Early pickup
For Kottayam the Urbania sets off at 5:30 am. Give us one or two addresses in Mysuru, a house, a hotel or the station, and the van does the rounds. The road out is the Nanjangud road, NH766, so the van stays clear of the old city. Planning a sightseeing day in Mysore first? Avoid a Tuesday, when the zoo stays closed. Big bags go behind the last row, and the day's water and snacks stay at the seats.
Restroom stop
Gundlupet, 60 km out, is the restroom and tea stop before the reserve. Seniors can stay in the van while the rest fetch tea, and the driver tops up the tank. Rain is scarce out here, a fraction of what the Kerala slopes ahead receive, so the scrub looks dusty for much of the year. From here about 25 km of the road is forest, shut from 9 pm to 6 am and with no halts allowed. Breakfast is 55 km away.
Breakfast in Bathery
Sulthan Bathery is 115 km from Mysore and the Urbania's breakfast stop. The Muthanga range of the Wayanad sanctuary lies on the highway just behind the town. Half an hour covers appam with stew and a coffee. Thovarimala, with its ancient writing cut into rock, is near the town, a sight to save for a Wayanad stay rather than today. Forest honey sold in the market makes a light gift. Kozhikode is about 95 km away.
Lunch on the coast
The Urbania reaches Kozhikode, 210 km out, after the Thamarassery ghat, and lunch takes about forty five minutes. UNESCO named the city a City of Literature, the first in India, and its old sweetmeat lane, SM Street, sits in the centre. After the meal, a plate of pazham pori, sweet banana fritters, with tea goes down well with the group, and the van waits on a side road with room to park. Beypore, where wooden uru boats were once built, is a detour for the return. Thrissur is 115 km on.
Tea and a walk
At Thrissur, with 325 km done, the Urbania pauses twenty minutes for tea. The tall white towers of the Our Lady of Dolours Basilica rise over the city, a church often called the biggest in the country, while the old Shiva temple of Vadakkumnathan crowns the central hill. Kerala tea shops here serve parippu vada with kattan chaya, black tea, the snack the region is known for. From Thrissur the Urbania heads south by Angamaly, and Muvattupuzha is 70 km on.
Junction town
Muvattupuzha is 395 km from Mysore, at the meeting of the MC Road with the Kochi and Madurai highway. The Urbania takes a ten minute break here so seniors can stretch before the last hour. Ernakulam is about 28 km to the west, but our road keeps south on the MC Road. The old Marth Mariam church at Arakuzha is about 5 km away, for a church minded group on the way home. Kottayam is 50 km ahead.
Group drop
With the halts, the Urbania takes about nine hours to Kottayam, and the whole group gets down together at its hotel, where the van can park at the door. Kottayam railway station is one of the stops Sabarimala pilgrims use, so hotels near it fill in the pilgrim season; book ahead from November. The town is about 66 km south of Kochi and makes a quiet base. Dinner can be the Syrian Christian food of the area, such as pidi with chicken curry.
Want a Mysore to Kottayam Force Urbania for 8 to 16 people for Kottayam and the Kumarakom backwaters? From Mysuru it is roughly 445 km to Kottayam, via Gundlupet, Sulthan Bathery and Kozhikode. Pickup for the Kottayam run is from a Nazarbad hotel or a hotel near the palace. We arrange Force Urbania on rent in Mysore with a driver, one rate for every size. Quieter, more headroom, big windows.

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.

It is about 445 km from Mysore to Kottayam, so about 890 km both ways. The Urbania runs NH766 by Gundlupet and Sulthan Bathery, takes the Thamarassery ghat to Kozhikode, then the coastal plains through Thrissur and the MC Road via Muvattupuzha. With halts, expect about 9 hours of driving.
No. The ₹40/km covers fuel, driver and AC; tolls, parking and GST are separate. Also extra: the Kerala entry permit.
For Kottayam, the 12 seater, with space for bags. See the sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
On request, yes. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. It is shown in the quote. For the Urbania: ₹700 a night.
It comes from owners we work with, with their driver, booked by us at our rate.
It can. Thrissur Pooram falls in April or May, and over a million people gather at the Thekkinkadu Maidan in the city centre, so traffic through Thrissur crawls that day and the weeks of the Pooram exhibition are busy too. If your date clashes, the Urbania keeps to the bypass and we allow an extra hour. Ask us for the year's date when you book.
Big bags travel behind the last row, so give each person one main bag and one small hand bag for the day. Keep water, snacks, medicines and a shawl at the seats, since the van cannot stop in the forest. Tell us at booking if you carry extra luggage, such as wedding gifts, so we plan the space.
