavu and Thiruvambadi temples here lead the Pooram festival in April or May, when the city is packed. Thrissur is known for its gold jewellery trade. The bus goes on by Angamaly to Muvattupuzha, 70 km on.
Junction halt
Muvattupuzha, at 395 km, is where the bus turns onto the MC Road. The town sits at the crossing of the MC Road and the Kochi to Madurai highway, so the junction is busy; the bus stops for ten minutes only if the group needs a restroom. Thodupuzha is about 20 km away on another road. Arakuzha, with its old Marth Mariam church, is 5 km off. Kottayam is 50 km ahead.
Drop at the hotel
The bus takes about eleven hours with halts to reach Kottayam. We drop the group at a hotel with coach parking; the town centre has narrow roads for a full size bus. Kottayam is about 154 km north of Thiruvananthapuram and 66 km south of Kochi, and its railway station is used by Sabarimala pilgrims, so the town is busy in the season. Ask the hotel for the town's Syrian Christian food at dinner; pidi with a dark chicken curry of roasted coconut is the dish people name first.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

Kottayam is about 445 km from Mysore by road, so about 890 km for the round trip. The bus takes NH766 through Gundlupet and Sulthan Bathery, descends the Thamarassery ghat to Kozhikode, runs through Thrissur and then follows the MC Road by Muvattupuzha. A full coach needs about 11 hours with halts.
It can be done. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
No. Tolls for a Bus are higher than for a car; we list them with GST and parking. Add the Kerala entry permit for the bus, billed at cost.
Only if the driver drives late at night; then a night allowance is added. The bus night bata is ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size.
The 49 or 50 seater has a seat for all plus a few extra. See the sizes on bus on rent in Mysore.
The km are close. Via Wayanad we cross one forest early and join the coast road at Kozhikode.
From mid November to January the Kerala roads carry many Sabarimala pilgrim vehicles, and Kottayam, a pilgrim rail town, is busy. In the monsoon, June to September, the Thamarassery ghat is slower. April and May are hot on the plains. For a large group, late January to March is often the easiest window for both roads and hotels.
Not on the Mysore side. Night traffic on the Bandipur and Muthanga highway is stopped between 9 pm and 6 am, and a coach leaving in the evening would sit at the barrier for hours. A 5 am start in daylight is quicker in the end. Coming home, the coach has to be through the reserve before the 9 pm cut off, or the group sleeps in Wayanad and goes on at dawn.
